Longish Run

Mulligans (not) Flat the venue today for a longish run. Janene,Minnie,Pete,Mia,Heidze,L&P,Charlie,Kelley,Tori,SB,Garry on velo the roll call. No Bella allowed to save the antechinus and other critters. For most a 12km run, some a little further, some faster, some slower.

Of me: A nice pace with Heidze, mostly around 4:20-4:30s per kilometre on undulating terrain. An extra 8km this afternoon with Bella to keep a promise to self of 40km for the weekend to kickstart my first 120km week for quite a while.

Post run at 'Sirens' for brunch, two strong coffee and beans+cheese on toast:-)
The training pattern set now. Group training each Tuesdays (1km reps on 1 minute)& Saturdays (long hilly intervals), either a long run or tempo/race on Sundays, Thursday another session on my own for the moment, running to work and back over the mountain on the other week days.

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.
