Australian Running Festival 2015

In the mail today bib for Australian Running Festival 10km to be held on 11 April 2015...a reminder of what is to come. 2 May 2015 Puffing Billy Great Train Race 13.5km (Vic), 23 May 2015 Half Marathon Eve 5km (ACT), 13 June 2015 ACT XC Championships 12km, 4 July 2015 Pennington 16km XC (ACT), September 2015 Canberra Times Fun Run 10km.

In between races high volume, high intensity training, easy week prior to races. I'm not working in July or August...all roads lead to Lyon, France and the World Masters Athletics Championships and a nice holiday after that at Saint Malo.



Today an easy 14km out and back to the Arboretum. To be honest I didn't feel that good...125km in the legs last 7 days, 11 huge weeks (13 of 15). Very much looking forward to that taper.

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.
