Stromlo XC : 3 x 600m Power Hills

Late autumnal afternoon, winds blowing, cool, just Helen and myself.

The set: 2500m warm up, 4 x 100m strides, 600m of wind sprints (5 x 50m efforts), 3 x 600m hills on moderate incline (Me: 1:59, 2:00, 1:57 ; Helen 2:32, 2:31, 2:33). Hills done at 90% effort with jog back recovery. Felt great.

As an additional warm up I ran 5km prior to session.

Next set: Long Intervals on track or XC. Will wait on the weather.

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.
