Pacing Session : Lactate Intervals

Five of us at the track tonight making final preparations for nationals.

Helen 1500m training. Same set as Saturday but quicker. 1000m ; 300m ; 200m with 30 second recovery. 5 seconds under target on each effort.

Heidze 800m training, Straight 600m effort approximately same pace as last 600m of an 800m. 1:46 or 2:21 pace

Kathy and Maria 800m training. Same set as Heidze. Maria 2:45 pace. Kathy 2:51 pace.

Of me: Paced the lot of them. The 600m with Heidze similar to my 1500m pace.

The weather for Melbourne looks windy always, hot on Friday, cool the other days. Perth was hot and windy, still ran reasonable times. Windy makes it more likely than not I will line up for the 1500m as well as the others. Looking forward to that much more than a 10000m at noon in 30 degree heat.

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.
