Tempo Run : 1500m

Another cold and breezy day, late in the afternoon trot to the track towed by the dog, set the watch on 19 per 100m, 1500m 444,let the dog tow me home again. Do I risk one more tempo? Tmoz is the last day to do? Probably not! Too risky the niggle in this cold.

SBx all the best for the C2S, I know you are due for a scorcher, and let's hope we see you for the whole race on TV like last year.

Ran the BBQ today, slowly getting some form back, managed 27.22, my best for a while. Helen ran a screamer, she started 30 seconds behind me, but had caught me within the first km. I tried to maintain a steady pace for the first 4km, then ran the last 2km in 4mins each.

Managed to catch Helen and held her off at the end, she is so strong...

Oh almost forgot, Helen ran with a mug and a cup of coffee in her tummy, that's probably why she shot past me so soon, lol.

Great run SBx - 48mins, you must have been in between Jess Trengrove and Emily Brichachek, JBHifi and L&P 54mins, they are so good those two, and Minnie running 68 wow that is great too.

Saw you at the start and also saw Keith Bateman during the footage, he looks so fit, also saw Pete Cullen finish and Johno (Pommie Army guy), great coverage this year more focus on the crowds.

Liam Adams ran a brilliant last 300m, he absolutely smashed Michael Shelley, and Marty Dent got a good third.

Catch up to you round the traps, and once again great run SBx.

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.
