Forest Trails Run 22km ; Cycle Commute 16km ; Structured Training Resumes

Clear skies, another cold, windy day. I ran 22km on forest trails and a 16km commute to work and back on the MTB. There is a 3 day break with a holiday on Monday. No cycling this long weekend. Long run on Sunday of 2 hours. Saturday Parkrun and Stromlo XC intervals. Monday long XC intervals. That will get me back in running mode and a typical winter training program of 6 months.

The last week has been crazy and unplanned. Being without a car for an extended period and finding a way to work resulted in 252km of running and cycling or 17 hours this week. That's not sustainable for me. I think I've found a way to reduce that volume over the last couple of days and leading into this weekend.

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.
