Parkrun Gungahlin 5km 16:42 1st ; Steve Parkrun Nambour 5km 3rd

Cool change came in last evening. After 35 degrees yesterday back into the mid-20s, much nicer for running even with a 15-20kph breeze.

I had a runner to lead me out again although he lasted for less than a kilometre. Splits slower into the wind for the first two kilometres, then identical to a couple of days ago for the last 3km. Splits from Garmin: 3:15, 3:24, 3:13, 3:20, 3:19.

I didn't feel great in the warm up and strides, sluggish from three consecutive hard days. On a positive my running form held throughout and I felt strong if not nippy out there.

Back to normal training this week. Next set in two days, 600m XC efforts at Stromlo. A longer set two days after that. Parkrun again on Saturday. Still keeping the 130km weeks rolling along.

Steve up north a 13 second PB at his Parkrun holiday XC course.

Now out for a run with Jaffa.
