5000m Time Trial 16:40 : Parkrun Returns : World Masters Athletics Championships 2022 Tampere, Finland Schedule

With a deluge expected to continue in coming days (and a light session this morning) I got out again in the afternoon for a 5000m time trial in 16:40. Splits(500m):1:41,1:35,1:38,1:34,1:39,1:41,1:40,1:43,1:45,1:40. I was too quick through 2km, suffered next 3km. Having done that run today, no racing on Thursday evening, it will most likely be a washout anyway. Another reason for the time trial was news Parkrun is back on Saturday if it is not also a washout. If that wasn't enough good news the World Masters Athletics Championships Schedule has been released. My schedule would be 30th June Cross country ; 2nd July 5000m track ; 5th July 1500m heat ; 7th July 1500m final ; and if I am not done 8th July 10km road. That schedule would allow me to get back to Paris in time to see some of Tour de France cycling.

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.
