Coombs Parkrun Recon

Living very close to Coombs Parkrun and able to find gaps in the restraining infrastructure (whatever that means...fences) I have been training on the Coombs Parkrun course for a few months, albeit unknown to me until this week...anyhoo!!

I ran 18km today, out and back. Feeling very fatigued after six weeks of high volume (120km+/week). I've started taking the odd rest/easy day to stop from topping out.

Next set on Tuesday morning with Steve, 500m leg speed intervals which will set up for 800m intervals on Thursday. Weekend at Stromlo is all about trails and such with the Stromlo Running Festival in the 10km trails, most popular the 30km trails. Insane the 50km trails. Most of us will be running, me for the expensive t-shirt. There will be cheering on and cheese and spaghetti toasties in between.

How quickly time passes!! We had not done smoke, bushfires or Covid a year ago. Recent trips on the coast illustrate not has changed much. Struggling, some re-building almost a year on. I did not see an Emu (huge bird) last two visits to the coast. Fish are still in the water, birdlife flourishing...hope yet.
