Training Update : Australian Masters Athletics Championships 2024

My final local Parkrun on Saturday in this 24 week base building block. It took a while to get back into good running form again. I'll find out in a month whether having a four month break away from racing since July was good or bad. The last 6 months weekly training volume was September 111km, October 127km, November 120km, December 126km, January 123km, February 124km. I'll be in Tasmania in a week when I commence my final direct preparation for the AMA Championships followed by a 10 day taper commencing on 19th March. I'm confident I can make some good progress before the Championships commence. The last AMA Championships held in Hobart were almost exactly a decade ago. The venues for this year are basically the same. Some Images from back then.

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.
