Stromlo XC Intervals 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Minutes : Steve 10 X 1 Minutes

Soggy under foot at Stromlo XC circuits for a set of 6,5,4,3,2,1 minute efforts with 1 minute jog recovery on the undulating 2.5km loop. I had Jason for company out there. Pace 3:40/km-3:00/km. Steve ran 10 X 1 minute intervals, 1 minute recovery on bike path, a better choice of surface. Pace 3:18/km-3:06/km. On Sunday a long recovery run. On Thursday a 3000m/5000m track race is scheduled with Australian Masters Athletics. Last Thursday their first meet was cancelled due to rain. The weather doesn't look good for this Thursday either. With La Niña settling in it looks like a continuation of the warm, wet weather we have had for months. That's a much better outcome than bushfires. If the weather holds out and ACT Masters don't replace the 3000m/5000m with a Mickey Mouse event on the night I'll get my first track race done for the season. If things don't go as planned I'll run another time trial on my own.

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.
