Long Run on Forest Trails 26km

Sunday morning 26km run on forest trails. With thunderstorms all night I thought the forest trails would be a muddy mess, not to be. They were compact (sandy clay) and fast to run on. Pace was mostly 4:30-4:40/km. The longer I went the more fluent the running form. Very enjoyable. Weather was warm, no wind, some cloud, nice for running.

Post run coffee was at Little Oink with Milli the Border Collie and friends.

I am confident I can now resume intervals on grass at race speed. I'll give myself 3 weeks (6 sessions) on grass to find some good 5km form again.

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.
