Winter Storm Passes Through in Taper Week
A winter storm bringing destructive winds, cold air and snow to surrounding hills is passing through Canberra these last few days. What that means for a runner is getting out there when you can. Structure goes out the window.
Being in a taper week for City2Surf 14km with 80000 others made things a little easier. A great session mid-week, then ticking off 10km per day with 6 x 150m strides on alternate days on grass has me feeling positive come race day (Sunday).
Jen earlier in the week ran 10km from home including a 7km tempo run around the lake. Jen surely made the most of her opportunities when they came.
I'm off to Sydney tomorrow which will bring warmer weather. Weather for City2Surf looks OK on Sunday. Saturday I'll do a short jog by the harbour in full kit and include a 1km tempo run at 3:10-3:20/km on the flat to wake the legs up again after a few hours driving in the car.
