Recovery Run 22km incl Tempo efforts 3:39/km

Sunday recovery run of 22km on forest trails, some hills. Included were a few tempo efforts at 3:39/km or better, the longest being 1500m on a flat section. I'm running at least weekly 6km+ XC efforts faster than this. Inclusion today was trying to find a relaxed rhythm.

This week I have a 600m set planned for Monday or Tuesday, 6km threshold on Wednesday, light XC set on Saturday and 8km hilly XC handicap on Sunday. I'll try to squeeze in a longer recovery run during the week.

Track starts again in a few weeks. I won't change my weekly routine much unless there is a key race distance scheduled at the right time of evening (late). One of those will be the One Hour on track.

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.
