Stromlo XC Intervals 3 x 600m, 400m jog recovery ; Steve 9km tempo incl 5km 19:01

I am well into taper week for City2Surf 14km road race. Today a lunch time 4km run on grass including 6 x 150m strides at 3:00/km. In the afternoon at Stromlo XC circuit 8km including 4 x 100m strides and 3 x 600m efforts with 400m jog recovery. Splits: 1:46,1:44,1:40. I felt great, never full gas. I'm now at the same training level as I was a week out from Australian Masters Athletics Championships in late April 2019. I'll find out how that plays out over 14km on Sunday.

Today Steve ran a 9km tempo run with the middle 5km in 19:01. Another great effort for Steve who is still in winter training mode and consistently putting out solid sessions.

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.
