I wanted to share with you my experience at Big Sky in Bright, and how this experience is different from what I feel when at home in Sydney. My auxiliary training (everything outside of my sessions) in Bright was almost identical to what I’d do in Sydney. I had one run that was longer than what I’d normally do, but that was really it. However, there were two things that were drastically different during my time here- the altitude I slept and recovered at, and the different styles of session that I experienced as a result of being here. This feeds in to my discussion of altitude training versus the training camp effect.
Last but not least… the countless options of trails!The town of Bright is surrounded by pine forests and these Logging roads make for some nice running. Snowy Creek road is a great option for a long out and back run, the Cherry Walk Nature trail follows the river- its flat and smooth under foot and great for sessions. Finally, If you want flat cycle-path: the Murray to mountains rail trail (Wangaratta to Bright) is approximately 85km.
On a Saturday morning, a 52-year-old man collapsed, having had a cardiac arrest during a fun run. I noticed the commotion as I was driving past on my way to work and stopped. Several other runners, including a general practitioner, had already stopped to help and the ambulance service was in attendance. With everyone’s input, the man was resuscitated, taken to hospital and received stenting to the main artery down the front of his heart. The outcome was so good that it later made the front page of our local newspaper.
