Since KOTM on the 27th, I've got another year older and put in another couple of 110km weeks. Definite training highlight was the 14km tempo run at 3:36min/km and last Thursday and the 30.6km (@4:22) run on the pipeline in the hills to my birthday breakfast at Glen Forrest. Have felt a little tired in the days since July 1 - mostly because I've done a few races in June, and also because of the basket of choccies and other bad stuff that I've consumed.
After a good 26km (@ 4:20 HR150 ) in the hills ( Mundaring-MtHelena Chidlow and return) Saturday morning I turned out for the Wally Cairns Cross Country in King's Park on a cool and wet Sunday morning. It's a good strength run – it isn’t fast because it’s on the soft sand trails of KP. Bucketed with rain as well which turned the sand to marshmallow. Probably 300m of grass, 300m of paving and the rest on sand. Glutes and quads know they’ve been thru the grinder thats for sure…
Nice thing about this one is that you go past the finish on each 5k lap so you can decide when you've had enough. Foolishly, I did all 3. Finished 4th behind perpetual winner Scott Tamblin and Todd Ingraham.
Easy week now to prep for Lake Joondalup 10k.
