Stromlo XC Intervals 3 x 800m, 1:30 recovery

Set with Steve on Thursday morning. Weather cool to warm, no wind. Grass had just been cut, still on the slow side.

The set: Warm up, 5 x 100m strides, 3 x 800m efforts, 1:30 recovery, warm down. Splits: 2:47,2:43,2:39. We were doing this set last year as six efforts and I got to 2:20s for the efforts. Today was all about getting the head in the groove for what will be a summer staple set.

I'm off to the coast on the weekend with Milli the Border Collie. I may run a Parkrun on Saturday to celebrate 15 years of parkrun, otherwise no sessions until Tuesday.

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.
