Stromlo : 1500m Paced XC Intervals

Cold and windy again. The track firmer than a couple of days ago. Another set to do. Jack and Helen were there to keep me honest.

The set: 4000m warm up, 4 x 100m hill strides, 8 x 40 seconds at 1500m pace, 40 seconds float recovery, long warm down. 16km for the day.

Of me: I felt very good out there today. Weight was racing weight plus 1kg which is good. I might get to City2Surf 14km next week in OK shape.

Next set on Saturday 6,5,4,3,2,1 minute intervals with 1 minute recovery on XC surface again.

For celebration my 55th birthday taking Minnie and Bella to a secret getaway, somewhere near Cadel Evans, 27th January 2017.

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.
