Lunchtime Lake Tempo Run 17km

At noon a lunchtime tempo run around the lake near work of 17km. Pace started at 5:30/km working down to low 4mins/km. Weather was warm, air quality good, cloudy, some wind and high humidity. It had poured rain most of the night, stopping around 9am this morning. Puddles everywhere on the bike path. I've been adding in a few runs in the last 3 weeks to harden the legs up for Marathon de Paris. I won't do more than two runs on a hard surface each week.

It's time to begin structured training again. I'll begin with two long interval sessions this week and see how the body holds up. Parkrun again on Saturday.

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.
