Run 16 - Fast at the Lake

Met up with some Ausrun crew at Lillydale Lake. They had planned a speed session so I thought I’d join in. Running a bit late I had to try and find them on the warm-up lap, lucky we both got our clockwise / anti clockwise mixed up or I would have been running a while before I found them…. My family were playing in the newly refurbish playground while I ran.

 

One lap warm-up, then back and forth across the levy wall for the fast(er) stuff. This was the first time some of them had run a session like this, so we took it nice and easy to begin, everyone warmed up to the task and by the end there was some hard work done. I found it really encouraging trying to support one of our runners to the finish of the last repetition, but not sure if I helped or just plain annoyed…..

 

While the crew grabbed a drink I decided to do a couple of laps of the Hospital Hill, it was a good hard work-out, and found the hill is not so comfortable when trying to push up it rather than just cruise. Have to remember about 3.45 for a loop for future attempts. Then back to the lake for a final warm down easy 2.5k.

 

An enjoyable session with a good mixture of easy, fast, hills etc.

 

Next run – Friday am in the CBD. 7am sharp outside Niketown if anyone is interested.
