Sunday morning run of 21.1km through the arboretum on Forest Trails down to the river and back. Warm with full sun🌞 by the finish. Rain coming this afternoon. Monday short XC Intervals at Stromlo.
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.
All runs done from home this morning with all the stars out under clear skies. I ran 12km in the morning punctuated by watching Paris Roubaix cycling on TV It has been a few years since I was last in France watching the cycling in person and I miss it. TV will have to do.
This morning up early to another trip in to Glasshouse rocks fbraches for another set of Maximum Threshold Beach Intervals racing munchkin The border Collie. Tides were out this morning with full access to all the beaches and nobody about. Another great day to be out there as fast as we liked I am very motivated for some fast running again and will pencil in a rough program in coming days.
