Long XC Intervals : 5 x 3 minute efforts, 60 seconds jog recovery

At Stromlo XC circuit this afternoon with Helen, Kathy doing own set also there. Helen and I ran 5 x 3 minute efforts with 60 seconds jog recovery. I wore only training shoes and still ran 3:10-3:20km on the flat. Helen wasn't far behind. We did the usual long warm up and 5 x 100m strides, long warm down.

Next set will be a Parkrun 5km on Saturday. It's Australian Running Festival weekend. That should keep the crowds down.

A sign the weather is perfect in Canberra is when the balloons are up in the morning and smoke lingers in the afternoon from precautionary forest burns.

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.
