Training at Parliament House for the next few weeks:
Tuesdays = interval training on the flat
Thursdays = interval training on the hills
Last night at Parliament House the hilly intervals were 20 x 100m on hill west#3 - the first five on 90 seconds, the next ten on 80 seconds, the last five back on 90 seconds. No other breaks. Completing the full training session were Abi, Andrew S, Andrew T (new), Colin, Craig, Eliza, myself, Jen, Joel, Sarah, Warrick and Yelena. Running eight of them and enjoying a longer break between was Tony; welcome back! He is now 74 years old and has just completed the 10k Canberra Fun Run in 51:38 on little distance training. Just running the warm-up but calling it a day being careful about injury was Susan. I was happy to complete my first full training session since my own injury, running 7k before the hills and completing 15k in all. I will try and run four days each week for a while yet; plus two one hour gym sessions, one one hour swim session, and daily rehabilitative exercises.
Next year's Canberra Marathon
