tribute to missy

missy trained extremely hard over the winter. i managed to sneak in a few runs with herself and the other 2 muskateers. it was missy i was racing up some power hills when i realised my peroneal tendons were completely screwed way back in september. on another hill session i remember how hard that heart of hers was beating.

getting her form lexified took her to a new level. she finally had a running technique that matched her athletic physique and talent, was able to apply much more force into the ground and the results came big time.

missy worked really hard over the christmas break, had a very happy new year celebration, did some long runs and long intervals sessions, found that athletics/life balance.

missy had a fast streak in the new year
6.01.2011 1500m 5:35
13.01.2011 800m 2:37
20.01.2011 800m 2:39

then a heel issue (the 3rd heel issue of my friends, a lesson there for all of us)

missy is going to brisvegas, but only as support for all of us

good luck on getting on top of that heel issue missy. may 2011-12 season find you in melbum grabbing the medals you deserve in between the coffee and shopping xx

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.
