Tonight there was a record number of speedygeese for a public holiday both at the early session at 4.30pm and the main session at 5.30pm. Today was Canberra Day and there were a lot of tourists in the PH grounds. There were nine of us at the early session including Mr B as he didn't have squash tonight. It was also Liz' first visit and it was great to have her there. Our warm-up session was at a faster pace than usual with Liz, speedycoach, Jen, Craig and Andy leading the way. Yelena, Ewen and I ran behind and we ran to Kingston for 4km where we turned and ran back to Parliament House to make a total of 8km.
Here we did some necessary stretching before the main session.
Next it was another warm-up loop of PH before running to the western side and running 12 x 40 secs sprints in two different spots with 40 secs recovery. I didn't push myself as my hamstring was very niggly tonight and this is supposed to be an easy week with the half marathon on Sunday.
We finished with a warm-down loop and more stretching.
Total distance: 15km
Found your blog Strewth! Hope you don't mind if I drop in from time to time. Nurse that hamstring.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the bit about being ambushed near the Aboriginal Embassy!
ReplyDeleteIt was good to have the new starters, including Liz - we didn't see much of her - she was too fast!
Congrats on winning the spiral aeries, for this season.
ReplyDeleteWell done on your Weston Creek 1/2 marathon - more good prep for the marathon in May. Hope you have recovered well.
ReplyDeleteLucky you to run in a running group, the poor Black Knight is always alone (maybe is he too scary?).
