Le Menuires : Val Thorens : Hills

Dropped Minnie half way up the mountain (a long flattish one today), drove to Le Menuires leaving her 10km to ascend while I ran from 1730m asl to 2000m asl, back down, a bit more up (total tempo 25 mins), then the pique nique up the road further still at Val Thorens where they were still skiing.
This climb adds to the list of Tour de France ascents we have been bagging over the years. Not many better things to do than climb a mountain and stroll through a village or have a pique nique at the top.

Thanks for the beautiful scenic pictures of your journey through the European continent Bruce. Makes me so want to be there too...

Keep up the great work and also your excellent training regimen.

I am so 'over' working, I need a nice holiday, but unfortunately, this year is being spent on rejuvenating the house (it has been neglected these last five or so years), whilst I have been 'swanning' around the world rejuvenating myself.

Oh well, there is always next year to go on holidays again, can't wait...

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.
