Keith 2 x 1500m

Today Keith the usual warm up and warm down with strides, then into the set. 2 x 1500m 4:54, 4:54. Judging by that session he is still in top form, will have another crack at an ACT M55 in coming weeks I am sure.

Keith is giving me a challenge in the Geoff Moore 3000m series this season, as he did last season. In nine seasons of masters athletics I've only ever been challenged by one male in the series. Kathy is usually ahead of me on ast as leading female in the series.

Today another 80 minutes steady, no pain at all. It's only full gas sprinting that causes concern so I'll try to rest up a little until the Saturday 6,5,4,3,2,1 minute session. Sitting on 130km this week.

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.
