ACTVAC 1500m Championships
Brief results: Emma low 5:20s ; Helen 5:48 ; Maria 5:42 ; Me 4:32. For all of us within a few couple of seconds away from last years peak form and already in contention for a podium. Kathy did 2 x strong 3000m and a slow 1500m (due to post tib issues from strength training).
Of me: 125km in the legs for the last 7 days, ran to the track and back as warm up and warm down, only had time to fit two strides in, was in bed watching tv (Grand Designs) 30 minutes before start of the race...low key:-)
We all did a 5 x 300m lactate session on Tuesday with 1 minute recovery. Some a little fatigued from that last evening.
Next Thursday my final track race before nationals with the club 5000m championships. I will not be tapered so nothing under 16 minutes I expect. The other factor with club races is lapping all the runners...I lapped 4 in the 1500m last evening, it only gets worse with longer it gets.
