Power Intervals

Too hot, far too hot but with the aid of some ice and water we got through. 37 degrees and a warm wind in the back straight...full sun.

Cast of plenty today including a couple of sprinters who played rabbit and helped me to my best session for the summer.

Set 1: (garry,geoff,kathy,emma*,helen*) 200,200,300,300,200,200

Set 2: (just me) 7x400m+200m=3000m total time=8:23 (even managed a couple of 65s...thanx for the help
then
Set 3: (sk,missy,heidze,maria and just me doing the pacing) 5x400m (75,74,74,73,73)

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.
