Keith in Bemboka ; Stromlo Short XC Intervals

Wind gusting above 50kph this morning made it tough for a session wherever we were.

Keith in Bemboka ran 6 x 3-4 minute efforts. The 4 minute efforts into the wind the 3 minute efforts with the wind. Set was on undulating dirt fire trail.

Only 4 of us at Stromlo. We ran a repeat of my session yesterday due to the strong winds. The set: 4600m warm up, 4 x 400m, 2000m warm down. My splits: 73,70,68,67 which were quicker than yesterday. I ran a loosener in the afternoon to make 20km for the day, 125km last 7 days.

Tomorrow should be much better for running. If I am feeling good I'll head out for a longer session. If I'm not so good I'll wait until Monday, a public holiday. My only other set this week will be on Wednesday or Thursday, another short set. Racing 8000m XC on Saturday.

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.
