BBQ Stakes Maximum Threshold 6km XC 21:47 ; Steve 3 x 1500m, 500m jog

Lunchtime at BBQ Stakes Maximum Threshold 6km XC run in 21:47, equal to my best effort since November 2017. Weather warm, sunny and just a breeze across the top of the hilly XC section. Legs were fatigued with 120km last 7 days and a session yesterday. This afternoon an easy recovery run to make 15km for the day.

Next set on Saturday, some fast paced intervals at 3:10/km with 60 seconds recovery.

Today Steve ran 3 x 1500m efforts with 500m jog recovery. Splits: 5:19,5:18,5:11. Average was1.3 seconds quicker than 13 days ago.

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.
