Lactate Monday : Across the Grounds

Monday is speed and lactate day during track season. Two days of recovery runs follow allowing a very hard session on the Monday of no more than 2000m of efforts before racing on Thursday evening. All of us did the sets today in different locations and slightly different sets but we all got the job done and showed some progress towards what is a very long 7 months of potential track racing. Of course we don't race every week. Today windy, warm to hot and sunny.

Steve on wet grass in morning: 8 x 200m, six in 32 seconds, two in 31 seconds. Quickest set this season
Keith on undulating dirt: 4 x 100m (16.6, 16.7, 16.5, 16.3); 5 x 400m (74, 75, 76, 77, 77)
Helen on grass with swooping magpie: 5 x 300m all in 3:50s/km
Minnie, Kathy and I on track 4 x 100m, 5 x 300m: Minnie best set this season, Kathy best set this season (63-65s)
Of me: 4 x 100m (16,15,14,14.26), 5 x 300m,(47.97,47.71,47.25,47.22,48.09). Best set this season.

Too many infants on track for safety, will revert to old track next Monday or possibly Stromlo. Not location for previous weeks.

Track on Thursday: 3000m 6pm, 800m 7pm, 6 lap handicap 8pm. I'll go full gas in the 3000m regardless of conditions.

Yesterday in ACT Masters XC handicap Frylink short course results below. It was a nice morning for brunch.
