Stromlo XC Intervals 17km incl 3 x 1200m

Tuesday afternoon session at Stromlo XC circuits with Helen. Weather sunny, warm and very windy. We found a loop least exposed to the wind. The session with Helen of 3 x 1200m hilly with 700m recovery. All up 12km with Helen, another 5km for me to maintain 120km+ previous 7 days. Helen averaged 4:10/km each 1200m, ranging from 4:02/km to 4:16/km. I provided the pacing.

Next set Wednesday morning with Steve at Stromlo again of 4 x 500m leg speed intervals. I'll also have a steady run around the hilly BBQ Stakes course at lunch time to complete my 17km for the day.

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.
