AIS Track : Short Lactate Intervals

Final session of this type before Australian Masters Athletics Championships. Only Steve and I doing the session of 7 x 400m + 200m with 400m jog recovery. After a 70 seconds first effort I put in a couple of 68s until I was totally stuffed with 1000m of running to go. A real struggle against the lactate but still managed a 30 second final 200m to end up with the same cumulative as last week of 3000m in 8:38, Steve 8:56. It was very hot out there and maybe the hardest session I've done all summer.

I have two days to recover for the next play race over 5000m. It will be interesting to see how I freshen up as I still push towards an average of 120km/week for the month of February. I've got a schedule drawn up for March as well with the same workload as Marathon de Paris is drawing near.

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.
