Pacing Session

A small bunch today, one at a love-in, another with a lurgi, winter is upon us. A terrible day of weather (my work place a blackout for 4 hours), cold and windy with showers. Only marginally better by evening.

Of me: Nothing but the usual amount of km's, pacing others instead.

Heidze: 2000m,1600m,1200m with 200m walk recovery.aal the efforts slightly quicker than 4min/km...not easy in the cold and wind.

Helen: A late starter ran 3 x 1000m on the back of the small train all in 4:05-4:07.

Tori, Roget, Kathy an assortment of efforts. Bella tied to a post...only 5km for her today.

Well, managed to run the 6km BBQ Stakes in 27.59 without once looking at my watch, just ran this race sensorially, and it just happened as I predicted above...

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.
