Lunchtime 5 x 600m XC Intervals, 1:30 jog recovery

A short XC session at lunch on a soft grass surface, my first short intervals set in 3 months. Weather cloudy, warm and humid, some wind. The set: Warm up, 5 x 600m efforts, 1:30 jog and stretch recovery, warm down. I started very slow and warmed into it aiming just to get through the session with no pain. Splits: 4:35/km,3:59/km,3:48/km,3:40/km,3:30/km.

I pulled up well. An afternoon recovery run to make it 17km for the day, 123km last 7 days. Tomorrow if all is well I'll run a short interval session prior to a 3000m tempo run on track with ACT Masters Athletics.

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.
