Beach Recovery Run 10km ; Port Jackson Shark ; Structured Training

Early morning 10km run at Surf Beach. With a jump I can link the two ends of the beach together since the outflow to the ocean from the Golf Course has largely dried up. Sad to see a Port Jackson Shark lying on the beach recently caught and still alive. This mostly harmless egg laying shark I have swum with inside the Shark net at Bar Beach. I have no idea what the fisherman did with the shark, it was gone by the time I finished the run. This week another 131km in the legs. While I still have to keep this training volume high until March, structured training will resume this week. Sessions will vary but mostly follow a similar structure which is: Short Intervals, short time trial, long time trial, race (or Parkrun), all in the same week. If my regular Parkrun course is not under water this week I can start building up to race form again. If the sessions go well form comes back quickly.

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.
