Cycle Begins Again


Only 2km with Bella yesterday on my recovery from Championships day. Today straight back into it with a 20km run over the mountain to work and back. It will be normal base building 101 tomorrow with a long intervals session either on track or at Stromlo.
In 11 days the Australian Running Festival Half Marathon…I get an extra week of recovery this year. I am entered for the Gold Coast Half Marathon in July so it will be interesting to see if I can improve with some specific half marathon training.

Looking way forward I will adjust the competition blocks back to make good for the Australian Masters Athletics Championships at Hobart in early March (non-Easter). Only three days competition so 10000m, 5000m, Cross Country for me on consecutive days. Prior to that there is Oceania Championships in hot January Bendigo (5000m & 800m), Australian Masters Games in cool October Geelong (5000m & 1500m). Zatopek B Grade 10000m and Victorian 5000m Championships will also slot in there somewhere.
On the road, after I return from Tour de France will be City2Surf and Canberra Times Fun Run…not much room in the year for anything else.

A big weather event is brewing for much of my local area this afternoon and weekend. Up to 100mm predicted to fall with damaging winds. I've been through a few of these periods now. I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
