Stromlo XC Intervals 3 x 600m efforts, 400m recovery

Cold in the late afternoon at Stromlo XC circuit. Nobody on track except Helen and myself. Hard to get warmed up wearing full cover head to toe.

The set: Warm up, 5 x 100m strides, 3 x 600m (2:01,1:51,1:48), warm down. Helen splits: 2:35,2:34,2:32. I would have liked another effort as I was just getting going...the light and cold was against us.

Next set tomorrow with BBQ Stakes 6km XC handicap. I'll run the first and last parts solid, run the hilly XC section as intervals, faster than I would normally run.

Saturday is ACT Masters 8000m XC at Stromlo. I'll have an easier day on Friday.

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.
