Update X 2


Got out in the morning on Wednesday for 10 x 100m on, 100m off. Warmed up for 4km and alternated the quick 1s between the grass and the track. 4km cool down and a nice run. Then in the arvo jumped on the bike with Katie for 40km. Ended up rolling along real quick in the end so great double workout for the day.

Thursday was just 10km with the boys plus 5 x 60m strides. Noticed middle toe had been pretty sore for the last couple of day so hit up the physio Friday morning who said it wasn't too bad and to just maybe cut down the load a bit. Then Friday night had a bit of a push on the top of the foot and it was real tender. Had already committed for Sandown relays so couldn't pull the pin on the team so decided to just race it then hop on the bike for a few days afterwards.

Got out for a ride on Friday, just 16km nothing amazing.

Just got home from the relays. Pretty windy. Ended up running really well, made sure I felt good at halfway and it worked well in the end. Ran third leg after Daniel Hamilton. Overtook people the whole way round which always helps the rhythm. Through 1 lap in 10:33, realised that was a touch slow then started to really put in. Back straight really got moving before hurting really bad on the final km, managed to keep it honest though and ran 21:00 for the 6.2km. 1 second would've helped the ego but we can blame the wind. I think 12 seconds faster than last year so I'm happy especially with the foot issue on the mind. 

Jogged a lap for cooldown to make it 11.8 for the day. So keen for this 10k next weekend, but I gotta be real careful here. I'll jump on the bike for a couple of days and see how we go. If I'm lucky I'll be doing a hard session on Wednesday just to make sure I'm GG before a couple of easy days and racing on the Sunday.
