Stromlo XC Intervals 4 x 800m, 400m recovery

Saturday morning session at Stromlo XC circuits. Weather very windy, cold, track completely saturated, sometimes sunny. We found a relatively dry section on the lower part of the circuit although nowhere to hide from the 50kph winds. Five of us there.

The set: Warm up, 5 x 100m strides, 4 x 800m efforts with 400m slow jog recovery, warm down. Post session coffee and jaffle. Six of us there for that.

Splits: 3:15/km,3:09/km,3:10/km,3:06/km. Huge gusts of wind out there during each effort. It was almost stop dead at times. The best of the girls just over 4:00/km.

Sunday morning a long recovery run. Next set on Monday morning, the weather should be less windy, very cold morning.

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.
