Recovery Week : ACTVAC Track

It's been a week of getting my legs back after those hard runs on Thursday and Sunday last. Wednesday and today long recovery runs of 70 & 90 minutes. Thursday a 20km run including 5 x 600m on track (153,150,150,150,149). Deliberately slower than usual but shorter recovery to replicate a 5000m pace.

At track Keith, Steve and Helen ran the 1500m. Helen also ran the 6 lap handicap. All good runs for everyone on the night.

Keith ran an all time PB in the 1500m. As an M55 he is now in contention for a medal at world level in everything from 1500m up.

Still much improvement possible for all of them but the track gets ripped up after next Thursday so they may have to wait until the new year.

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.
