Long Run #4

Having started my long runs a fortnight ago at 76 minutes I've slowly added a few minutes each run until today 85 minutes...that's very close to the 90 minute maximum I've set myself going into 2015. Likewise the volume has been sneaking up from a few very low weeks post-marathon. I don't need to go past an average of 120km which is what I've had for a fortnight. There may be some weeks bigger and some smaller but I am where I need to be. Tomorrow the tough Saturday session 4 x 2000m xc intervals on 1:30 second jog recovery. Sunday 4km ACT Masters XC Handicap. In the handicap 14:18 2012, 14:13 2013...see if I can break 14:30 and I will be happy. In 6 weeks I'll be on the Gold Coast:-) Three days later in France :-):-)

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.
