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.

Six repeats up the hill! I've never done this training.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the training.

I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteTo Mr. Ewen: you get frightened. Be careful.
ReplyDeleteGiorgio, with all this new training she's doing, I'm very frightened Strewth will beat me!
ReplyDeleteShe'd beat you with a frying pan, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteWell, we'll see the winner between you. Have a nice training.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile 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.
