Power Hills : Strength Hills

Another 18km today in the bush trails on Black Mountain and Mount Painter. 45 minute warm up, 5 x 100 metre power hills, 3 x strength hills (done at maximum threshold) of 6,5&4 minutes with 30 seconds jog between each effort. The course started in Frosty Hollow, finished almost at the summit of Mount Painter (two horses stopped me), warm down to home and then with Bella. I'm still a bit run down from this virus, have needed a nap before each run last 2 days. Somehow I've managed to run quite well after the nap. Yesterday was also 18km. Looks like I will complete four consecutive months average 120km+ for the first time since 2010.

Keith did 4 x 1500 metres on an undulating road with two hills. Splits: 5:36, 5:40, 5:44, 5:53. By coincidence Keith also met two horses, mine had female riders.

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.
