5000m Pacing Intervals : 4 x 800m
My 16km run this afternoon included a stop off at the track. 4 x 100m, 4 x 800m with 200m recovery. Efforts: 2:34, 2:33, 2:33, 2:33. All of the intervals done by feel and not so fast as to cause injury in the late afternoon chill. That was a much better session than yesterday but still loads of work to do. The effort times and recovery will reduce over coming weeks.
Once again the heavy load from running 130-140km per week is leaving me flat and some days are better than others. I will have a similar taper as I did for Gold Coast Half by working hard all the way up to the Wednesday or Thursday before City2Surf and then taper hard with just a couple of 5km runs...only a semi-taper.
The first major goal of Australian Masters Games 5000m and 1500m is not far away in early October so working towards that.
