Beach Run 17km incl 10 X 200m

Pre-dawn 17km run including a set of 10 X 200m strides with 200m recovery. A stone bruise on left foot from yesterday, I wore Nike Alphafly 1s to avoid further damage. In the afternoon 3km at faster than Parkrun pace. Next set on Thursday morning. The tide will be low and going out, sand hard and fast. I'll run my favourite beach again, this time practicing my dead turns within the set. Parkrun Batemans Bay has four dead turns. It's an area I can technically improve on saving enough seconds to get a new PB on Saturday morning. Power into the turn, quick short steps around the turn, stay low, power out, stand up with high hips, back to maximum threshold.

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.
