Long Hill Intervals : 1400m x 3

Added another 400m onto the circuit we were using for our hilly intervals and included an extra hill. We last used this loop back in 2010 so it was interesting to see that the times were very similar today. The loop basically all up, interspersed with some false flats and including two nasty climbs and some shorter or flatter pinches.

Each effort was quicker than the last and the splits at 1km were the same or quicker than what we were running in previous weeks. First effort was 5:25 and the last 5:15 approx. Steve was hot on my tail today indicating very good things are coming his way soon. Some of the girls got lost and only did two efforts. Emma 2.5 due to the smoke haze from up north.

Tomorrow a 6km fun run I will use as a threshold effort out at Weston Creek. Steve and Jane will do as well.

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.
