Stromlo XC Intervals 3 x 1000m ; 6,5,4,3 Minute Intervals

Saturday morning group set at Stromlo XC circuits. Weather cold to cool, frost and fog lifting to full sun. The set: 2500m warm up, 5 x 100m strides, 3 x 1000m on undulating sector, warm down. 10km all up for the morning. Splits: 3:16,3:11,3:10. We had some trouble with kangaroos on the track, a couple kick boxing each other, normal for mating season.

Sunday morning a hilly Club XC handicap at Black Mountain. More often than not in the last 12 years I usually return to Australia this evening after chasing Tour de France. Not this year sadly.

Steve ran 6,5,4,3 minute intervals. Splits: 3:42/km,3:36/km,3:34/km,3:28/km

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.
