Long Run with Lower Threshold 50 minutes ; Marathon de Paris

This morning no wind and very cool, perfect for running. Out and back undulating course almost all on wide gravel trails through the forest. Pace slow for 15 minutes, slightly slower than half marathon pace (3:40/km) for 50 minutes in middle section, 15 minute slow to finish. I felt great out there, my most fluent long run since I was in New Zealand in January days after Oceania Masters Athletics Championships. Easy jog on grass for recovery this afternoon.

Jen ran Marathon de Paris today...a big 28 minute PB, well done Jen.

Next set on Tuesday, 1500m specific at Stromlo on XC circuit.

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.
