17km incl Hill Fartlek

Morning run down to the lake and return on bike path. Everything is still soggy after the rain yesterday, Stromlo running circuits are closed. On leaving the lake and returning back up the bike path 4km climb I incorporated a fartlek session of 90 seconds x 2, 60 seconds x 4, 30 seconds x 4 and 15 seconds x 4, all with equal duration recovery. Warm down to home followed the session. Saturday Parkrun, Stromlo circuits are closed due to excessive rain. On Sunday a 17km run including a set of 6 minute efforts, 1 minute jog recovery. It will be my last very hard session before Gold Coast Half Marathon next Saturday.

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.
