World Masters Athletics Championships 2018 : Taper Day 2 : 3 x 800m

Rain this morning with wind came through when I was doing strides on track, first rain on me in two weeks. Track was wet and slippery.

The set: Warm up, 4 x 100m, 4 x 200m,200m jog (34,33,rain starts,34,35), 3 x 800m,400m jog (2:30,2:31,2:31), 4 x 100m strides, warm down. Easy recovery run in afternoon to make 17km for the day, 124km last 7 days.

Comment on set: I was feeling good today after feeling fatigued after Parkrun on Saturday. Shame about the wind and rain but another good set, small step forward.

Another recovery day tomorrow, 16km. Big set on Wednesday with 2000m,1500m,1200m,800m,400m if the track is dry. Otherwise something similar on road.

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.
