AIS Track : Short Lactate Intervals

Final session of this type before Australian Masters Athletics Championships. Only Steve and I doing the session of 7 x 400m + 200m with 400m jog recovery. After a 70 seconds first effort I put in a couple of 68s until I was totally stuffed with 1000m of running to go. A real struggle against the lactate but still managed a 30 second final 200m to end up with the same cumulative as last week of 3000m in 8:38, Steve 8:56. It was very hot out there and maybe the hardest session I've done all summer.

I have two days to recover for the next play race over 5000m. It will be interesting to see how I freshen up as I still push towards an average of 120km/week for the month of February. I've got a schedule drawn up for March as well with the same workload as Marathon de Paris is drawing near.

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.
