Long Intervals

Once again a continuation of the Tuesday sets we have been doing. Started the sets at 4:30, ended after 6:30. The weather gradually getting colder, the stiff afternoon breeze dying down after sunset.

Early set (just me): 2000m (623), 1600m (510), 1200m (350), 800m (228), 400m (68) with 200m recovery. Yet another session bettering all those done before. 7 seconds quicker than last week.

Middle set: Kathy, Roger, Tori: 2000m (paced by me), 1000m, 1000m all at 4:30/km

Final set: Heidze: 2000m, 1600m, 1200m, 400m (all paced by me) all well under 4:00/km, last 400 in 88.

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.
