Keith in Bathurst ; Recovery Days in Parc Parilly

Keith has been walkabout for a week, doing all the usual sessions in far away places like Bathurst. Even when travelling Keith still gets the job done. It's nice to know it's still cold back home.

It's going to be hot here for the remainder of the championships, up to 36 degrees and the 10000m at 230pm. I just have to take it as it comes.

Wednesday a recovery run in Parc Parilly of an hour, decathlon in progress on day two. Retraced the cross country loop without the people. Easy to do, the grass has been trampled by herd of elephants. Felt great, no niggles. Definitely up for the 5000m.

Thursday another 60 minute run in Parc Parilly including 8 x 100m strides on the warm up track to get ready for that 5000m on Friday. Retured via track in Bron, venue for Friday. Very hot weather.

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.
