Zatopek 10 : B Grade : The Race

Almost everything went as I anticipated yesterday...cool and very windy with not even a grandstand for protection. Put on a positive head. Went with the leaders for 4400m, only taking twice into the wind. I survived an extra 2 laps than eventual 3rd place. Last 5km we all ran on our own braving the elements in solitude. 32:44 for the winner, 33:18 for me, similar gap to third. All up very happy, move into 2nd in the rankings provisionally.

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.
