Parkrun Batemans Bay 2nd 17:40 ; Marathon de Paris postponed to 18th October

Saturday morning Parkrun at Batemans Bay, 2nd in 17:40. My PB is 17:17. Weather warm, no wind, not bad for running. Splits: 3:26,3:27,3:31,3:33,3:32. Heart rate never got over 165. In the afternoon a recovery run to make 18km for the day, 132km this week. Tomorrow a long run along the coast and back, varied terrain.

Last evening I heard Marathon de Paris was postponed to 18th October due to Coronavirus. I preempted this a couple of weeks ago and decided to run Australian Masters Athletics Championships in Brisbane in the 10000m, 5000m, 1500m and 8km XC. I will enter when I get home from the coast.

This week is 10000m on track with ACT Masters. I'll freshen up for a couple of days, run one pace session on Tuesday. I won't be at my best yet, my blood values will be poor from a few weeks of hard training. I will also run 5000m on track with ACT Masters on 26 March. I should be in good form by then.

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.

This morning a quick meet and greet of my friends before heading to Glasshouse Rocks Beaches racing Munchkin the Border Collie at low tide on firm, fast sand. Weather cool, no wind. Our maximum threshold session was great with the beaches deserted. The session would have been perfect except for munchkin leaping out of the car with her harness being attached. It took a long time to correct this puppy brain fade.
