Canberra Times 10km (and 5km) Fun Run

Perfect weather today for both the run and lingering after...really enjoyed the day. Plenty of friends out there to watch and cheer on...all did well on what is a slowish course.

Some rough as guts results (will update when the official results appear):

10km: kt 42 ; heidze 43 ; Maria 44 ; kathy 45 ; missy 46 ; julia 47 ; minnie 48 ; pete 52

5km: gt 21:25

Of me: Splits: 3:03, 3:24, 3:17, 3:35, 3:35, 3:21, 3:20, 3:23, 3:27, 3:30 = 33:58
Really struggled after 3km today. Felt great until I hit the rises between 3km-5km when I put in two bad kms. A pack caught me up containing 6-7, I just hung in there until there were only two of us left with 1km to go, sat on last man standing James all the way to the line. No sprint finish for me, would have felt awful stealing a place after having sat in for 5km. The result 30sec slower than 2011 but very happy with it considering I ran the half marathon last weekend. At times my form was very good. Looking forward to a good session on Tuesday to get me fired up for Saturday and the Tan Relays in Melbourne.

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.
