Secret Blog for Killing Track and Parkrun PBs

Light rain overnight and this morning making a fast workout difficult. The Ocean swell is less than the last few days, still huge waves though. I ran a solid 12km by the river and scheduled an 8km Race Pace Run in the afternoon. No Parkrun this Saturday, My Car is still getting serviced. I'll still run a full gas 5km to maintain my form.

Cool sunny morning for running from home. Big Surf persists all along the East Coast, unsuitable for any activity in a foaming Mess. In the afternoon 2 x One Mile Hill Efforts. My car should be done with It's Service on Friday...Fingers Crossed.

12km Morning run from home in cool conditions, warming quickly with rising of the sun. Many tradies have downed tools as they take advantage of of the big swells and surf brought by the Cyclone In Queensland. This afternoon a long recovery Run. No Fast Running Today, Recovery day freshening up for a dedicated Race Pace Session Tomorrow.

Short Pre-dawn Run from home before heading out on a long, hilly circuit I often use. On the moderate inclines short race pace Intervals with short recovery. Weather cold to cool, warming quickly with rising of the sun. Some overnight rain coming in from the sea around midnight and tracking inland. Just puddles remaining at dawn. In the afernoon a steady recovery run.

Another chilly Morning, too cold for a fast paced session, I split the day in two making the main session this afternoon of 11km in warmer conditions after a steady but hilly early session of 9km. I have my fingers crossed the car has been Serviced by Friday to enable me to get to Parkrun on Saturday. Some Race Pace sessions scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. Australian Masters Athletics Championships Entries have been steadily climbing as Entry Deadline nears. I already entered weeks ago, currently over 400 entries received including more than a few overseas participants.

Pre-dawn warm up, Munchkin the Border Collie woke me at 1am and she was keen to get out there. At first light we started the hilly 20km loop we often use. After completing the loop a short break followed by race Pace Intervals, on grass as wuch as we Could. In the afternoon a short recovery run. I'm hoping to get my car back from a service on Friday with hope of Parkrun on Saturday if all goes to plan.

Pre-Dawn Run from home as a warm up before starting a race Pace 11km Run along the river including Hill Sprints. Weather cool and sunny, great weather for running. In the afternoon a 9km Warm Down.
