Long Mountain Run 27km

I bumped into orienteering friends Jase and Rob not far from home this morning, joined them for a 2 hour mountain run. Lots of hills, some bush single track, two big climbs to Dairy Farmers Hill and the summit of Black Mountain. On the flat sections pace was fluent and faster.

I lost a lot of fluid out there, weight was very low on the scales. That's enough long stuff for me. Weight is under control, I'm feeling good. This week tops out at 144km or 90 miles. I'll start a slow taper from now to reach under 100km/week in two weeks and 85km/wk a few days later, just before the 10000m club championships.

Keith also did a long run of 18km 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.
