ACT Masters Track : 3000m, 800m, 3000m Handicap

No championship races on offer for me this evening, a continuation of a big training week of 135km last 7 days. Weather very humid, very warm, some wind...better than it has been at this venue.

I ran 3000m at 6pm and 8pm both at 10km tempo of 3:19/km. In between there was a big and talented field in the 800m. I got a sit for most of it, felt great and ran last 200m in 32-33 seconds for 2:21 and a rare negative split 800m. It will be 800m championships next week. We won't be running a 3000m before, times for all of us should be quick. I'm hoping for sub-2:16. Let's see what happens.

Tomorrow I'm not working. Long run in morning. Saturday 6,5,4,3,2,1 minute efforts. Sunday??

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.
