Max Threshold Hill Intervals : 3+4+5 Minute Efforts ; Keith in Bega : 6 x 630m 3:22-3:26/km

18km at lunch including 3 x maximum threshold efforts of 3,4 and 5 minutes on moderate to steep inclines at roughly 10km pace. 135km last 7 days. A light 600m set on Saturday, saving something for 9.3km XC handicap over Mount Ainslie on Sunday. History says 32 minutes+ is fast for me, 33 minutes+ is very good. I won't leave anything in the tank.

Keith in Bega on harness track (horses), 6 x 630m efforts all at a consistently fast pace. Keith is running very well now. Still ages away from track season when it counts. He will have to stay patient through the very cold winter here. We get down to minus 5 next week. I'm getting out of here to the Gold Coast and France.

Keith has new shoes, replacing the 149 pair which we ran over on the driveway to his 60th birthday party.

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.
