World Masters Athletics Championships Lyon : 10000m M50 Preview

Another boutique track, Laurent Gerin in play, approx. 2km from Parc Parilly and 5km from the hotel. Wide bends, short straights again. The weather expected part sunshine and 23 degrees at 2:45PM for the A final. Much cooler than for the 5000m.

A smaller field for the 10000m of 50+ in two finals. There will be DNS again for those injured, tired or competing in 1500m later in the program.

The 10000m being my final race of the meet I will be giving it everything I have left, starting relatively fast and then hanging in there. Today a 14km run out to the Laurent Gerin stadium and back. Tomorrow a shorter run in Par Parilly including some strides.

I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
