Zoom Out : Big Picture : Periodisation 2015-2018

It's a long haul to Malaga, Spain, World Masters Athletics Championships 2018. My head is going there. It's less than three years away!

Roughly every six months there is a world level meet northern hemisphere / southern hemisphere worth attempting. Toss in Tour de France cycling (every year since 2008, not stopping any time soon), maybe La Vuelta and some simple lifestyle choices can be made.

2016: Australian Masters Half Marathon January, Australian Masters Athletics Championships Adelaide April, World Masters Athletics Championships Perth October

2017: Australian Masters Athletics Championships ?? April, World Masters Games Auckland NZ May

2018: Oceania Masters Championships Dunedin NZ January, Australian Masters Athletics Championships ?? April, World Masters Athletics Championships Malaga Spain September

From this periodisation becomes six monthly rather than annually. Same structure, shorter cycles, I already tested this year. More in the next post.

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.
