BBQ Stakes 6km Threshold Run 22:13

First BBQ Stakes 6km hilly xc threshold run in a fortnight as I was on timing duty last week. Weather warm to hot, sunny, light winds. It was my 5th solid day consecutive (Parkrun,7km XC,500m strides,800m intervals). I was feeling good, no injuries although a little mentally stale. I'll have two easy days until Saturday morning set. Taper will begin on Monday after completing this 10 week build up.

Splits: 3:47,3:51,3:41,3:55,3:19,3:34. A good day looks like this run a few weeks ago: 3:41,3:48,3:31,3:48,3:14,3:31.

Saturday set will include some long XC intervals if the weather is good.

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.
