Not Parkrun, Glasshouse Rocks Long Beach Intervals, 2 x 3km ; Surf Beach, 1km ; Long Warm Down ; Steve 6,5,4,3,2,1 Minute Efforts ; Humpback Whale Breaching

Pre-dawn start to a Long Beach Interval set of 2 x 3km efforts at Glasshouse Rocks Beaches racing Munchkin the Border Collie at dead low tide, sand firm and fast. After the set we ran a 1km effort at Surf Beach followed by a long Warm Down where I got lucky and saw a Humpback Whale breaching out of the water repeatedly just past Glasshouse Rocks.
Steve ran a set of 6,5,4,3,2,1 Minute efforts at his patch with his first 2 intervals at 3:40/km, the fastest split 3:12/km.

Long Intervals

Of me: Early set. Same set as last 2 weeks, quicker again. 2000m (631), 1600m (5:13), 1200m (3:57)[first 4 efforts at 10km pace], 800m (2:30), 400m (69)...all with 200m recovery. Running technique much better. Form much better...not sure how much the form is due to iron jab or 5 weeks of consistent training and some great sessions. Of the others: I paced 5200m at exactly 4mins/km. Roget and Tori did what they could at that pace. Maria did 3 x 1000m. Janene on her own did similar to other weeks in the 4:10-4:15 range. Heidze did 1600m, 1200m, 800m, 400m and looking very comfortable in doing so. Kathy some strides. Helen this morning 4 x 7 minutes.

Big Weather Event Brewing ; Indoor Training ; Australian Masters Athletics Championships Mixed XC race

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.
