Drills and Hills

It was a stunning day in Canberra today. The sun shone brightly all day and it was actually was quite hot. I decided to do some drills which Ewen had suggested to me and some short hill sprints. I wasn't too concerned about the time as I wanted to give those drills a go after a short run. I chose the North Lyneham oval for the drills and this was a bit of a mistake as the grass was long and the ground uneven. However, I spent a short time looking crazy with skipping and high knees, butt kicks, strides etc before running off to find a hill and sprint six repeats up the hill jogging back between each repeat. After this I ran an undulating course along North Lyneham ridge before returning home.
Total distance: 9km
Calories burned: 512

    Good luck with the training.

  2. To Mr. Ewen: you get frightened. Be careful.

  3. Giorgio, with all this new training she's doing, I'm very frightened Strewth will beat me!

  4. She'd beat you with a frying pan, that's for sure.

  5. Well, we'll see the winner between you. Have a nice training.

    Meanwhile I'm going to run the 2009Civitavecchia's half Marathon next Sunday. Fortunately, if I well remember, there aren't hard up hill during the path. My friend Stefano will probably run the race.

    Regards
