Long Sunday Run : Annecy ; Keith in Bega Park Run ; Helen in Canada

Long Sunday run by the lake, mostly of sand/gravel verge of bike highway and through the old town markets. All up 110 minutes. Nice weather again and warming up to 35 degrees today. Not sure what the plan is for the rest of the day. Might start with a swim and picnic at the lake.

Keith in Bega ParkRun gave himself a handicap and someone to chase. Splits: 3.45, dodging back runners),3.35, on coming traffic, 3.36, same as km 2), 3.42, up hill and a cause way, 3.56, pain in my back caused me to slow down. Overall time was 18:34-6th over the line-which was second quickest on the day. Winner was 17:59, course was muddy slippery and still uneven first 1400 and last 1200.

Helen in Canada has been training the house down including all the sessions and long runs up to 20km. Also icluded lots of walking and a couple of bike rides.

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.
