Training Log Archive: 007

Long HARD run with Lachlan, Sus, John and Simon.
Ran from valley road, up a long way, around then down...First 40 mins was up.
Had to push really quite hard to keep up, especially on the hills.
Legs felt a bit useless and tired.. i think i was a bit dehydrated from yesterday, but coped all right.
Legs ached a bit at the finish but no soreness.
About 16 km, 700 climb??

Not really training... but i spent 8 hours trudging around para wirra checking control sites, and it was 37 degrees.
Tried to do it map memory, and was going to run but it was way too hot...
Got home and sanded wood for 2 hours so a full body workout today.

yay, a rest day!! nice sleep in, then some much needed stretches.

Quite cruisy morning run, (wildflower loop- nice tracks and moderately hilly) Legs felt fine but head was a bit asleep and got a headache from the cold air..
Fogave my alarmclock for waking me cos it ended up being such a lovely morning!!

Ran up morialta and back on moores rd.
Ran over to morialta, moderate pace.
Included 11x 1 min hard 20 sec easy, on the slightly up track to first falls. Legs didnt feel bad going faster.
Then 20 mins solid uphill (one bit is so steep it is impossible to take steps over 20 cm...)
Legs felt bit heavy on the ridge but got a bit faster when it went down.
Finishd tired but a good run.

Started off with the 1500
This was a PB by 5 seconds off 2 weeks ago.
Started a bit slow but felt good pushing the last bit.
Laps 1:26 1:33 1:28 1:02

Ran this almost an hour after the 1500, so i wasnt feeling to tired.
Another PB, by 16 seconds from 2 weeks ago!! I cant keep getting pbs for ever..Was quite chuffed with how good i felt..my legs werent to heavy from lastnight and i was running with lap times for 11:45 which felt possible.Probably managed to puish harder than i have in the past.
laps 1:32 1:36 1:36 1:34 1:35 1:36 2:14(last 600m)

Warm up and down etc. Susanne came out too so we warmed down for a bit longer which was good.

Ran with the adelaide harriers for the first time in a while.. wasnt too scary!!
Did 2 sets of 400m with 1 min recovery, and 5 mins between sets.
I generally got 50-55 sec rec as the faster guys were obviously ahead in time and we all set off togehter. By the last few i need a little longer to recover- hr generally went down to 140-150 but more like160-170 for the last two.
times and max hr:
1:21(169) 1:17(173) 1:18(179) 1:17(178)
1:18(179) 1:18(176) 1:22(178) 1:21(180)
Legs felt ok but a little heavy at the end, and a bit tired from the warm up??

C • That's an impressive set of 40... 2

Started with 29 min warm up, at a comfortable but not slow pace. Then some run thrus etc
13 min warm down..legs felt ok at this slower pace.

8x 50 sec easy hills (75%) with 1:40 rec jog.
warm up and down from home.
Was feeling really tired and not really 100%(bit of a termperature) but ran anyway and made it a bit shorter and promised myself 10hrs sleep...
