Steve Stromlo XC Stepdown Intervals 2000m,1500m,1200m,800m,400m ; Keith in Bega

Steve early this morning at Stromlo. Steve away for the weekend, snuck the Saturday set in today.

The set: 2000m 7:25, 1500m 5:17, 1200m 4:17, 800m 2:41, 400m 77. Overall better paced and quicker than 5 days ago. We will fit in around 10 of these type sets on both grass and track before Australian Masters Athletics Championships in Melbourne in late April. My flights and accommodation are now booked for those.

Keith in Bega ran 3 x 3 minute efforts with 2 minutes jog recovery on grass track along with warm up and 5 x 100m strides.

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.
