Keith 6 x 3 minutes ; Helen Long Progressive Intervals BBQ in reverse
Yesterday brought the foul weather of May. High winds, no precipitation to speak of. Keith did his 6 x 3 minute efforts in the worst of it. Bravo!
Today slightly less wind. It may snow on the surrounding hills in coming days...certainly in the alps. Helen ran BBQ as long intervals with short recovery. Stopping mid-event for a loose shoe lace and still ran 27:41 for 6km with 3:15 of recovery time. The times continue to drop.
Of me: Back up to full volume again but still with some slight niggles from the weekend. Tomorrow will be a long interval session somewhere, depending on the wind. I may head into some pines for a change and protection. Today 4 x 1:50 hills in a 75 minute run.
Next race won't be until early June and then possibly on successive weekends. That gives me another 3-4 weeks of hard sessions and high volume to make another step up in form. I'm already feeling like I'm on top of things but anything can happen in life.
Last word on Puffing Billy Great Train Race. Found this image of my bunch at the 1.5km mark, just before starting the first climb of over 1km. I had no idea of who was in the bunch or how many until today. Of course there was a group of 5 a short way ahead of us.%5B1%5D.JPG)
