5000m Threshold Run

Cool and still at Stromlo for a 6.45am session, just Steve and myself. Same session as last week (done with Keith as well).

The set: 2000m warm up, 4 x 100m strides, 5000m on the hilly 2.5km circuit in 2 parts: 3300m staying all together (mid-threshold or 3:32/km for me) ; final 1700m at maximum threshold (3:25/km for me). 2000m warm down.

Final times: Me 17:34, Steve 17:49

Splits while together: 2km 6:58, 2.5km 8:59, 3km 10:34, 3.3km 11:41

Similar splits to last week with Steve able to come home quicker.

I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
