Long Trails Recovery Run 17km

Morning run on trails, mostly with Milli the Border Collie, I ran 6km before taking her out. Weather cool, light winds, cloudy. All up 17km for the day, 122km last 7 days. I am almost finished week 9 of the high volume training block (120km+/week average). History says I am vulnerable to illness at around 10 weeks, lowered immunity. I'll schedule an easy week as soon as I get my 5000m time trial done, hopefully tomorrow.

Next set will include a 5000m time trial, venue to be decided. Probably Thursday morning. May is typically not a good month for running in Canberra, cold and windy, often fog or rain.

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.
