Stromlo Long XC Intervals / Threshold Run
Weather very wet, not much wind, track slow and slushy with lane ropes up to protect inside lines. 1km circuit is now running at 1.1km. Stromlo is expected to close due to rain by Monday.
Nine of us out there today including Keith from Bemboka. Almost all of us did some sort of maximum threshold running. It was no fun just hanging around and it was home for a hot shower before heading off for the usual post-session brunch.
Keith ran 5.2km in 19:31, to 6.3km in 23:15.
Main session was 5.2km done as 5 minute intervals with 30 second float recovery. My time 17:30(roughly 16:50 at 5km). Effort was much harder than last evening. I ran 13km this morning, another 7km loosener to be done this afternoon.
This is my 7th consecutive week of 120km+. Next race will be ACT Masters XC Championship 8km on June 18th, followed by ACT Masters XC Handicap 10km the following weekend. I'll ease up a little for both of those races.
