Stromlo XC Intervals : 5 x 600m

Weather sunny, cool, no wind. Track starting to brown off but still soft at this stage. Lane ropes are up with school XC carnivals in full swing. Distances on the 1000m loop much longer than normal.

The set: 1000m warm up, 4 x 100m, 5 x 600m (153,152,152,152,147) with 400m float recovery, 1500m warm down. Another 45 minutes recovery run this afternoon makes my third 120km+ week since Australian Masters Athletics Championships.

Very happy with that set this morning. Tomorrow with be a longer step down set, same as last Saturday. It is expected to rain on Sunday, not good for those doing Mothers Day Classic.

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.
