Hilly Forest Trails 19km incl 5 x 3 minutes : Keith 5 x 400m : Steve 4 x 500m : Col du Tourmalet

Afternoon session on hilly forest trails in the Arboretum. 19km all up including 5 x 3 minute efforts, 1 minute jog recovery. Pace starting at 3:33/km working down to 3:16/km. The best I've felt all week. Keith ran 5 x 400m on grass track. Splits: 81,81,79,83. Good speed for Keith. Steve also quick running 4 x 500m by the lake. Splits: 3:22/km,3:32/km,3:31/km,3:23/km. Slowest splits were into the wind.

Tour de France finishes with the mountains this evening with climbs on Col du Tourmalet and Luz Ardiden. I spent 10 nights all up at La Mongie, just below Col du Tourmalet in 2009,2010 and 2011 waiting for LÉtape du Tour and Tour de France. Training Diaries and photos.

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.
