Stromlo XC Intervals 4 x 800m, 200m Recovery : Steve 4 x 500m, 3 Minutes Recovery

Lovely day for running after minus 2 degrees overnight. Too cold for a decent 5km time trial. I did a session at lunch instead at Stromlo of 4 x 800m efforts, 200m recovery. Splits: 2:42.8,2:32.9,2:29.5,2:24.4 . A positive set for me. When I get all efforts around 2:24 I'll be ready for a great 5000m. Steve ran 4 x 500m efforts earlier in the morning, still freezing at minus 1 degree. Splits: 1:31,1:32,1:31,1:30. Another quick set, very consistent at that pace. I'll try again for a 5km time trial on Friday morning, predicted at +1 degree. An easy 10km today to warm down from the session. 17km for the day, 134km this week.

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.
