Coastal 3 Day Training Camp

With most of the gang on the coast this long weekend I decided to head down too for a change of scenery.

Friday: 14km tempo out and back on beach. Splits: 30,24 minutes (tailwind on return)

Saturday: Parkrun 5km 17:33 1st. Set new course age standard record. Course flat with 4 dead turns, four times over wet slippery granite section (drizzling). PM same 14km as previous day. Splits: 30,32 minutes (recovery run).

Sunday 80 minute tempo run on mix of grass, beach and concrete path. Negative split on second half, was running with Millie the dog.

Monday I'll aim for 6 x 800m set I missed on Saturday if I feel well. 10000m on track Thursday. Tuesday and Wednesday easier with strides or going through motions. No taper.

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.
