Rottnest Island Taper Week Day 5 : 2 x 1000m ; Rottnest Island Marathon
Up very early before the start of the Rottnest Island Marathon to do my set. Weather sunny, warm, still (ocean like glass). The runners will struggle with full sun and heat in the second half.
The set: 2km warm up, 5 x 100m strides, 2 x 1000m efforts (same section as yesterday) 3:03 (1:29,3:04), 3:03 (1:29,3:04), back to house for change of singlet, grab camera and drink in time for start of race.
I started too fast in both efforts, just as quick as yesterday, felt a little more fatigued. That's it for me. Just easy runs and strides until World Masters Athletics Championships.
Cheering on Peter 'Thommo' Thomson in the marathon.
