Wednesday Afternoon Storm Dodging Run 17km

Late afternoon run of 17km in between storms. I wasn't brave for the first 10km running 1km laps around the local pond close to home, eventually headed off when the thunder and lightning moved away. Very humid, no wind. I've started front loading the weekly volume to give me just 10km to do on Friday's before Saturday's Parkrun or a big set and still maintain 120km for the week.

Next set on Thursday morning with Steve 4 x 500m leg speed intervals with Steve. I'll double up with Helen a similar set in the afternoon. Both sets at Stromlo XC circuits.

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.
