Track Tempo Run 1600m

I couldn't resist the perfect weather. Warm, sunny, no wind.

6.5km warm up, 4 x 100m (18,16,15,14.7), 1600m even paced 78 second laps with no kick, 7.5km warm down.

I had an influenza vaccination on Thursday (5 days ago). On the weekend and over the last couple of days I've had what I think is a reaction to the vaccination. Mild fever all Saturday night. Chest infection Sunday night. Running nose Monday morning. General lethargy over the weekend and today.

I got through all the sessions I needed to do. Today the speed was better than Sunday so I think things are on the mend. At least this year the health issues happened a week before, seem to be milder, and didn't happen the day before the AMA Championships. I should be OK by the weekend.

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.
