Steve 4 x 3 min Intervals : Bike Path Recovery Run 17km : Keith HIIT session on stationary bike

Image
More rain overnight, clearing during the morning (for now). Steve got out there in the wet with 4 x 3 minute efforts, speed 3:51/km reducing to 3:37/km. I ran on bitumen 17km. All of Stromlo is saturated. The top soil dressing from recent days should help the track become runable again when it dries. Easy running until Saturday morning when I'll see if Stromlo training is possible. Keith ran 1km warm up followed by a HIIT session on stationary bike, 20 minutes.

Not Parkrun Stromlo 5km 16:46 : Steve 20km : Keith 9km

Image
Rain overnight drying off to light drizzle for a 5000m Time Trial at Stromlo in 16:46. Light winds made the uphill section of each of the 5 laps quicker than the downhill section. Splits(500m):1:43,1:37,1:42,1:37,1:41,1:40,1:42,1:41,1:42,1:37. More rain expected over the next few days. I'll just do long recovery runs and some leg speed strides on grass until the weather improves. This morning Steve ran 20km. Keith ran 9km later in the day, still wet.

The Ultimate Box-like SUV for Parkrun Tourists in Pictures

Image
In 2008 (actually much earlier) I began my journey of living in a house on wheels. Over time the dream morphed into a quest for the ultimate box-like SUV. I collected this years model this week, I can't go anywhere yet, maybe December I can become the ultimate Parkrun Tourist. This post a retrospective in pictures of previous box-live vehicles and experiences. Over time internet and connectivity is almost everywhere. It's possible to do almost anything in a box-like SUV and have a meaningful existence. Wish List: Box-like vehicle, Phone that does everything, Car kettle, TV, Internet, solar powered battery box, comfy bed, fresh yummy food, new experiences always. Here we go pictures.
