Stromlo Virtual Parkrun 5km 16:56

Wednesday morning Virtual Parkrun 5km at Stromlo. Weather cool, no wind, sun not up yet. I did a 1km warm up including 8 x 100m strides, all done in pitch black. Began the set when I could see the ground in front of me. Splits: 3:24,3:23,3:23,3:25,3:21=16:56. 8km warm down at Pipeline track with Milli the Border Collie. The cows were back.

Today my fastest 5km since October 2019. I can see already 16:40s will be easy to run. Getting into the 16:30s will take a few more sessions.

Raining on Thursday and Friday (probably this afternoon too). Next set on Saturday 7 x 3 minute XC efforts with 60 seconds jog recovery.

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.
