Pacing Session : 5000m

Off to the track this afternoon for some 5000m pacing and to get the feel of a track devoid of slow runners. Dropped straight into rhythm at 19 seconds per 100m with a beeping watch. Held that pace comfortably for 2000m (6:17) although I had to work harder into the breeze which was shifting about. Walked 200m then another 1000m in 3:07, same story. Ran another 400m in 76 only because my usual Monday set has been 4 x 800m and didn't want to do less than that.

Not going to Melbourne to race, the weather dodgy. Tmoz a 5000m XC race at Stromlo I will use as training...some 3 minute intervals with a 100m float...should be able to squeeze five in.

A big weather event is brewing for much of my local area this afternoon and weekend. Up to 100mm predicted to fall with damaging winds. I've been through a few of these periods now. I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
