Stromlo Maximum Threshold XC Run 8km 28:38
Saturday morning group session at Stromlo XC circuits. Weather drizzle to rain, no wind, track saturated and slow. With the weather poor I ran the session as an 8km maximum threshold run to get out of the wet and cold. I used the same hilly to undulating course as the ACT Masters XC Championships in a week.
Roger ran 8km solo. Helen and Gabe ran as long intervals on the same course, each loop of 1000m, 2500m x 2, 2000m done with 1-2 minutes recovery. Mia ran 1000m intervals.
Splits (500m): 1:37,1:45,1:46,1:41,1:42,1:51,1:47,1:48,1:43,1:43,1:57,1:52,1:51,1:44,1:55,1:49=28:38. If the track is wet next Sunday I will wear spikes, very slippery out there.
I wore a GoPro on the head during the run, a Hero8 Black I've had since late 2019. I've recorded a few of my regular runs in different places, many with Milli the Border Collie. I put the video in an editor and convert to 6x speed. Nobody wants to look at a 28 minute run video, not even me. But when I am running near full gas, kangaroos are grazing on the grass and I have to take a brief diversion off piste...well it's nice to capture that memory.
