There is something to be said about training in the rain - generally speaking these are good runs. However hill training in the rain is always excellent and yesterday was no exception. Markus, Christian and I headed off for the hills at about 17h45 and I was strongly reminded of winter hill training with Chris Sole running from the UCT clubhouse.
Plan was to do more than last week (20 minutes) of uphill and maybe even a bit faster! Certainly both Warti and Markus were better than last week, I was only marginally better, but we did manage 23 minutes of uphill runner which I was pleased about. We did hit the 400m mark in total so mission accomplised.
It was great to run in the group again, and I was reminded how much fun we had back in South Africa during these runs. And of course you get to push each other, as Markus found out yesterday. We all have it in us, it just needs to be beaten out :)
Also just a word of congratulation to Arthur and Frank who ran the Wachau Marathon on Sunday. Arthur ran a PB of 3hrs12 and Frank unfortunately had a few stomach problems but still ended up with a sub 3h30 run. And all of this with a head wind! Well done to you both. Results can be found here!
So, report about the weekend OL races will follow,
Richard.
