Stromlo XC Intervals with Steve 4 x 800m, 200m recovery

Pre-dawn set with Steve at Stromlo XC circuits. It was our first set together in 9 months. Weather cloudy, no wind, lots of dew on grass. The inside line on the circuit was either roped off or sandy and not runnable, the 800m distance running long. The set: 5.5km warm up, 4 x 800m+ with 200m recovery, warm down of 8km at home. I felt great out there with all efforts within a couple of seconds. The final 300m was slower than previous sessions (52-53 seconds)due to sand and dew on grass. There was another running group out there including Scotty, Will and friends. Next set expected on Thursday with a short time trial. Parkrun on Saturday unless I head down to the coast. If so I will do a Not Parkrun down there.

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.
