Stromlo XC Intervals 4 x 2 minute efforts, 60 seconds recovery ; Long Recovery Runs

Stromlo XC circuit the venue again for a repeat of the Saturday session. Weather sunny, cool, light winds. Pace was faster than on Saturday but not at full gas. I picked up a head cold on weekend, just rotating through long recovery runs and light speed sessions until this virus clears. Today a long recovery run of 75 minutes through forest trails. Volume is down although still over 120km for this week. Hopefully resuming intense sessions on Saturday.

Entries for World Masters Athletics Championships in Malaga close tomorrow.

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.
