Cool morning for Steve, a set of 2 X 2500m in 9:24 and 9:12 with 2 minutes recovery. I was also up early, a couple of steep hill loops, 17km for the day. Next effort on Wednesday, a maximum threshold run.
All runs done from home this morning with no wind and clear skies. 20km for the morning. Interrupted by watching the Paris-Roubaix cycling on TV in the wee hours pre-Dawn.
Heavy rain with Gale Force Winds Overnight and continuing today. This weather system should move off the coast in a day or two. Today just indoor training with the odd walk outside to get food at the local store. Tour de France commences this weekend in Lille. Even though I've run over most of the stages over previous years I still get excited every year when it comes around again. The weather today here is very similar to when I visited Lille in 2014 for the Grand depart, cold, miserable and still excited to be there. I got out there for a second Fast Paced run this afternoon on my HillLoop. No change in the weather and another 15km done for the day.
Early morning trip to Glasshouse Rocks Beaches for a set of 2 x 2.5km Beach Intervals Racing Munchkin the Border Collie. Weather warm and sunny on firm, fast sand at dead low tide. 2 x 500m single track hill efforts to complete the session. Back at home a 4km race pace effort. In the afternoon a long warm down.
