ACTVAC Track

Turned up early for some 200s to see how the legs were post Sunday. Still not recovered, could only do 33s without straining.

800m: Started heat 1 but none of the girls made the lane draw. Did a warm up 2:21 then 2 min later paced them in heat 2
Heat 2: kj 227 (3rd PB in 12 days) ; e 230 (season best) ; h 233 (1 sec off season best) ; kathy 257. All either/and/or felt good, ran quick. sb even splits 2:24. Same pace speed as in training last 2 weeks. The girls are catching up. Not long until they are racing me in the home straight.

After 800s the one hour. As per previous post, I toyed with this, would have done if not for 14km on Sunday. Probably the only M45 Australian record I had a chance of getting. Rob S had a crack earlier in the year, came up a few hundred metres short. I expect I would come up short as well. Not completely out of reach, but a run that could ruin a season. The M50 record is a whole lot easier.

helen & roget did, although not while holding hands. Helen had a crack at the W50 ACT record, missed it by 110 metres 13483m. Well done Helen. Roget chasing Helen all the way.

Heidze: Sorry, we did some 200s Tuesday, you and me 4, Kathy 3, short lactate intervals...

Tmoz: I have the day off work. Out to stromlo for some long intervals.

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.
