ACTVAC Track : 3000m

Still in hard training for all of us, today we were delivered some decent weather...dead still, warm and without direct sunlight but oppressively humid.

Kathy 12:42?, Emma 11:52?, Steve 10:00, Me 9:40

Of me: 144km in the legs last 7 days made it hard work. Splits: 308, 312, 3:20...I really died the last 3 laps and to make it worse I miscounted the laps so didn't finish off as well as I could have.

Timetable is out for the Australian Masters Athletics Championships. Not what I expected really. In the 10000m we race with the women. Most of the women are better than the men so no change there really.

In the 5000m we are racing M50 and M45 together. That race could potentially be my best of the championship weekend (on track) with some good runners in both ages.

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.
