Hi TheEd - hope your Israel trip goes well.
I did the 5k off road race today. It was a tough course with 4k of loose top path and last 1k on grass sports field. The first half contained a long climb of 750M including a very steep bit of about 100M.
I started of with the leaders, but one young guy got away from us on the hill. I got into 2nd on the downhill, but got passed on the flat after. I tried to close the gap, but it stayed at 10m to the end and I settled for 3rd.
Pleased with this as it was a good race and I aimed for top 3.
The time for the record was 18:36 - but it means little on such a hard course.
Next week;
mon - easy 45
tue - fartlek
wed - rest
thu - 10000m track race
fri - rest or easy 30
sat - easy 90
sun - easy 60
