Geelong 4 x 6 minutes : Festival of Cadel Evans : Steve and Stromlo Elf at Stromlo

In Geelong for Cadel Evans and his last race, also a citizens ride and UCI race for women which were on today.

In between events 90 minutes including 4 x 6 minute efforts with 30 seconds float recovery, around the same pace I ran in the 2nd half 5km on Thursday night.

Great to see women in cycling supported so well and a great race unfolded with Rachael Neylon killing everyone with a well timed long range attack. Tmoz back for more to see Cadel race and a long run before. The wind played havoc today, numerous crashes all through the day.

Some nice numbers from Steve and Stromlo Elf this morning, the usual set. Both showing some good form, Steve closer again to his very best. KT, Maria and Helen out there too.

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.
