Track 5000m as 5 x 3 minute Intervals

16km this afternoon including 5000m on track in 17:30 done as 5 x 3 minute intervals at 16:40 pace with 30-40 second jog and stretch recovery. I wore training shoes, tights and fleece top.

Weather was cloudy, cold and only a slight wind. Any amount of rain could fall this weekend. The set was a safeguard against a washout. If the weather is OK for running when I wake tomorrow I will do a similar set on undulating XC surface and much quicker than today. A long run will follow on Sunday regardless of 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.
