Pacing Session : 5000m

Set the watch on 19 seconds/100m but aimed at 75 second laps today so just inside the beeps all the way. The set: 4 x 100m (17,16,15,14.4) ; 1600m (5:00) ; 1000m (3:07) ; 400m (75) ; 300m (51). The 100m strides first time under 15 this year, 1600m 4 seconds quicker than last week. I'm getting close to 5000m shape after 3 hard weeks. I kept the session shortish to recover for the half marathon.

Warm up and warm down of 14km with the girls including a solid 2.5km effort for them. 18km for the day.

Down in Bega Keith continued his solid run of form with a 4.6km threshold run on undulating terrain.

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.
