Stromlo XC Intervals 4 x 800m, 200m Recovery : Steve 4 x 500m, 3 Minutes Recovery

Lovely day for running after minus 2 degrees overnight. Too cold for a decent 5km time trial. I did a session at lunch instead at Stromlo of 4 x 800m efforts, 200m recovery. Splits: 2:42.8,2:32.9,2:29.5,2:24.4 . A positive set for me. When I get all efforts around 2:24 I'll be ready for a great 5000m. Steve ran 4 x 500m efforts earlier in the morning, still freezing at minus 1 degree. Splits: 1:31,1:32,1:31,1:30. Another quick set, very consistent at that pace. I'll try again for a 5km time trial on Friday morning, predicted at +1 degree. An easy 10km today to warm down from the session. 17km for the day, 134km this week.

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.
