BBQ Stakes Hilly 6km Maximum Threshold XC Run 22:16 ; Keith 8 x 1 minute efforts

Lunch time low key community run BBQ Stakes used as a hilly 6km maximum threshold XC run as I have over the last few weeks. Today 30 seconds quicker than recent efforts which were all within 5 seconds of each other. All the long hilly runs and intervals made a difference. It will be my last big effort until ACT Masters XC Championships on August 23rd. I'm back in good form again. Splits (500m): 1:53,1:52,1:59,1:55,1:46,1:54,2:02,2:00,1;36,1:39,1:48,1:42,

Keith ran 8 x 1 minute efforts, 1 minute jog recovery on gravel road. Weather down near the coast was similar to here with cool temperature, some cloud and wind.

Joy oh joy, some cycling on TV with Criterium du Dauphine beginning this evening.

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.
