Stromlo Steve 3 x 1000m XC Intervals ; 3000m Track 10:05

Tuesday morning set of 3 x 1000m for Steve at Stromlo XC circuits. Weather cool, light winds, magpie is still swooping. Splits: 3:16,3:17,3:11

With OK weather I got out there for a long run including 3000m on track. Only 2 days to go until the European Masters Athletics 3000m Virtual Challenge for September finishes. I had run 10:21 and 10:19 a couple of weeks ago and was going to sit on those. It looks like they will not be good enough to win M55 category, thus the run today. I may have one more run on Wednesday, the final day of the challenge. Splits: 1:38,1:38,1:42,1:41,1:45,1:38. Throw out the bad split to 500m to go and it would have been 10 flat.

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.
