Short Intervals : Long Run

Could see the likely thunderstorms eventuating this afternoon so ran to work this morning just in case. When I saw the rain on the radar at 3:35p I left work and ran to the track. Did 4 x 100m plus 8 x 200m (35,34,33,32,33,33,32,32)with 200m recovery jog, the last 4 intervals in light rain. By the time the others arrived it was pouring and with some lightning and thunder. I watched them complete the same set from the dry shed. Shortly after they finished the rain eased off and I was escorted part of the way home by Kathy and Helen.

In total almost 2 hours running and 23km. I only have to run 10km tmoz to take me to 120km for the week. Will average that 10km distance until next Tuesday when I will only have 70-80km in the legs for the week. Will probably only run the 3000m on Thursday...not sure how hard I will make it hurt, the forecast is 33 degrees.

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.
