Long Run @ Arboretum

Long solo run out in the Arboretum this morning on the usual loop. I didn't work very had and really enjoyed the warm weather, sun and no wind. This nice spell is set to continue until the weekend at least and great to make the most of it while it lasts.

The split back to home was 83 minutes and another 10 mins to cast my pre-poll election vote at the post office. 20km plus an afternoon loosener of 4k keeps the volume at 120km for this week. It will trickle down from Wednesday on and be below 100km by the race start on Sunday.

Meanwhile down in Bega Keith is firing up for Australian Masters Games as well. He did the same set as I did yesterday with some of the splits not too far behind mine. He should be able to pack a punch in the 5000m at Geelong.

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.
