Local cross country run at opossum bay. It has been raining for the past 2 days and didnt stop today. The course was on old overgrown 4wheel drive tracks. One lap of the course had about 500m on the beach, 2 long hills and 2 very steep hills. we had to do 2 laps for the 10k.
I was really happy with my time, especially for the conditions. Had a bit of fun chacing down tim sloan (think thats who it was) on the last lap and just getting past him in a sprint to the line.

It was raining alot during this run. Also got dark and a heavy fog came down just as i was getting home. Lucky i wasnt running any longer because visability was down to 30meters or so. Casual run, lots of uphills. Surged to race a bus over 2 small hills. I was close to beating it cause it had to stop for passangers but in the end it just got away from me... devo

For the first time in ages i did a proper warm up and warm down for a race.

I didnt have much time to fit in a session today. Wanted to do something a bit more powerful, the idea of a steady run in this rain didnt excite me today. Went to a long steep hill near my house to do hills. Recovery was just the run down to the next start point.
Divided the hill into 4 lengths :Long (2min) middle (1min) Short (30s) very short 10(s)

Did 4 x middle-long-short. the short was the hardest of all cause i only had 30s recovery (the run down) after doing the long.

Finished with 10 x very short hills which only took about 3 min.

Good session, enjoyed doing hills again for the first time in ages

Not happy about not training today, work just got on top of me. Sadly i can see this happening again thursday

Just a casual run when i got home. It was fair dark when i got out and it was also pretty cold. I enjoyed this run, just a cruise with some long steady hills plus some short hills
