AIS Track : 4 x 800m

A continuation of our 5000m pace set. The three of us there again. The set: 2000m warm up, 4 x 100m strides, 4 x 800m with 400m jog recovery, 2000m warm down.

Jane on her lonesome, a consistent set of around 3"00 for each effort. Steve forgot the spikes, two good efforts on target before the lactate levels went through the roof (not easy running fast in training shoes.

Of me: 2:32, 2:31, 2:31, 2:31. Very consistent set, always in control and relaxed...I did have both spikes on for the first time since the achilles injury in that 10000m over 3 months ago...they made a difference this evening.

I did contemplate an XC race on Saturday. Instead we will do the 2000m step-down set at the same venue early.

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.
