Stromlo XC Stepdown Intervals 2000m,1500m,1000m,500m

Started a cool Monday morning with an 8km run with Milli the Border Collie. Once again she was much faster than me, did as best I could to chase her. A couple of hours later a set at Stromlo XC Circuits. It had warmed up nicely by then although too many people for my liking. I did well to avoid them.

the set: Warm up, 2000m,1500m,1000m,500m efforts with 500m jog recovery on the most undulating parts of the circuits. Pace started at 3:50/km on the first effort. All the rest were at 3:20/km, no kick down on the last effort. All up 17km for the morning, 122km last 7 days.

Next set on Tuesday morning, some 600m strides, faster if I am feeling well.

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.
