Keith in Bega 6,5,2 minute efforts : Future World Masters Athletics Championships

Cold and windy still in Bega for Keith. So windy Keith cut the set short making 6 minute (1540m), 5 minute (1270m) and 95 seconds (400m). Keith's been going well so a shorter set won't hurt.

Yesterday another fartlek session for me and two runs for the day. I'm back over 130km last 7 days, no niggles whatsoever. Next race will be Canberra Times Fun Run 10+km two weeks after I get home. I plan to race a bit on track when I get home and stop the racing in late November for 4-6 weeks.

Looking forward 2018 World Masters Athletics Championships has been awarded to Malaga, Spain and in September. It will be as hot as Lyon. I've already looked at flights and hotels, it looks like I can make it a plan. Expect close to 9000 athletes.

2018 World Masters Athletics Championships is in Perth in October-November. I expect to race the same three events as I did in Lyon. 1500m is not an option given how sore I was after the 1000m for a couple of days. I'll possibly head over early and spend taper week on Rottnest Island.

Before that is Australian Masters Athletics Championships in Adelaide, April 2016. I've booked air fares for that...my next big goal.

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.
