Keith at Merimbula Fun Run ; ACT Masters XC Handicap 4km

Keith at Merimbula Fun Run 10km 1st M50,6th, 37:53. In 2014 38:23 13th, 2013 38:17 9th. That's a great run for Keith and not unexpected. He's been working very hard and doing all the sessions.

ACT Masters XC Handicap 4km SK 3rd official, KT 4th official. I didn't quite catch either 6th official in 14:08 PB. 2014 injured 15+, 2013 14:13, 2012 14:18. Splits: 3:02, 3:36 (6:19) at dead turn mostly down undulating, 3:59, 3:50 mostly up undulating into wind. Once again not unexpected.

Only 10km this morning so I have to get out there soon and do another 14km. It's turning into a gale with snow possibly on the way this evening, definitely on the mountains.

Minnie, Tori, Gabe and Missy out at Stromlo again this morning doing intervals. Minnie's first training run for World Masters Athletics 8km XC in Lyon.

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.
