Long Run #20 25km

Same long run as last week (West Basin LBG from home anti-clockwise) except much quicker. Minnie started in front of me (same loop), saw Michelle at half way who was running other direction (said Minnie was just up ahead), saw Steve and Jane in the car not long after I saw Michelle. Temperature in the mid-20s but felt much hotter with full sun.

All up 25km in 101 minutes with the middle 20km well under 4:00/km. By comparison the splits from last week and this week.

This week below: 534,418,402,359,358,357,402,354,406,345,351,340,350,346,352,350,357,354,359,356,410,421,415,404
532,437,423,418,422,421,407,410,428,410,409,406,412,355,359,414,410,402,401,417,420,419,419,422

Like last week a loosener in the afternoon to make 32km for the day.

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.
