AIS Track : Progressive Step Down Long Intervals

Not racing tomorrow, on track duty. A session today to replace the 3000m others will do. It was warm, sunny and some breeze but not enough to produce slow times.

The set: 4.5km warm up, 4 x 100m, rehearsal for 5000m / 10000m kick down with 2 miles to go which was 2000m 6:23 (started with 80 second lap, progressively quicker), 200m walk, 1000m 3:06 (start with 78 second lap, accelerate with 400m remaining), 200m walk, 200m 33 seconds. 6km warm down.

If all is well I will aim for my last very hard session on Friday morning at Stromlo but will discuss with others first. It may be a slightly easier session at Stromlo on Saturday morning. Sunday is definitely 4km XC handicap at Stromlo again.

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.
