Tuesday, December 13, 2005 Its the EYE OF THE TIGER, the thrill of the fight....
Tuesday 13/12/05 Ran 4x500m reps 1.42/1.46/1.47/1.50 @ ArenA. HR's 159/168/180/192. A bit hard to be sure on heart rates cos my watch light doesnt stay on for 10 seconds. Didnt start til after 2000hrs (8pm)...Pretty happy with that...Just felt like doing a speed session tonight, enjoyed the higher intensity attacking, although I wasn't enjoying struggling to breathe but its all part of the reps experience to paraphrase some pollie...Grass track, and left knee seeemed ok with it...iced afterwards anyway cos it is still a little proppy....Pretty happy with this session even though its not a P.B... Too tired and short on time to do much more. Have only slept 3.5 hours for each of the last 2 nights. (7 hrs total) Rising up to the challenge of our rivals.....eeeeyyyyyyyyyyyeee offff the tigerrrrrrrr posted by trailblazer777 | 12/13/2005 11:21:35 PM | 0 comments links to this post

Recovery run (and left knee sorenesss again...)
Monday 12/12/05 Ran 5.5km in just a tick under 35minutes. A night run again. Started at about 2100hrs(9pm). A recovery ride after cycling more than 60km yesterday. God held the rain off as well which was a nice and pleasant blessing...Enjoyed the run, and I think it probably was also good in that it helped alleviate a minor headache to some degree which I had battled with through much of the day... Injury report; my left knee flared up sore again probably a bit worse than last Tuesday 6/12/05 after my 11km run there. Again I am icing it (actually have a cold pack on my knee as I type now....) mainly as a precautionary measure...but the last thing I need is my knee blowing up on me or making six-inch painful on Sunday....I'm quietly confident that it will be ok for Sunday, God willing...however I'd say that I about a 90/10 chance of starting at six inch now...I.e. there is a 90% chance I will run 6-inch, whereas before this knee flare-up there was a 100% chance of me doing it...No, should be right but will be watching it closely...Its been 5 years since I tore the ACL and if it gets really bad on me I will stop...would prefer the torn ligament does not become a ruptured ligament....... Anyhow enough doom and gloom, to paraphrase scaterd few; "now lets get serious about this"...A successful six-inch campaign that is....A good recovery run...did the job very nicely... posted by trailblazer777 | 12/13/2005 12:56:41 AM | 1 comments links to this post

A stroll in the Stirlings

Sunday 4/12/05 Went for a 30minute bushwalk with KL enjoying the beauty of the Stirling Ranges...

Bluff Knoll IV: a very!!!!!!! special walk.
Saturday 3/12/05 Climbed/bushwalked up the 1073m Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Ranges with KL. Took us 81 minutes 31 to make it from the carpark to the summit on the ascent.
We rested awhile and enjoyed the beautiful panoramic views... See Bluff Knoll II photo page....then one of the biggest moments in my 3 decades or so of life so far....felt about as nervous as a National Championships race...Changed into jacket, shirt and tie, and "popped the question" UTG! Kl said yes,she is now officially my fiancee and we will hopefully live happily everafter...
Then we hotfooted it down the mountain in 64minutes 35, which was absolutely "warp 9 captain"/terminal velocity etc etc for my poor torn ACL in knee...Total time of ascent+descent; 2 hours 27 minutes of bushwalking.
It was necessary to make a speedy descent as we left the summit at 1900hrs (7pm WST), and similiar to one of my Toolbrunup climbs, we were racing the night darkness on the way down...I did have a torch, but didn't have to use it, as the Bluff Knoll path is very well maintained, and there was enough residual sunlight (leftover from the sunset) still wafting around the western peaks of the Stirling Ranges near Albany, for us to just make out the steep track we were traversing down. By the time we made it to the carpark it was after 2000 (8pm), no sunlight at all, and dark enough to make out the "saucepan" pattern of stars in the sky. Pretty romantic stuff....a very special day and night, and weekend for me and KL...Could quite possibly be one of the top 10 most special times in a lifetime I think for us both...

Symbiotic Lighthouse
Friday 2/12/05 8.30pm; Ran for 35 minutes 35 relaxed pace. A night run from Hillarys Boat Harbour. While the girlfriend was busy with a work dinner, I took the opportunity to grab a run session. Really enjoyed my run which wen out past the WA fisheries office, along the North Groyne? past Spinnakers Cafe which I had never come across before, all the way to a lighthouse, which I ran up the steps to the viewing platform. Exploring part done I got off the road surface and ran on some softer terrain, the grassy slopes of Whitfords Nodes park where I had my 30th Birthday last year. Scared about 20 rabbits or so, it was such a funny sight seeing all these rabbits scattering helter skelter in front of me as I ran through the park. the ran back past Portofinos continued up past Sorrento Beach a bit then back to my car near Portofinos. nothing incredible but a very enjoyable run, it felt soooo good to be out there and I feel strong. Feel like I am moving well when I am running....

Underoath reinventing your exit etc...
Have not done anything not a single session in the first 3 days of this week, been too busy recovering from Recon Run #2, and visit to Ironman at Busselton, plus celebrating 7 months with KL...and dealing with various other work stuff...Its been a very big week so far and promises to continue to be extremely busy just one more day of work left for this week. TGIF!...Some interesting developments to do with 6 inch this week too... Hope to dust off the runners or jump on Dad's mountainbike soooooon!....

Recon Run #2

Sunday 27/11/05-Ran about 28km altogether, about 2 hours 54...Time and distance very! approximate....Very messy and a bit of disaster initially as I spent the first 90 minutes running and walking on the Munda Biddi and Scarp Rd, trying to find Daves campsite, visiting his campsite, and then getting some of my gear back to the car (It started off being very cold and a big windchill factor, but by 0600 it was too hot to wear tracksuit pants and a jacket.) Then Dave and I set off from Whittakers following the MundaBiddi for about 7-8km and 40minutes at the turn, and finished back at Whittakers in 1 hour 24 minutes after about 14km.... posted by trailblazer777 | 23:22 | 0 comments links to this post

Four sub 4's in the twilight

21/11/05-Monday Ran 4x1km reps 3.53/3.57/3.54/3.58. Heart Rates at end of each one (using my usual 10 second carotid pulse routine); were 171/186/186/189. 5 minute rests. Average time 3.55.87 Total time for 4km; 15.43. My second best effort ever! for this particular session.
Started after 1900 so it was getting dark, and had to use the light on my watch to see my splits which were mostly very even (held back a lot on the first rep) with 500m splits all in the 1.55-2.02 range. Struggling a bit on the last one, so put the pedal utterly to the metal in the last 200m finishing my last 200m in 34 seconds, and my last 100m in about 15 seconds.
Was NOT feeling like doing this session for a lot of reasons, but it was actually a great way to release some of the frustrations of the day...so yeah I took out my frustrations on the poor unsuspecting reps...well something like that. Didn't have time to do a longer session really, and I felt I needed a speed session, so this was a good option, even though its probably one of the easier reps setups I have done...
Very happy with what I was able to do tonight! Good start to this week... posted by trailblazer777 | 22:16

MY VENTURE INTO THE WORLD OF BLOGGER... ...

This week I have now decided to use Blogger after being influenced by Plu and 2P at Cool Running, and I have to say its a whole lot quicker/easier to make regular posts given how busy I am now, plus its a faster loading page, but I still like my geocities one better so this will still be the main blog for me, But I now will be using my blogger version at http://runmara2005blog.blogspot.com/ for my posts in the first instance, and then transferring (with more detail and photos) to my main blog here each week or each fortnight depending on how busy I am...Here goes with the blogger experiment;

To Hillarys and back with or without the Southerly. 20/11/05-Sunday Cycled 36km on the mountainbike in 1hr 44minutes From Joondalup area to Hillarys Boat Harbour and back. Pushing into some tough southerly winds most of the the way in and absolutely flying! along at about 50-60km/h? on some of the way back, I splitted 54.22/49.46.
Rode the black repco bike I gave my Dad again....seems I am riding alot more than he is at present. Back was a bit sore I think from working hard up hills into the strong southerly headwind on the way in. The gears on the repco are a bit tricky so takes a lot of concentration to ride this bike well especially with the headwind/tailwind to adjust to, but the advantage is that this bike has large wheels, which means top gear has a pretty good top speed much better than my other bike I think. Will have to fit a speedo to the repco as well so I cam see what sort of top speeds I am hitting on this thing, cos it feels like "breakneck speed". Saw lots of Kitesurfers as I rode along the sunset coast cyclepaths taking advantage of the strong southerlys. This bike has a good bell which was very useful as i threaded my way through pedestrians and slow cyclists...trying not to run over anyone on the narrow cyclepaths.
Saw a dead tiger snake on Lakeside drive back in Joondalup. Pretty happy with that 36km ride, but I need to be doing something like this every second day I think from here on, plus start crankin out some 50km-100km stuff once a week I reckon in the late charge to 6-inch which is only a few weeks away now. posted by trailblazer777 | 13:17 | 0 comments

Tennis and 4km run with my sweetheart 19/11/05-Saturday AM; Did 300 Ab crunches while watching the cricket on TV. PM; A Quick hit of tennis at Arena Joondalup and a 4km run (partly on my Arena 2km course) with my sweetheart KL....About 57 minutes in total, with a short 15 minute break in between. Pretty low intensity for me, but a lot of fun, and KL was starting to hit a few good shots in the tennis...I think she has a killer forehand waiting to be unleashed. posted by trailblazer777 | 09:35 | 1 comments

Thursday, November 17, 2005 8km @ Arena 17/11/05-Thursday; Ran 8km in 40min 40 HR 180 by end on hilly! 2km course, with some very gusty southerlys Splits were; 9.17/10.26/10.51 &10.06 Tough to get out there and felt a little death incarnate afterwards, but very glad I made it tonight, feel so much better now...Onward... posted by trailblazer777 | 22:54 | 0

momentum...trying to build some... ...

15/11/05-Tuesday Ran 5.5km Good solid run with some faster surges thrown in. A night run (Did not start until 8.30pm), was reasonably warm/hot during day, and then I got sidetracked onto the computer. Would have run further but I only had about 30minutes to play with, had to get back home...Want some much better sessions this week, but its a start. Just got to make sure I build on it this week, and make the most of the fact that this a pay week, maybe get mountainbike fixed this time....

Easing back into the Saddle......

7/11/05-Monday I was still a bit disorientated by Cobbler? venom, but got Tetanus shot from Doctor, and had him check the wound to make sure none of the barb was still in the wound. By evening felt ok....
8/11/05-Tuesday did 250 Ab (abdominal) Crunches, meant to train but didn't get to it.
9/11/05-Wednesday; Ran a solid 12km in 71 minutes (just under 6 minutes per km), nothing incredible, but an important one to get on the board, plus it proved my foot was fully good to go and recovered from the Cobbler incident on Sunday. Had a pretty special night with KL afterwards.
10/11/05-Thursday; Cycled 18km in 51 minutes again on my Dad's black Repco (the mountainbike I got him), since my normal bike still needs repairs. Its a faster bike, almost (or perhaps is) a hybrid, has very big wheels. My 11km split was a few minutes quicker than what I rode 11km in on Tuesday last week, but nowhere near flat out, just trying to get the system functioning well again after a tough day at work. I think it did the job.
11/11/05-Friday Did 350 Ab crunches after a work, felt very motivated especially once I cranked up the DemonHunter...Been getting into some POD (Fundamental Elements of Southtown) in the last few days, enjoying songs like Freestyler, Rock the Party, Southtown,bullet the blue sky, Set your eyes to Zion and Tribal Warrior...pretty aggressive hardcoreish/rapcoreish stuff (think Korn) which suits my mood, and the sort of mood I want this week....A bit short on time with a work get-together on this evening, and ran out of time to get a ride done. Planning to be at Dave's Recon run bright and early on Saturday, hopefully no Saturday sleep in for me this week, its ""Good morning Vietnam" at 0400 for me again for the the 5th day in a row (it would have been 6 days if I had not been off sick from work on Monday)...
12/11/05-RAN (6-inch RECON RUN #1) about 28km (2hours 41 minutes) on the gravel trails of the Mundi Biddi mountainbike trail from Dwellingup almost as far as Oakley Dam. (Oakley Dam was the final campsite, for the SU Hiking Camps I went on 1987-1990.) Click on photos or link to go to my page about these times.

6-INCH RECON RUN #1 REPORT;Didn't get to sleep until 0045, so wake-up at 0345 was a bit savage. Drove to Dwellingup got there early at 0600 was able to get organised and relax a bit before the other three 6-inch aspirants arrived. Dave and I set the early pace for the first 30-50minutes, which at around 5.15 per km was fairly comfortable, we took one wrong turn near the Marrinup POW camp but corrected that quickly, and then mostly fairly straight-forward along the Mundi Biddi. When Dave had a pitstop, Nate moved to the front. saw some kangaroos, and the amount of shade from the trees was very welcome. We crossed two gravel "roads", I think Grey Rd and Scarp Rd? (have to check my Mundi Biddi Map 2), and also went past a campsite near the Marrinup POW camp. The campers there were probably still in their sleeping bags and tents, although they were up having breakfast when we came back. Dave and Nate went to the front of our group about 50 minutes in I think?...I dropped back with Gm, as the distance was starting to tell on me a little as expected (Have not run more than 12km since the Perth Marathon 3rd July 2005), and Dave & Nate started to pick up the pace a bit. Made the turn at 1hour 16minutes to start heading back to Dwellingup, a little after Scarp Rd I think... Struggled with the hills on the way back, ended up walking a bit here and there and by about the 2hours 15minutes mark, was slipping into "extreme shuffle mode"/walk zone. Ran with Gm quite a long time, as Dave & Nate, were about 5-15minutes ahead of us on the way back...Dave and Nate finished in about 2 hrs 27, and came back to encourage me and Gm in the last 5 minutes...At the end had some fun with a mock sprint finish with Nate, and pretending I was winning a big race.... My left knee was a little sore near the end, and I did ice it later that day, but ok I think....Had some interesting chats with Gm about using GPS for course measuring, race Tactics, training, my racewalking background, injuries, cyclists on the road, and so on...Its always good to have people to run with, and chat with, as it is a good motivation/encouragement to stick at it, and try and maintain running, when I really felt like throwing in the towel. Tough run, but very rewarding enjoyable, and a feeling of fulfillment. Very nice to get out in thew forest, away from city!!!! Big struggle to avoid falling asleep at the wheel on the way home, but I took breaks every 30-45 minutes on the long drive home, and made it, Thanks God! I think I will try and get KL to drive me home after the 6-INCH Marathon race in December. Now have a good mental picture of how the last 14km of the 6-inch will finish...
13/11/05-Sunday Quick 19 minute walk with KL near the railway tunnel.

2/11/05-Wednesday; Ran about 8km-9km with Dave in Kings Park; 44 minutes...hill up to DNA Tower,(up DNA TOWER itself once) and 1xJacobs ladder before (1min 26), meant this was a pretty good run, with some solid uphill stuff and could feel it in the calves the next day...My sub-standard cardio-respiratory fitness was tested out by all the hills work, but you get that sometimes...Better off for having done it! Terrain/surfaces (mainly grass and trail) and views were excellent...

6/11/05-Sunday PM; Caught a few waves with KL at North Mullaloo Beach until I stepped on a Cobbler?, (spiky Catfish etc) which put venom into my system, and gave me severe pain for about 5-6 hours...Put foot into hot water for 4 hours, and then switched to hot water bottle for 2 hours. Felt rather disorientated by Cobbler venom, slept 10 hours that night, and got Tetanus shot at the Doctors the next day

Towards 6-inch Track Marathon...(45km on steep! gravel tracks)
October 2005 review;In recent weeks; Did one 40km cycle, ran a solid 7km & 8km on consecutive nights, did a few 11km cycles, lots of 3.5km runs, also ran with S near North Beach, and took K through her first ever experience with reps sessions. She has got me doing some Ab-crunches again in the last 2 weeks. Did 150 at 0330hrs before work on 25/10/05. Abs work is good for my back and have not done any for about 6 months, so hopefully can build some momentum with that. tried out some gyms, but I dont like the environment, I prefer to be out in the fresh air.
Have struggled to adjust to 4am wake up 5 days a week for work, still going to sleep at 2300hrs-0000 for 4am wakeup which means 4-5 hours sleep on most nights. Have to get to sleep earlier somehow and get sleep average over 6 hours a night.Pretty keen to get my main mountainbike operational again. Just been way too busy with various stuff also.
Biggest concern though is some injury niggles with my left foot since the Rottnest 10km.
23rd October 2005;Raced the Rottnest 10km Funrun to finish 50th of 215 in 46 minutes 54. Two photos coming soon. Really nice to see girlfriend K improve her 5km time on the much tougher Rottnest course! Watched D improve his marathon time, and N do his debut marathon (3.44!) all on the same day!
1st & 2nd October 2005;Did 10 hours of Hiking with my girlfriend and my Rottnest Marathon friends on the Bibbulumn Track. However have decided against a last minute charge at Rottnest Marathon 2005, its just been too hard to train in recent months, so just going to take it easy with a 10k, cheering on my friends, and helping my girlfriend improve her 5k time....Only other marathon possibility for me this year is Dave's inauguaral off-road 45km '6-inch Track Marathon" on December 18th...(inspired by the 6-foot marathon in the Blue Mountains,NSW which we hear so much about on Cool Running)....So plan to reactivate my BLOG as I try to get training going again, ***consistently!*** in preparation for the 6-inch Track Marathon! wuhoo!...

Where to now?....

BUSY! with new job (40hours per week since 22/8/05), my girlfriend K (for over 5 months now), have done over $1000 worth of much needed repairs on my car! still not happy with it, and its essential for me to get to the 5am starts at work. The mountainbike is out of use for now, will fix it soon. Have recently bought some much needed new shoes. Can retire the pair I ran my first 3 marathons in. Tried out my new shoes in the 2005 City to Surf 12km on 28/8/05, did about 57 minutes.

Sunday 3/7/05; Ran Perth Marathon in 4 hours 2 minutes (5.44perkm)
(Half splits 1.45/2.16)...172nd of 277.
Great to see one of the legends from the WAMC messageboard out there, and Dr Dan also...Tough headwind as I expected from Raffles Bridge (31km) to Narrows Bridge (36km)...A bit warm at times, but overall apart from headwind for that 5km stretch, pretty good conditions....
10k split 45.48, 15k 70.42, 30k 2.41 36k 3.19...
Wonderful,special to have my girlfriend K and my brother from USA, as well as Dad there as my support crew, doing drinks, made the experience all the more special.....

Official results @ WAMC, photos @ fuse photography....

My lack of distance work and sporadic training in general mean't that by 18k-20k I knew the sub 3.30 was not going to happen...

Go HERE for weeks 1-16 of the 2005 marathon assault.

The first 4 weeks includes;
Reload,energize,onward.....My 9th Bridges 5km/10km (1997-2005).....waiting on today,
Mundi Biddi exploration....annihilating my corruption...freedom fighting....find my way back...

---

Weeks 5-8 includes;
when the sun sleeps, L.A. story, In death we rise, every breath you take, tribal warrior, freestyler, c'mon aussie c'mon...
No races in weeks 5 to 8, but 26km run and some good 4x2km reps sessions...
A good starting point/consolidation for my marathon training in these weeks..., plus the 2km reps very good for speed, getting used to running at just under 4minutes per km....or maybe just over... Weeks 9-16 includes; lots of stuff including my PB of 1.41 in the Freo Half Marathon, and the final few weeks of Prep for the 2005 Perth Marathon, where I struggled to get enough training done to nail my 3rd Marathon....

The "Pre-Season", final week;

13/3/05; Sunday; Raced John Forrest 12.6km Cross Country, did 68min. This race included a run up what they call "old faithful" hill, with about 3km to go, which is a very steep and long hill. The gravel track sections near the old railway tunnel were nice to run on, and the views were awesome! Nice peaceful place to run, really enjoyed it!
Saturday; Ran an easy 5k with Steve in very humid, and fairly hot conditions...and made sure we finished the last 1k strongly, so we both ended up with HR's in the 160's for the end, although most of the run was rather sedate, relaxed, I was talking all the way.
Since Thursday I have had badly bruised buttocks, i.e. Forrest Gump injury? :-)
(I jumped backwards into a car, when a dog went for me while delivering on Thursday night).
However with icing that several times a day, it seems to be sorting itself out in the last two days.

---

10/3/05; --No running yet this week...--Went swimmimg Monday,
--Tuesday/Wednesday spent a few hours walking up and down steep hills
doing deliveries (p/t work) been good! for the gastrocnemius (calves)and quads
...and probably didn't do general fitness any harm either, plus beaut! views of the lake! :-)
--Wednesday/Thursday been online for about 10 hours getting
this Blog up and ***running*** *LOL*
--nice to get a few posts in response to my posts on Cool Running (CR)...
--also got a phonecall from Dave, a mate of mine who did a 3.09 in his first Marathon last year,
he is planning on different races to me in the next few weeks...
--Have to get my Mountain Bike (MTB) fixed before Freeway BikeHike
which my mate Steve is also doing...
--have not been down to Tennis club for awhile, too busy with deliveries,
and not a lot of point until I have the money to become a member...
--Anyhow have to get in some good runs in the next few days, to consolidate the
-16k, -4x1k reps, & -4x200m+2x100m I did in the last 2 weeks...
Hope to start WEEK 1 of 16 week attack on 2005 Perth Marathon on a good note...
