BBQ Stakes Hilly 6km Maximum Threshold XC Run 22:16 ; Keith 8 x 1 minute efforts

Lunch time low key community run BBQ Stakes used as a hilly 6km maximum threshold XC run as I have over the last few weeks. Today 30 seconds quicker than recent efforts which were all within 5 seconds of each other. All the long hilly runs and intervals made a difference. It will be my last big effort until ACT Masters XC Championships on August 23rd. I'm back in good form again. Splits (500m): 1:53,1:52,1:59,1:55,1:46,1:54,2:02,2:00,1;36,1:39,1:48,1:42,

Keith ran 8 x 1 minute efforts, 1 minute jog recovery on gravel road. Weather down near the coast was similar to here with cool temperature, some cloud and wind.

Joy oh joy, some cycling on TV with Criterium du Dauphine beginning this evening.

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.
