Today’s run took to a spot I had forgotten about.
— The Templestowe Hill Climb Circuit —
It used to be the steepest paved road around. Previously used to for car racing. Now it makes for nice little circuit out in nature.
It will be great for some hill repeats!

Anyone else notice how the temperature drops just after the sun ☀️ rises?

Summer has my favourite weather, but Autumn has the best scenery

These Deviate Nitros have seen plenty of kilometres and they’re still serving me well.
Took me through a nice 6x1km interval session today

“Early mornings: when the world hasn’t woken up yet. The air is cool. There is solitude, clarity, and a head start on the day!

🔥 Run For The Firies 🔥
There’s a big difference between 10km versus 100km races.
To be exact.. 10.6km today
I’m so out of race practice for the shorter distance. So I needed a plan 🗺️….
Because this has big, f-off hill in the first part I chose to be very CONSERVATIVE for the first half. Then take advantage of all the down hill in the second half.
😬 turns out what felt conservative was really running at my limit for the distance.
The hill took its toll and I had to find a big of reprieve across the top flat section.
Onto the big downhill and I ready to use my strength….but !
… I don’t if it was a lack of racing fast
… or the hill took more out of legs
… or idea of my fitness versus reality is way off
I just didn’t feel I was taking advantage of the downhill.
That’s ok..👌 the effort was still there.
And I’m very happy I was able to run hard for the entire race. I’m just not as fast as my ego thinks I should be.
A great race, I love one of my local trails. Great atmosphere with perfect weather today ☀️
And the post race chats with everyone is always a win 🥇

Tomorrow is 🔥
I’m in for the 10.6km which is very different than the ultras I’ve raced this year.
No big expectations. Just a chance to run hard and have fun 🤩
