2012 : Part 2

Winter has been long and cold in the capital, even if I spent a few warm weeks in France. Started watching the SBS DVD of Tour de France last night, forgot summer was less than two months ago...the blossoms have just come out in the back garden here, everything else just looks grey.

I have two great chances to do something special in 2012, both chances will be in Melbourne. One a 5000m at the Vic Champs lower grades, the other a 10000m at the Zatopek lower grades. That will be the focus for the remainder of the year.

I still have one month to go in this training block with a 10km road race at the end of it. The four key sessions will be:
2000m, 1600m, 1200m, 800m, 400m on track on Saturday morning.
2000m, 4 x 800m on Tuesday afternoon.
5 x 400m, or 6 x 300m, or 6 x 200m, or power hills, or something similar on Thursday afternoon.
Fat burning 90min+ on Sunday morning.
120km per week workload until a few days before the Coffee Club 10km Road Race in Melbourne.
ACTVAC 4km XC handicap next Sunday replaces long run which will be done on Monday...that's all assuming I will stay fit and healthy during that period! I expect so.
