Australian Masters Athletics Half Marathon Championships 26th May 2019

Next race on the agenda is the Australian Masters Athletics Half Marathon Championships to be held here in Canberra on 26th May, just a few weeks away. I pulled up well after 4 days of tough racing. Yesterday was an up tempo 15km run on bike path and trails. No break from training, I'm back into base building mode for around 6 months with very few races, lots of threshold intervals and runs. Only City2Surf 14km road race on 11th August is confirmed. I'll be in France for 5 weeks from 24th June which will include a few Parkruns.

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.
