Morning Recovery Run 12km : Diary of a Taper

Morning 12km run from home as recovery from Parkrun yesterday and a continued taper for Australian Masters Athletics Championships commencing in 5 days. Training volume is now 98km last 7 days, expected to be around 80km by the start of my first race which is a 10000m on track. I'm already feeling good in training, no niggles at all. Next hard efforts on Monday and Wednesday with a 1km effort on each of those days plus short strides to keep the legs ticking over.

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.
