Stromlo XC 5 x 300m, 60 seconds recovery ; Steve 4 x 600m 1:50s, 400m recovery

This afternoon at Stromlo XC circuit a set of 6 x 300m efforts (200m for Helen) with 60 seconds jog recovery. We used the 100m posts as a guide for speed. Helen at 4:00-4:20/km. Myself at 3:10/km.

Prior to us Steve ran 4 x 600m efforts with 400m recovery. All efforts were also around 3:10/km.

We all did the usual warm up with 5 x 100m strides.

This Tuesday set will be a light set while I get some harder sets in around it. Tomorrow will be a 6km hilly, mostly XC maximum threshold set.

The daylight is getting shorter. For the moment the temperatures are mild. That's about to change in a couple of days as winter begins to set in.

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.

This morning a quick meet and greet of my friends before heading to Glasshouse Rocks Beaches racing Munchkin the Border Collie at low tide on firm, fast sand. Weather cool, no wind. Our maximum threshold session was great with the beaches deserted. The session would have been perfect except for munchkin leaping out of the car with her harness being attached. It took a long time to correct this puppy brain fade.
