Stromlo XC 17km Recovery Run

I slept in this morning, forgot to set alarm. In the afternoon there was thunder, lightning, hail and torrential rain. I had to wait until the storms passed before heading out for a 17km run on the grass. Air quality moderate, no face mask needed. I am hoping the rain put out some fires and the smoke diminishes in coming days. More rain expected.

For a while today I thought the left calf was completely healed. It stiffened up during the day. In the run it was a little sore. I was running around 4:40/km, 20sec/km faster than previous days. I'm back up to full training volume, just have to wait until it's healed enough to run a faster tempo and then long intervals. It will happen gradually, no set date.

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.
