Long Intervals

Identical session to last week for me. The set: 2000m (6:35), 1600m (5:17), 1200m (3:57), 800m (2:30), 400m (70) with 200m recovery. The conditions not nearly as good as last week (windy) but the times quicker.
These sessions training a little slower, trying to make some running technique changes. After only two sessions noticing the difference, starting each interval slower and building into the set with skill instead of fatigue
After that a tempo run with Janene in the bush, Tori late. Saw Kathy as well (recovering well). Yesterday Maria and Helen the usual Tuesday session 3 x 1km in 4 mins. Heidze also on the mend from a lergy. Jodie the half marathon on Sunday. Minnie recovered well from her half...did 3 hours shopping as a warm down:-)
On track tonight Deek and some indigenous athletes.

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.
