Long Run...another one

Another easy recovery run, 90 minutes all up which is the maximum I've set myself for a year. Quite snappy at the end, ran with Bella in the first part. At people age of 75 she is able to maintain 4:00/km for 8km but no quicker unless she sees some kangaroo.

Ankle is fine, I feel it sometimes but it is not sore to run on at all. Still icing multiple times a day. Even if I am good it will be weeks until it is rock solid. Such a long time until things matter luckily. One week less than a year until it really matters (World Masters in Lyon)and almost 8 months until Australian Masters Athletics in Bankstown. Time is still on my side so I can be patient.

Tomorrow we begin again with a couple of sets of strides and some 5000m pace work with long recovery. Will probably be some undulating 800m efforts at Stromlo.

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.
