Long Run 18km ; Stromlo XC Intervals 3 x 1500m

Yesterday evening a long recovery run on forest trails of 18km. After a very hot day I didn't finish the run until after 8pm.

This morning with Steve 3 x 1500m XC efforts at Stromlo. Weather cloudy, warm and humid. Track needs a cut again although it's possible to find a firm line by feel.

The set: Warm up, 5 x 100m strides (22,19,17,15,15[Steve was quicker]), 3 x 1500m efforts with long recovery (5:13,5:09,5:04[Steve just behind]), warm down.

Next set on Saturday morning early. Steve and I will start doing our tough set at Stromlo with a step down of 2000m, 1500m, 1200m, 800m, 400m.

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.
