Stromlo XC Intervals 3 x 600m, 400m jog recovery ; Steve 9km tempo incl 5km 19:01

I am well into taper week for City2Surf 14km road race. Today a lunch time 4km run on grass including 6 x 150m strides at 3:00/km. In the afternoon at Stromlo XC circuit 8km including 4 x 100m strides and 3 x 600m efforts with 400m jog recovery. Splits: 1:46,1:44,1:40. I felt great, never full gas. I'm now at the same training level as I was a week out from Australian Masters Athletics Championships in late April 2019. I'll find out how that plays out over 14km on Sunday.

Today Steve ran a 9km tempo run with the middle 5km in 19:01. Another great effort for Steve who is still in winter training mode and consistently putting out solid sessions.

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.
