Stromlo XC Intervals 4 x 500m, 500m Recovery : Track Resumes Soon

After a few days of base training I am back into structured workouts again. Track racing is expected to resume in 10 days, hopefully Parkrun too a couple of days later. On track I will be looking to run a 3000m or 5000m as the final race of the meets on 11th November and 2nd December. I only expect to compete in 2 races on track this year as I build up to my 60th birthday in late January. Then I'll have a few age records I can chase. The set today was 4 x 500m with 500m recovery jog. Splits: 1:38,1:30,1:28,1:25. Weather sunny with a cool headwind from the south east. Next set on Wednesday with 4 x 800m, short recovery. 120km run last 7 days, 27th week of base building.

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.
