Training Sunday morning was a most enjoyable Stromlo session in cool, still and sunny conditions. Ewen & I enjoyed running on the grass, some of it bare foot and bare chest in my case, while Andrew, Abi & Lucia ran five by 1km intervals. The goal was around 4 minutes for each km interval: Andrew averaged just over 3:50, Abi around 3:55, not bad after completing her first 20k training run the day before, and Lucia skipped the third and averaged under 4 minutes too, her fastest being 3:50 and her slowest equaling her previous best at Stromlo of 4:01.
