Rainy Recovery Run Days ; Steve 5km Time Trial 18:19

Thursday and Friday rain with some breaks in the weather. No sessions planned, best to use as recovery runs. This morning an 8km run on forest trails with Milli the Border Collie. Kangaroos everywhere plus the cows. Milli was on lead for most of the run. The run started in drizzle before the heavens opened up. After lunch I ran 10km on road. 120km this week completing 8 weeks of high volume training in this training block.

Steve got in a 5km time trial at Stromlo XC circuits before the rain began.
Splits: 3:22,3:45,3:38,3:49,3:38=18:19 which was 5 seconds quicker than last week.

Next set on Saturday morning at Stromlo XC circuits. Set expected to be 7 x 3 minute efforts, 1 minute jog recovery. I'll have an easier volume week following that before a few hard time trials to replicate what would have been Australian Masters Athletics Championships. 1500m, 5000m and an 8000m XC are likely.
