Taper Mode

Despite the hot forecast I feel up for Thursday evening and the ACTVAC 10000m. Rarely do I approach the first 10km track of the summer with a good head (chubby) but by good will and fortune (except for the forecast) I am in great shape and this is how I will approach things.

It was a struggle yesterday after the solid Sunday session (23km at lower threshold). I felt great this morning, I felt great this evening on my 6km run over the mountain again. I expect nothing will be different tmoz...

No excuses. No time predictions, the result will stand on it's own. I won't leave anything in the tank...See what happens.

In the meanwhile I have heard from Kathy, Keith, Steve and Jane...all are going great. Hopefully we all catch up on or near the weekend.

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
