AIS Short Intervals @ 5000m pace

Once again my session coincided with the iron study. I had to pick my windows and slot in so as not to bother them too much. 4 x 100m, 1200m 3:45, 1000m 3:08, 800m 2:30 all with the beeping watch each 19 seconds per 100m or 76 seconds per lap, 15:50 pace. My aim to be just a little under target each 400m and even paced. 200m walk between efforts. Perfect conditions for running. Wasn't difficult to maintain. I will try to build on the distance covered on both the Tuesday and Thursday sessions, mindful that I also need to complete a slower session on grass at Stromlo on Saturdays.

The good days are coming a little more often now that I am used to 120km per week again. It will just be a 20km jog to work and back over the mountain tmoz.

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.
