Training Log Archive: Golfer

Roadies handicap race at Willans Hill. Wasn't intending to go too hard today as carrying a few niggles but felt good early on so just kept going. As usual, the hills knocked me around but still managed my fastest time for the month.

Afternoon run, usual Lake run via Boat Club and home via Lansdowne Ave. A few spots of rain as I went past the Golf Club but then stopped. After 10 minute warm up, tried a few faster surges today, about 1.5 minutes at faster pace, then 4-5 minutes recovery. Did 4 sets then 10 minute at normal training pace to home. Hammy started to complain a bit during the 3rd set.

Afternoon ride. Had planned my usual lap and 3/4 of Lake Albert but when I got to the far side of the lake the first time, the rain became quite heavy so I piked it and headed back. Very cold and wet by the time I got home. Only plus was pushing really hard to get out of the rain! GPS logger route was all over the place: showed me going through houses, across water and the golf course. Part was due to some tree cover but not sure about some of the other spots: maybe just the heavy cloud?

Latish afternoon dash around the Lake with Briohny. Nice pace but still able to chat in the gathering gloom.

Long run out to and over Plumpton Hill, a bit later in the day than planned, but couldn't face running in the cold, damp fog again at 7:30am so waited until 11:00am when it finally was starting to lift. Had intended to go a bit further but found the creek at the southern end of the hill was flooded, completely blocking the track so turned around and came back.

Pretty happy with the run, achilles only annoying on the uphill sections. Probably try and do something similar next weekend.
