World Athletics Masters XC Championships Racing : Training Update

Given the depth and quality of the fields already entered in the World Athletics Masters XC Championships in February (entries don't close for almost a month) I've ditched a multi-day event leading up to the Australian Masters Athletics Championships in March. The training won't change much, I've already done a mix of hill, XC and leg speed work since early November. First race for me in the Australian Masters Athletics Championships is a 10000m track which will get me back into a synthetic groove. The taper is a bit jumbled, I'll have to sort that out. On this Saturday I'm aiming for a fast Parkrun at a quick venue. I can adjust the training after that if necessary. This Thursday a short, flat Time Trial. Friday some leg speed strides(not too fast). Saturday Parkrun.

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.
