Lunchtime Lake Tempo Run 17km

At noon a lunchtime tempo run around the lake near work of 17km. Pace started at 5:30/km working down to low 4mins/km. Weather was warm, air quality good, cloudy, some wind and high humidity. It had poured rain most of the night, stopping around 9am this morning. Puddles everywhere on the bike path. I've been adding in a few runs in the last 3 weeks to harden the legs up for Marathon de Paris. I won't do more than two runs on a hard surface each week.

It's time to begin structured training again. I'll begin with two long interval sessions this week and see how the body holds up. Parkrun again on Saturday.

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.
