Lactate Intervals

The hard core gang out there this afternoon in a nice weather. I actually did less than the rest (I missed the 500m deliberately). Helen also fatigued from the one hour. The session 600m,500m,400m,300m,200m roughly 1-2min recovery starting just undercurrent 1500m pace, then kicking down. Best on track today Maria (totally on fire) and Tony. GT600 - 2:01.97 = +1.97s 500 - 1:40.61 = +0.61s 400 - 1:17.89 = -2.11s 300 - 0:56.19 = -3.81s 200 - 0:37.52 = -2.48s 200 - 0:35.17 = -4.83s 100 - 0:16.10 = -4.90s

Of me: 1:46,68,47,31...the legs very heavy, not sure I will get up for Thursday. Might have to resort to all the tricks.

Start lists for the Victorian 5000m have been published, I watch the C grade video last night and pre-planned my race. Will go with it all. Only jogging and rest until then.

The plan: Hang back for the first 800m, 1km 3:05-3:10, 3km <9:30, solid last 2km, big last 800m. Take as many rides as I can at the right pace.

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.
