Australian Masters Athletics : 10000m & W55-64 1500m

Didn't get to race the younger runners today, I am too old. It was M50-59 and W40-49. The young ones early race at 8am Christopher Sullivan TAS ran 34:42, but was under 33:20 pace at 2000m.
In the 945am race: 76, 74 my first two laps, had lapped the field by 4600m, lapped everyone again except second place. After the initial 2 laps I was bang on 33:20 pace, had a slow 9th kilometre and a 72 final lap for 33:28. Faster than in my runs in Melbourne and Canberra. Better conditions today(warm with a breeze here), more people to lap more often today.







None of my friends raced 10km today, all in for 5000m tmoz. Kathy raced 1500m This afternoon 1st w60 in 5:51. ACTVAC runners Geoff 4th 37, David 41. Women were Fiona 41:02, Andrea 41:48 and Tracey 44:02 in W40, Deb 41:39, Carolyn 45:39, Claire 47:43 in W45 (all Tasmanians except Claire).
Very happy with that run. Now to back up for 5000m tomorrow.

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.
