BBQ Stakes Maximum Threshold 6km XC 22:25

Weather at lunch sunny, warm to hot, headwind on the exposed XC sections. That made it tough going for everyone. I had some issues with heat stress as we waited for the weekly chat and results from previous week. Result was 22:25, same effort as previous weeks, I felt OK out there, headwind was notable in slowing my progress through the field. Still a good result. Helen did as interval set with warm up an had another solid run.

All up 17km for the day including a 40 minute recovery run at dusk, it was still very warm. Next set tomorrow morning, something short, light, again at 1500m pace.

Volume is still in the 120km+ last 7 days. Tomorrow will hit 130km due to a slack last Thursday as meet director. Taper begins on Monday taking volume all the way down to 85km the day before 10000m at Australian Masters Athletics Championships. Carolyne took the snaps near the finish.
