Chartres

The final day to change the placings in Tour de France in a time trial from Bonneval to Chartres...Long and Flat. We are 45 minutes drive away and in the same Etap Hotel for 2 days. Start of the final day is not far from here but neither is Versailles???<br>
For me the end of 4 big weeks. Lost the plot on sessions this week...basically running up hill several times a day and down, often fast. Loads of volume (130km+ average this month), not much specific. Will start fixing that up in 4 days.<br> Weight? Piled on a kilo or two in the first 10 days...then stopped eating pizza!! The scales will tell when I get back, my guess is race weight +2kg.<br> Back in OZ I know the GIRLS and boys are fit and have been looking after Bella. Some great Tuesday sessions done...I miss them...I miss you all.



Vatan is where a stage of the 2009 Tour de France was host for a depart. We spent a night there, did a run...this morning I pushed the boundary a little further...a bit more up that road, more along that path...voila...magic

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.
