EMR regional athletics

Very slow and tactical for the first 2.1km of the 3000m and then a few of the front pack absolutely sprinted off.

Not a very quick time but had a good finishing kick and came away with 5th out of 17 so not too bad and a good tune up before the half on Sunday.

Amazing job to Izzy on a 2nd place finish in the 3000m and good luck to the rest of the squad for your events later in the day!

Absolutely brutal!

50 + km/h wind to the point that the finish chute blew over and there were literal waves on the lake.

Definitely not the race I wanted but I pushed as hard as I could and managed to get a very small pb which is nice.

Amazing job to everyone who raced today in such horrible conditions! Big shoutout in particular to @finn_power1 for evening the score after div aths and running an amazing race given the wind!

One of the best sessions I’ve run to date.

Was not expecting that at all after a pretty busy day and feeling pretty rubbish on my last few runs but if I can replicate anything close to that on race day at Run Prix I’m in for a massive PB.

Thanks so much to @finn_power1 for doing some pacing, makes those long reps so much more manageable when they’re broken up!

Very fun to have a crack at a few of the shorter events today!

I ran in the 3km, and 1500m (in which I ran 9:47 for 1st place and 4:43 for 2nd place). Both races were quite slow and tactical for the majority so there’s a lot more time in the tank for regionals in a couple of months.

The project Wilson squad smashed it as well with regionals qualifications in over 10 events!

Amazing job to everyone who got out there and participated!

Well, that was quite an experience.

Possibly the worst conditions I will ever run in. Mud was over a foot deep in some places which made it completely impossible to get traction on the ground, but it was a very cool race to be a part of.

Amazing job to everyone who got out there and braved the elements!

Big shout out to the rest of the @project_wilson squad as well, you all ran incredibly!

I’ve got a track race coming up next week, and from there, only a few more specific sessions before the goal race of the run prix 10km, which will hopefully involve a lot less mud.

Big half-specific session this morning.

I wasn’t expecting much today considering I’ve been sick twice in the past month and haven’t gotten to do much half specific work but it ended up being one of the best sessions I’ve ever run.

The session was:

3km warmup

3 x 4km at half effort off a 1km float (14:25, 4:13, 14:28, 4:18, 14:28)

1km hard at the end in 3:14

Total = 15km at 3:40 pace and 164 bpm

5km cool-down

Massive confidence boost going into @runmelbourne in around 10 days. Thanks heaps to @finn_power1 for jumping in for parts of the reps and getting some footage, having company made it a lot easier!

Big thanks also to @precisionfandh as always for the support with fuelling which is especially key on longer efforts like today

It’s been a while since I’ve posted running content! To be honest I’ve been injured and sick for the best part of a month but I’m glad to say I’m finally getting back into things.

The session was:

-4km warmup.

-600, 500, 400 at 5k effort off 90 (converted from lane 2 in 1:58, 1:36, 1:14).

-10 x 200m (first 4 off a 90 cycle, next 4 off a 75 cycle, last 2 off a 60 cycle) times converted from lane 2: 34, 34, 33, 34, 34, 34, 34, 33, 34, 34.

-2km cool-down

2:59 pace average for the session, average heart rate of 154.

Nothing too special but a good place to be starting from and such a good feeling to be running pain free again.

Thanks heaps as always to @precisionfandh for the support with fuelling!

Division XC

I’ve been struggling with some injuries over the last couple of weeks so very nice to be able to run pain free again.

Congrats to everyone who ran today!

Just over three weeks until UTA where, fingers crossed, I’ll be back to 100%.

Biggest ever week of training in the books  156km and 14 hours of running

Capped it off with a long run at Mt Donna Buang this morning which consisted of two full loops. Managed to come away with the course record for the full loop and more importantly kept it consistent between loop 1 and 2.

Just 6 weeks to go until UTA, and 2 weeks until the Maroondah Dam 50km. I’m feeling strong, building well, and excited to keep stacking the next few weeks before the taper begins.

Beautiful long run in the Dandenongs this morning. There are few things better than running above the clouds in the forest with the sun rising.

128km this week so almost back to full training load with UTA 8 weeks out.

Huge thanks to @precisionfandh for the support with my nutrition! Having good fuel on board is essential, especially for these longer efforts.
