Taper Session 2 : 2000m Tempo

Steve and Jane this morning on bitumen did their 2000m tempo. Jane 7:14 (3:34, 3:40) compares to 7:37 last taper tempo. Steve 6:46 (3:21, 3:25) compares to 6:53 last taper tempo.

Keith did his tempo at 85% effort.

I'll be doing my session at Stromlo XC this afternoon...which I did in 6:34 (3:09,3:24). It was windy. My fastest time since April 2013 at AMA XC Championships crazy raced surging first lap chasing Darren Peacock (3:03,3:12) and my fastest in training this year by 3 seconds. That hill at 1.1km sure knocks the stuffing out of the splits.

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.
