AIS Track : Direct Preparation Session for 5000m

Very warm and windy, the sun out...I found it overwhelming today and suffered a little heat stress post-session.

The set: 1000m at 5000m pace, 3 x 400m at 1500m pace, 2 x 200m at 1500m pace. Steve and I ran 3:10/km for the 1000m, 72s for the 400s and 36s for the 200s. I paced Helen through 4:10/km for 1000m and 4:00 pace for her 400m efforts. No 200s for Helen, she has a 3km effort in 2 days. Kathy ran a long warm up and 3 x 300m hills then off to a dinner.

The weather looks windy for Thursday but hopefully not as windy at 8pm. I will run 5000m.

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.
