Stromlo Long XC Intervals

Up very early this morning with a 6am start, just Steve and I. The usual set: 2000m warm up, 4 x 100m, 2000m (647), 1500m (452), 1200m (353), 800m (229), 400m (71) with Steve just behind and in front on the last effort (another best ever set for Steve). 2000m warm down.

8am for the next group. By this time very warm. The set: 2000m warm up, 4 x 100m, 2000m max threshold (7:49), 3 x 500m (1:40), 2000m warm down.

After all this running a brunch close by.

Of me: Once again not warmed up enough and probably too fatigued for the first 2000m, then a best ever set following. I can say now that I've regained all that I lost from the rib injury (which are still sore to touch after almost 6 weeks). Glad that is out of the way. A long run tmoz with some threshold intervals.

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.
