Stromlo : 5000m Paced XC Intervals : 3 x 700m

Cold, windy and dreary afternoon after some rain this morning. Back to Stromlo again first time in 4 weeks. Track was wet in places but not too bad considering all the rain.

The set: 4km warm up, 5 x 100m hill strides, 3 x 700m on undulating XC surface, 2500m warm down. Splits: 2:19 (3:18/km), 2:13 (3:10/km), 2:10 (3:07/km). Helen also did set all in around 2:52 (4:05/km). I did another run at lunch and warm down with dog.

Next set on Thursday, similar set as today, also at Stromlo. Intensity will pick up a little from today's efforts. Just a cruise today.

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.
