Local Running 3km warm up ; 2 x One Mile Hill Efforts ; Warm Down

Another night of minimal sleep watching Tour de France, one of the best stages yet with an unepected opening flurry With Vander Der Poel and fellow team mate attacking from the start and building a big lead which they carried well into the race while fighting the expected cross winds. Unfortumately Joao Almeida abandoned early after his crash yesterday. Next stage another big day, lumpy with lots of climbing and a finish at Le Mont-Dore Puy de Sancy, topping out at 1324m asl. I was last in Le Mont-Dore in 2011 stopping only for a pizza and staying overnight in the municipal Camping.It was very cold.
It should be gripping entertainment and on Bastille Day.

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.
