Morning Brunch Run with Milli and Munchkin the Border Collies 12km ; TDF Stage 15 Plateau de Beille Retro 2011

Sunday Morning Brunch Run with Milli and Munchkin the Border Collies, 12km all up. The run from Dalmeny south along the coast trail and return with stops at all the beaches where Milli again taught Munchkin how to herd waves. After the run Brunch and coffee at Dalmeny. Tour de France Stage 15 heads to Plateau de Beille. I only visited once in 2011 near the tail end of my 90 day trip. I only visited as I was based near Foix, a short drive away. The Summit was crowded but I found a spur off the mountain which was very quiet and a good place to do a long hilly run.

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.
