Keith 5min,4min,3min,2min,1min by HR ; Steve 3 x 600m + 400m

This afternoon (Thursday) Keith in his 2nd set of this build up 5min (150bpm),4min (155bpm),3min (160bpm),2min (165bpm),1 minute efforts (170bpm) by HR (reducing to 135bpm before next interval). Weather was windy, warm, undulating surface.

Steve this morning a set of 3 x 600m plus 400m. Splits: 1:53,1:58,1:58,74. Yesterday was 4 x 200m in 34 seconds.

For me: I think I've isolated the problem with my thigh. I shouldn't have been surprised, common for the last 3 years at this time. Lots of stretching, foam rolling and some rest has me going again. I'll take every day as it comes, should know by Sunday evening if I can start resuming faster efforts. I was feeling good today.

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.
