Snow

Cold front moved through overnight, loads of snow down to 1000m asl, most of the mountain passes closed, lucky we moved off the mountain.
This morning drizzle, not above 10 before lunch, sun came out, not a bad afternoon. Drove 50km to a different valley, d'Arc.
Long run up Col de la Madelaine from the valley below. Over 400m of climbing at an average of 7%, stopped at the 800m level.
87 minutes of running today. 127km last 7 days.
Have been doing planks, must do before consuming wine, not possible during or after.

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.
