BBQ Stakes Maximum Threshold 6km XC 21:33 ; Steve Half Marathon Session : 14km

BBQ Stakes in reverse order today being first Wednesday of the month. It's not my preferred direction although times suggest there is little difference. Times over the last 3 weeks after AMA Championships were 21:35,21:34,21:33. Times before AMA Championships were 21:59,21:46,21:48,21:47. There was a jump in form coming from the AMA Championships and it continues to improve very slowly.

This afternoon an easy recovery run of 45 minutes to make 130km last 7 days. Next set on Saturday at Stromlo with long XC intervals.

Steve today a 14km half marathon paced run finding his groove for the Gold Coast Half Marathon. Splits look promising. Next like effort over 16km.

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.
