5000m Paced XC Intervals : 3 x 3 minutes

Got lucky with the weather this afternoon, a cold front with rain and strong winds passed through just before start of session. The weather sunny, cool and moderate winds, almost dark by finish of session.

The set: 10km warm up, 4 x 100m hill strides, 3 x 3 minute efforts at 3:10/km or better on undulating XC surface, 1 minute jog recovery, 5km warm down. Just Helen and myself.

Sitting on 130km last 7 days. Next session on Thursday either hills or efforts similar to this session. I'll be having a play race in a week or so, will back off the volume after the weekend.

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.
