Parkrun Recovery Day Runs 20km ; Parkrun Race Data

Morning 20km run from home, all easy running. It's going to be a very hot day and good to get the running done Early. I had my first look at the Parkrun Garmin Data from yesterday, no Surprises. I spent over 17 minutes in Zone 1, lost most of my time at the only dead turn on the course and my final and quickest split of the run 3:07km and had something in reserve. I found the 98% humidity a challenge despite shaving legs and cutting hair on Friday. Race splits: 250 metres (4:21/km,3:41/km,3:58/km,3:48/km,3:33/km,3:43/km,3:47/km,3:42/km,3:36/km,3:59/km,3:44/km,3:40/km,3:54/km,3:58/km,4:00/km,3:54/km,3:47/km,3:48/km,3:54/km,3:38/km,3:07/km).

Long Hilly Run 20km ; 4 x 100m, 3 x 200m, 3 x 300m strides

This morning out for a long, hilly 20km in 84 minutes. Plenty of others out there getting the job done before the heat of the day. Spotted Ewen out there at one point putting in a surge I could barely match. In the afternoon still hot. I ran 5km including 4 x 100m (19,17,15,14), 3 x 200m (32,31,31) and 3 x 300m (51,48,48) strides. Legs felt good once they got going. All up 25km for the day, 122km last 7 days. Monday morning a long run including 5 x 100m strides (18,16,15,14,14) and a 600m effort at 3:10/km. On New Years Day 5km Parkrun events at 730am Gungahlin and 930am Tuggeranong. I'll run the first flat out. If I am able to I'd like to break the current M55 record on the Tuggeranong course. It's held by Simon Claringbold with 4 identical times of 17:26. I'm not sure I can on my current form, especially as a second run for the day. If I can't I'll try later in the year when I am fresh and it's a little cooler.

Training Update : Retro : Training in Paris for World Masters Athletics Championships, Malaga Spain, 2018

Athletics has begun in France for the Olympics. This week I went over my training done In Paris as final preparation for the World Masters Athletics Championships which was held in Malaga, Spain in September 2018. I was based in Puteaux for almost a month, a short walk from the current venue for Olympic swimming. My long runs were done in Bois de Boulogne. Speed training was done on the Athletics track in Puteaux. I ran three Parkruns at Parkrun du Bois de Boulogne. I was in great shape before I left Australia. All I needed was adaption to the climate and to get to the start line in Malaga uninjured (or so I thought). In hindsight I didn't cope well in the Spanish climate. While I could have done more on race day with ice packs on the neck my eventual race results were solid. I found the heat and humidity stifling. I suffered big time in the races. Track sessions were mostly short Intervals and strides with minimal injury risk building towards race pace. Diary Extracts and snaps Be...
