Stromlo XC : 4 x 600m Intervals

This morning at Stromlo XC course 4 x 600m efforts with 400m recovery. Splits: 1:46, 1:45, 1:44, 1:58. Efforts were so quick on the first three I cruised the last. The splits as good as I have done for this session. Just over three weeks until Australian Masters Athletics Championships and I'm ready again to race, especially the 1500m.

With me were Jen, Kathy and Maria. Kathy was quickest of the girls. Maria ran 3 x 1000m loops, leaving the country tomorrow.

Elsewhere Steve ran 4 x 3 minute efforts (3:26/km,3:26/km,3:25/km,3:24/km). That's easily Steve's best set in this build up.

Keith in Bega ran 4 x 1000m (3:41,3:43,3:42,3:53). 14km all up including 5 x 100m strides in 19 seconds.

This afternoon a recovery run, 130km last 7 days. Tomorrow I am expecting to run Mother's Day Classic 5km if all is well.

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.
