Long Lakeside Recovery Run 18km ; European Masters 5km Challenge

Sunday morning 18km recovery run down to the lake and back. Weather cool, windy, full sun. We celebrated easing of Covid-19 restrictions with a small gathering. It was a late night and happy I have done my running early so I can have an afternoon snooze.

Next sets will focus on setting times in the European Masters 5km Challenge, a virtual event we have entered to keep things interesting. I'll look to post a couple of solo 5km times and help my friends post theirs with some pacing help. Any sessions in between will be short interval sets that aid my 5km time. I'll incorporate a few easy days but won't drop below 120km/week.

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.
