but as you all know i’m crap in the heat!

Monday Evening - 8pm - Very Warm
Street Run/Jog
Another struggle in the heat - 3kms 18:40

what is the thousand steps? :confused:

It’s a track up at the National Park in Upper Ferntree Gully. Apparently it is somewhat like the Kokoda Track but around 1000 steps in distance. It is quite steep in places and very tough. The fastest guy did it in 13:50 and me almost twice as long! To do it well requires doing it quite often as it needs fairly specific training for the legs.

Nothing since Wednesday until -

Monday Evening - 6pm - Cool/Mild
5kms around local streets - 34:26
A long time since i’ve tried running
that far so i just wanted to make
sure i finished it.

Tuesday Evening - 6.30pm - Mild to Warm
5km run around local streets - 31:37
Same course as yesterday but about 3mins
quicker and it was warmer - pretty pleased
with that.

Wednesday Evening - 7pm - Very Warm
Knox Masters
Warmup 400m slow jogging followed by
3 sets of high knees and bum kicks
2 x 30m strides
2 x 20m practice starts

120m Hcp - Ran about 15.6 and finished
well back (felt sluggish and uncomfortable
which is understandable given my recent
training and the very warm night.)

5km on the bike track - 29:57 which is
way better than i expected - very pleased

you need to get some kind of mobile cool room, such as an ice-truck…
