Stromlo XC Circuits Fartlek Session plus Short Time Trial

Minus 5 degrees overnight, full sun and light winds followed, great for running once the day warmed up. Today a repeat of the fartlek session at Stromlo XC circuits I ran yesterday of 2 x 90 seconds, 4 x 60 seconds, 4 x 30 seconds, 4 x 15 seconds with equal duration recovery plus a 1500m time trial to finish. Easy running on Friday, Saturday Parkrun. In good weather I'd be ripe to test my PB on the course. I hope the rain holds off.
Steve did run the same fartlek set this morning in minus 5 degrees that felt like minus 8. Pace was quick, I guess to stay warm was a big motivation. Splits: 90 seconds 3:21/km-3:31/km ; 60 seconds 3:18/km-3:24/km ; 30 seconds 3:14/km-3:27/km ; 15 seconds 3:14/km-3:34/km.

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.
