BBQ Stakes Maximum Threshold 6km XC 21:34

Cloudy, windy, some drizzle and cool at BBQ Stakes at lunch. A very similar run to my last outing at BBQ. Even paced throughout and very strong at the finish. Time of 21:34 just one second faster than a couple of weeks ago. Helen ran a solid 29:30ish. Her form is tracking with mine. Logical since we train together.

Prior to Australian Masters Athletics Championships in Perth I was running BBQ around 15 seconds slower than post Championships. Maybe I was a bit underdone with maximum threshold work pre-AMA Champs when the focus was more on 1500m. I'm holding it together at BBQ for longer now.

This afternoon an 11km recovery run, 19km for the day, 129km last 7 days.

Next set on Saturday with long XC intervals at Stromlo.

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.
