AIS Short Intervals @ 5000m pace

Lots of distractions for the session including some sort of track camp, must have been 100 younger athletes out there from interstate. They largely left the inside lane free as the groups warmed up which was good for me as I was having a 'flat' day from all those kilometres in the legs. 1200m (3:45), 800m (2:30), 800m (2:30) with 200m walk recovery. I found I had to relax more to get the speed out as there wasn't much force going into track from my weary legs...still another set done and no races in sight for another month.

Looks like next week will be our first taste of almost winter and it has been a long time coming. The weather has been great and will make the most of it on the weekend.

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.
