Long Trail Run including 10km Tempo

Friday morning long trail run on the pipeline track including a 10km Tempo section. Pace was in the low 4s/km, fastest section 3:50/km. Heart rate of 137bpm, maximum threshold is around 165bpm. Weather cool, partly cloudy, light winds. It was lovely to be out there running, feeling great after the 5km effort yesterday. I felt the same after the 10km race earlier in the year. After 7 weeks of 120km+ I'm now on top of things.

Next set tomorrow at Stromlo XC circuit with friends. Set will be 1000m repeats. Pace will start at 3:10/km reducing to 3:00/km.

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.
