A return to Calwell oval grass track for a session of cruise intervals.
It's not long tempo running as I stop after each 5 laps for a drink and to change direction.
As usual I run in lane 5, bare feet. The grass is perfect, recently mowed with the dried grass easy to kick out of the way.
Started with the first 5 laps at 4' 31" pace, then gradually a little faster to run the 4th set at 4' 17" pace for an final average run pace at 4' 24". Nice and comfortable without any sprinting as I want to keep them to a rhythm.
A man with some golf clubs the only other person around. It looked like he needed more time down there, sprayed a few left & right but none in my direction.
A perfect morning for a training session. Rode mountain bike back to work afterwards as a recovery, and back home after work. All good at the moment.

Lane 6 was in good nick when I used it last week. Hope they keep the water up to it over summer.

What's your next goal event Two Fruits? Are you aiming for another ultra this year or early 2013?
