Training Log Archive: 007

Long easy run round Yarra with Ilks, all single track, some hills. Legs felt pretty happy but tired in the last 20mins esp. when I chucked in a steep hill at the end. Feeling good about running at the moment, and looking forward togetting into more long.
Bumped into JP for 10mins of the run, then came across a big tiger snake as I was leading us down a narrow bush track, lying over the path with its head up looking at me - luckily I spotted it 10m away and we turned back as he didn't look like moving. Never seen a tiger snake before, impressive stripes! shudder..

tired after run so had an afternoon power nap. think i got a bit dehydrated because i lot my appetite and felt queasy all arvo and had to work hard to make the most of all the great food at the MFR bbq with sore stomach.

A few hours surfing and swimming/body surfing at Torquay/Jan Juc... not really swimming, mostly fighting to get out to the waves and fighting on foot against strong sideways current. Really fun- want to do more surfing this summer, it was exhausting so Im counting it as training ;) Stood up on a few good waves but mosly once they were already coming to an end, needed to get out further to where the waves were bigger but it was such a battle (need to be a stronger swimmer and the long board made swimming out harder)

just did a few exercises for muscles not sore from yesterday, cancelled out lots!
got so stretch more and roll the itb.... and sleep more!! conked out when i got home to wake an hour later feeling terrible (hence running so late because it took a while to feel awake)

8x Royal Pk hills, the one running along trainline and facing the sunset. Legs felt fatiged from strenght yesterday so started bit conservatively though it still felt hard.
65,64,64,63,65,61,62,57 with 90+sec jog back
This can be my "1 minute hill" if i get a bit faster.

then did 4x 25sec grassy hill on 1min cycle focussing on fast legs and good form

Felt good! Legs pretty happy though a little tired. No niggles :)

15 warm up, recovery jogs, warm down

Very varied strenght and stuff in the park with Jas- some core, yoga and plyometrics... actually more gossiping than anything ;)
Was gonna go for a ride but felt too tired after crashing into a power nap as soon as i got home.

Music driven temp intervals on the run home from work (very flat to start but got some hills in the last two into Flemington and Royal Pk)
3 songs (15:20)
1 song (4:00)
2 songs ( 8:15) all with 1 song rec
Felt ok, legs a bit heavy probably from lack of stretching, and generally tired probably from lack of sleep.
