Stromlo XC Intervals 3 x 1000m ; Steve Parkrun 18:07 3rd

We are back to winter here with cold gale force winds, rain overnight and snow on the surrounding hills. I was at Stromlo with Jen to do 3 x 1000m XC intervals. In the cold I ran in tights and two fleece tops, gloves and thermal hat. Jen ran 4:20-4:40/km. My splits: 3:15,3:14,3:09. Early splits similar speed to the Thursday 600m set. I found something extra on the final effort when I was fully warmed up. 12km in the morning set, 8km in the afternoon with Milli the Border Collie. Long run tomorrow.

Steve ran at Parkrun Gungahlin finishing in 3rd place and setting a new M50 age record. Conditions were similar to here...cold and windy.

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.
