Power Hills : 5 x 22-18 seconds ; Semi-Marathon de Paris 2016
20 minute warm up, from standing start 5 x power hills on steep incline with jog back recovery and 5 minute warm down. Splits: 22.1, 19.7, 19.1, 18.2, 18.1. That's 0.5 second quicker for each of the last 3 efforts in the previous week so another PB set. Everything moving in the right direction. I will need another 60 minutes this evening to maintain 130km for the week.
Looks likely I will travel to Paris in March 2016 to run Semi-Marathon de Paris (21.1km). That's a few weeks before Australian Masters Athletics Championships in Adelaide. I should recover by then but not ideal for racing on the track. That would mean no trip to France in July 2016 and free up some time to train for World Masters Athletics Championships in Perth late October 2016. I'm thinking I will spend the week before on Rottnest Island in my chill out taper camp.
Course for Semi-Marathon de Paris is basically a reverse of the middle section of Marathon de Paris. That means a flat to down start and an undulating to up finish. Not the fastest course in the world but could be fun.
