Long Runs ; Road Trip Canberra to Cadel Evans

I've almost finished my first of three big weeks before I taper for a 10000m club race. The weeks will be 140km+ and comprise of session days (racing or sessions) and long run days (16-21km), alternating between the two. This morning was my 4th long run this week, 18km all up and my quickest this week. Next hard day will most likely be a Park Run 5km in Geelong. That means tomorrow was another long run 0f 19km.

Keith did a session this morning of 400s. He will also do a Park Run on Saturday, as will Steve.

This morning after the long run a road trip from Canberra to Bright via the Beechworth Bakery. Tomorrow it's on to Melbourne and a hideaway near Geelong and on the course of the Cadel Evans cycling festival 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.
