Tour de France : Montelimar, Culoz : Strength Hills : 2 x 5000m : Lacets du Grand Colombier

A couple of days ago an early morning 30 minute run in Montelimar, there for the race start.

Based in Culoz for a race finish the last two evenings. I ran two x 5000m ascension of Lacets du Grand Colombier. Total climb was around 700m with maximum gradient of 14%. It was great fun. The climb was used in the final ascent of Tour de France.

Now in the French alps waiting a couple of days for the Tour de France to return from Switzerland following a rest day.

Today two flatish recovery runs of 90 minutes in total.

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.
