Power Hills : Strength Hills

Another 18km today in the bush trails on Black Mountain and Mount Painter. 45 minute warm up, 5 x 100 metre power hills, 3 x strength hills (done at maximum threshold) of 6,5&4 minutes with 30 seconds jog between each effort. The course started in Frosty Hollow, finished almost at the summit of Mount Painter (two horses stopped me), warm down to home and then with Bella. I'm still a bit run down from this virus, have needed a nap before each run last 2 days. Somehow I've managed to run quite well after the nap. Yesterday was also 18km. Looks like I will complete four consecutive months average 120km+ for the first time since 2010.

Keith did 4 x 1500 metres on an undulating road with two hills. Splits: 5:36, 5:40, 5:44, 5:53. By coincidence Keith also met two horses, mine had female riders.

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
