Stromlo XC 20km incl 8 x 500m, 500m jog recovery

Afternoon run at Stromlo XC circuits of 20km including 8 x 500m strides,500m jog recovery. Weather cool, windy, partly sunny. I struggled to find a rhythm in those conditions, starting at 3:48/km eventually getting dow to 3:02/km. I never really got warmed up. That concludes week 7 of this base training block with just 100km for the week. I did nothing at all on the rainy day last week. The rest of the week will be horrible weather with snow in Canberra and lots of rain predicted. It should clear by the weekend and Parkrun. I'll fit in whatever I can when I can.

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.
