Sutherland2Surf Beach Recovery Run and Race Analysis

Lunch time run on the beach with Milli the Border Collie. Slow pace to begin, no sore spots from the race, ok to continue full training. Next race is City2Surf 14km, less than a month away. Some analysis from my race splits: I had over 5km running at 3:20/km or better. The three climbs late in the race were where I lost most time and rhythm when I was on my limit. The first female was much better at flow over the entire course. It's hard to replicate in training those long hills around 1500m in length at race pace. I have run some efforts back up from the Glasshouse beach at that distance solid but not at race pace. I'll get a few long, fast hill climbs before City2Surf.

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.
