Steve 2000m Time Trial 6:47 : Stromlo XC Intervals 5 x 500m, 500m recovery

Thursday morning time trial for Steve of 2000m in 6:47. Splits(500m):1:41,1:43,1:42,1:39. Another solid time trial from Steve who is having one of his best base training blocks I can recall. I ran at Stromlo XC circuits a set of 5 x 500m efforts, 500m recovery. Splits:1:35,1:30,1:27,1:26,1:23. The grass at Stromlo is still recovering from a cut and soil top dress. Next set for Steve and myself will be a 5000m time trial. Steve expected to run on Saturday, myself Friday. My morning walks with Milli the Border Collie have had the added bonus of finding a Where's Wally which appeared en mass a month ago. Sadly the rain is taking it's toll on the curious tree ornaments. Weekend rain and poachers may see their demise.

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.
