Hilly Long Run

How do you describe ascending from 1850m asl to 2400m asl while running through snow, marsh, straight up the ski slopes of Montgenevre? I guess that's how! Wot a view...and we found 4 euro in coinage...how did all those marmotte not find them.
60 minutes all up, 30 minutes all down. Voila.
The pique nique back in the resort, the usual baguette, fromage suisse, concombre, tomat, moutarde dijon, avocat and a special treat mother's day, tarte clafoutis cherises..delicious.

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.
