Thursday training report. We did the inverse of last week's pyramid session; Strewth's blog summarises it best! Running were Alistair, Colin, David, me, Kathy, Ken, Margaret, Maria, Matthew, Mick, Rod, Ruth, Tim and Tony. Maria and I ran a solid 8.5k early; the rest belted around the track in the rapidly cooling conditions.
North Lyneham training: I might start up a new training session at North Lyneham on Fridays; after daylight saving begins, i.e. starting on Friday 2 November. These would be at 5:30pm and go for two months; in January we would probably move back to Aranda Saturday mornings instead. Are there any takers for North Lyneham? If there are enough people who would come regularly, it will happen.
We did try Tuesdays some years ago but Monday + Tuesday intervals was not a good idea. But when we tried Pinnacle on Fridays one year, after track Thursdays, that worked quite well. I think North Lyneham late Friday would work well if Monday’s session were short and quick, Friday’s session longer and slower, more of a recovery session from Thursday.
Training Group Dinner
There will be a group dinner on Monday 22 October, at 7pm, instead of training. The location will be the Two Sisters Lao Thai restaurant at Dickson. Please get in touch via email and tell me if wish to come to the dinner, I do need precise numbers. It is the day after the Brindabella Classic so we could all run that instead of training hard the next day.
A Game. Wogger is a great game, a little different from others, try it and you will soon get the hang of it; at each step there are only one or two places you can click to get something to happen, and if you click the “wrong” spot, you don’t have to undo or restart anything. It’s engrossing. When a game “chapter” finishes, and the chapters are quite short, it displays “End of …” and you can click on the next chapter link to proceed. The number of chapters seems endless; I am up to chapter 25.
Keep on stretching
Stretch 5 Quadriceps: Lie on your side with your knees against your chest and your head on the ground. Slide your bottom arm under the thigh of your bottom leg and place your hand around the outside of your foot. Grasp the shin of your upper leg with your upper hand. Move your upper leg back as far as you can.
