Forest Trails Run 23km ; Bike Commute 16km : Canberra Half Marathon Preview

Recovery run today on forest trails, very chilly with some wind about. Next two mornings expected to be minus 3 degrees. It's looking ideal for the half marathon on Sunday with minus 1 degree and light winds, much the same as in 2019, the last time the event was held. It will be my third running of the event the first was way back in 1989 (some crazy fast early splits that day chasing Pat Carroll). I'll be as relaxed as I was back then, being in full training and looking for a running adventure.

Today is the end of week four in this base training block. Last four weeks were 112km,109km,132km and 123km.

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.
