Tempo Run : 1500m

Another cold and breezy day, late in the afternoon trot to the track towed by the dog, set the watch on 19 per 100m, 1500m 444,let the dog tow me home again. Do I risk one more tempo? Tmoz is the last day to do? Probably not! Too risky the niggle in this cold.

SBx all the best for the C2S, I know you are due for a scorcher, and let's hope we see you for the whole race on TV like last year.

Ran the BBQ today, slowly getting some form back, managed 27.22, my best for a while. Helen ran a screamer, she started 30 seconds behind me, but had caught me within the first km. I tried to maintain a steady pace for the first 4km, then ran the last 2km in 4mins each.

Managed to catch Helen and held her off at the end, she is so strong...

Oh almost forgot, Helen ran with a mug and a cup of coffee in her tummy, that's probably why she shot past me so soon, lol.

Great run SBx - 48mins, you must have been in between Jess Trengrove and Emily Brichachek, JBHifi and L&P 54mins, they are so good those two, and Minnie running 68 wow that is great too.

Saw you at the start and also saw Keith Bateman during the footage, he looks so fit, also saw Pete Cullen finish and Johno (Pommie Army guy), great coverage this year more focus on the crowds.

Liam Adams ran a brilliant last 300m, he absolutely smashed Michael Shelley, and Marty Dent got a good third.

Catch up to you round the traps, and once again great run SBx.

Australian Running Festival Canberra Half Marathon 77:22 1st M50-59

Weather cool to warm, light winds, cloudy to full sun for Australian Running Festival Canberra Half Marathon this morning. My plan was to run 2 x 10km splits of 35 minutes and find my way to the finish as best I could. I found myself in the second pack shortly after the start. Splits to 5km were good (3:29,3:26,3:17,3:17,3:25). From around 9km on I was struggling with dehydration, splits mostly in the 3:40s. I stopped for a minute at the final drink station for 3 cups of water and one over the head. Not my best run, no harm done to the legs. I will have recovered easily by Australian Masters Athletics Championships which begin in 12 days.

ACT Masters 5000m Championships

Completely unexpected we had the hottest 5000m field at club track since I started running again in 2007. Weather was cool but windy...probably not more than 1-2 seconds a lap. We had to run in lanes 2-3 for some...cost more than the wind. Brad led the early laps solo. Olympian Shaun M50, Jacob M30s, myself a chasing pack, Jim and Steve chasing us. I survived 2000m sheltered out of the wind before I cracked, just before they caught and passed Brad, Brad and I had to survive to the end solo. Shaun 16:03 and Jacob ran 16:06, Brad 16:52, me 16:54, Jim 17:11, Steve 17:54. First two females V 19:59 and Leanne 20:03 ran together most of the race. My first race in Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4% on track. Wearing them in for the Australian Running Festival Half Marathon on Sunday.
