Stromlo XC Intervals 4 x 2500m, 2-3 minutes recovery

This morning at Stromlo XC circuit Helen completed her 4th speed endurance set for the Australian Masters Athletics Championships Half Marathon to be held in Canberra at the end of May. 2500m repeats began at 1 effort, through 2,3 and 4 efforts today over 4 weeks. Number of efforts improved along with the times, dropping 25 seconds per 2500m over the month.

Steve and I used this set back in 2014 in our base building block. It was my main session leading into the Gold Coast Half Marathon 2014. Recently Emily was doing the same set week after week leading into the Canberra Marathon a couple of weeks ago. It's only part of the puzzle.

14km all up today for me. Two easy days to follow. Tomorrow will include some strides and a longer tempo run (1-2km).

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.
