Rain and Cold Overnight ; Glorious Sunny Day ; 5km Warm Up ; 10km Hill Loop ; 2km Warm Down

Pre-Dawn Warm up from home before heading out on a fast paced run over the local hills. Last evening spent most of my time watching Criterium du Dauphine on the TV. Great viewing now they are in the mountains with flyovers of familiar places while I was staying in and around Sallanches , Mont Blanc and Chamonix Les Bossons while running up Cote Domancy in 2016 while watching Tour de France. More Broken Sleep to come when the cycling moves on to Tour de France :-)

The SBS cyling coverage has been superb. Loved the Giro, often stayed up until the stage finished.

Long Hilly Run 20km ; 4 x 100m, 3 x 200m, 3 x 300m strides

This morning out for a long, hilly 20km in 84 minutes. Plenty of others out there getting the job done before the heat of the day. Spotted Ewen out there at one point putting in a surge I could barely match. In the afternoon still hot. I ran 5km including 4 x 100m (19,17,15,14), 3 x 200m (32,31,31) and 3 x 300m (51,48,48) strides. Legs felt good once they got going. All up 25km for the day, 122km last 7 days. Monday morning a long run including 5 x 100m strides (18,16,15,14,14) and a 600m effort at 3:10/km. On New Years Day 5km Parkrun events at 730am Gungahlin and 930am Tuggeranong. I'll run the first flat out. If I am able to I'd like to break the current M55 record on the Tuggeranong course. It's held by Simon Claringbold with 4 identical times of 17:26. I'm not sure I can on my current form, especially as a second run for the day. If I can't I'll try later in the year when I am fresh and it's a little cooler.
