Beach Intervals 17km incl 2 X 800m, 1 X 1500m

Beach run at low tide including a set of 2 X 800m, 1 X 1500m with 200m jog recovery. Splits 800m (500m,300m): 1:37,60 ; 1:41,62. Splits 1500m(500m):1:39,1:41,1:38. 17km all up including warm up and warm down. It's slow progress, I'm seeing more and more splits at faster than 3:20/km in the key sessions in the last fortnight. Steve in Canberra ran again in minus 5 degrees. I did escape those winters for 12 consecutive years by travelling to France. Running on flat beaches in St Malo and here is contagious. In both places training is ruled by the tides. Milli the Border Collie has never been more happy.

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.
