Stromlo XC 18km

Air quality much improved in Canberra over yesterday, still at hazardous levels. I ran at Stromlo XC circuit 18km at 4:20/km average on my own wearing face mask and sealed sunglasses solo. By the time we had gathered for and finished coffee the sun was shining, no smell of smoke and good visibility. Expected to reach 37 degrees today, 42 degrees tomorrow along with more bush fires. Rain expected following two days which may clear things up.

I've now completed two weeks of base training at 120km+/week. Eight of my nine last days have included long runs. My left thigh was good today although still stiff.
