Stromlo XC Intervals : 5 x 600m

Weather sunny, cool, no wind. Track starting to brown off but still soft at this stage. Lane ropes are up with school XC carnivals in full swing. Distances on the 1000m loop much longer than normal.

The set: 1000m warm up, 4 x 100m, 5 x 600m (153,152,152,152,147) with 400m float recovery, 1500m warm down. Another 45 minutes recovery run this afternoon makes my third 120km+ week since Australian Masters Athletics Championships.

Very happy with that set this morning. Tomorrow with be a longer step down set, same as last Saturday. It is expected to rain on Sunday, not good for those doing Mothers Day Classic.

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.
