Pre-Dawn Warm Up Run ; Maximum Threshold Hill Loop Effort ; Glasshouse Rocks Beach Intervals 2 x 1km Whale Spotting

Today my Racing shoes arrived by courier. I already have 2 pair of this model. Still very happy to have some fresh foam to wear. On the day it was announced by researchers that Humpback Whale numbers have recovered to 50,000 they are still moving south today in large numbers, an absolute joy to watch with many people gathered at the Lookout across the road.. a big buzz in town.
Up very early for a Pre-dawn warm up run under the light of a big full moon followed by a maximum Threshold effort on my regular hill loop with the run, 15 minutes quicker than yesterday.After the Hill Effort a trip to Glasshouse Rocks Beaches for a set of 2 x 1km Intervals on a rising tide.

What shoes? I have one fresh pair of Alpha 1s left and picked up a Next% 3 at the outlet centre discounted a couple of weeks ago. Very random as to what shoes will be on sale there though.

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.
