Long Run x 3

Wednesday and Thursday and Friday the same basic loop of 90 minutes+ through the bush and taking a diversion to see the track resurface progress. That makes a weekly total of 140km + this week.

The chest slightly better. No need for drugs on training runs or tape. Still using a compression top. Still hurts all day. Still can't sleep at night. Still 3-4 weeks before it is better and I can breathe properly again. Happy to see some signs of recovery.

The track has been laid 120m approx. My guess is they are laying 30-40m a day. It's starting to look good and from what I can see it looks like it will be ready on time.

Kathy had a return to form on Tuesday with 23:35 for 5km. I big improvement fro the week before.

Keith is still training hard. Running in Albury a 5000m this weekend.

Steve is recovering from the 10km up north in 37:50 or so.

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.
