Stromlo XC Intervals : 4 x 2500m
Rain two days ago and a heavy dew last evening softened up the surface to slow the circuit down a touch. It is usually fastest in the dead of winter when there is no grass and again in late summer when there is no rain.
Emma was there before us running a 35km in prep for the glow worm trail event in a couple of weeks.
The early set: 2000m warm up, 4 x 100m, 4 x 2500m with 1:40 jog recovery. 2000m warm down. Only Steve and I today. The splits: 838,835,843,840. I was able to stay with Steve throughout the whole session so we have the same splits. There were moments that tested my head and body but on the whole I was stronger than previous weeks.
A large crew for set two: 3 x 2500m. I had to leave after their warm up so nothing to report.
That's the longest session we will do in this block. A new training block begins on June 16 where the emphasis will be on preparing us for work on the track while still building the base. Next week some of us will do a play race. There will be one road or cross country race per month until October.
