Beach Intervals 2 x 1km, 4 x 400m ; Tour de France Watching

Morning set of Beach Intervals starting at Glasshouse Rocks Beaches (2 x 1km), moving to Surf Beach (4 x 400m), before moving to my local beaches for a long warm down recovery run. In the afternoon my usual 2 x One Mile Hill Efforts. 17km for the day. Last night spent watching another great Tour de France Stage, The race went too fast through Sestrieres and Montgenevre to see all my favourite memories from back in 2011.
I did find enough happy snaps to remind me. This evening the race starts from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne (I was there for the Criterium du Dauphine in 2011, the year Cadel Evans won Tour de France) to Saint-Vulbas with some lumps along the way. I may fall asleep at some point.

Long Intervals

Of me: Early set. Same set as last 2 weeks, quicker again. 2000m (631), 1600m (5:13), 1200m (3:57)[first 4 efforts at 10km pace], 800m (2:30), 400m (69)...all with 200m recovery. Running technique much better. Form much better...not sure how much the form is due to iron jab or 5 weeks of consistent training and some great sessions. Of the others: I paced 5200m at exactly 4mins/km. Roget and Tori did what they could at that pace. Maria did 3 x 1000m. Janene on her own did similar to other weeks in the 4:10-4:15 range. Heidze did 1600m, 1200m, 800m, 400m and looking very comfortable in doing so. Kathy some strides. Helen this morning 4 x 7 minutes.

Big Weather Event Brewing ; Indoor Training ; Australian Masters Athletics Championships Mixed XC race

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.
