Steve Short Lactate XC Intervals ; Recovery Run : Kings Park 4 x 100m Strides

Steve this afternoon on grass a short lactate set we do often when it's needed. The set: 600m 1:57, 500m 1:33, 400m 74, 300m 54, 200m 32. Recovery 60 seconds. Steve's almost on par with last year now and it's only taken a few weeks to get there...better things to come.

This morning the 40 minute run to Kings Park via Jacobs ladder. I don't recommend this route when fitness groups are using it. It's not good for my ego being passed by all those people. Afternoon run was 25 minutes including 4 x 100m strides on grass.

This morning there was some smoke haze from down Mandurah way. It wasn't great for photo taking.

I've been up Kings Park a few times over the years. In 1997 I was there at night, quite a view. My best memory was in 1993 after the Australian 3 Day Orienteering Championships. Ann's father was the caretaker so we all pitched tents in grounds of the caretaker's cottage and went for a longish run in the park before heading to Rottnest Island and down Bunbury way for the WA Championships following weekend. The running on dry ground wearing hard shoes did some blister damage to my poor feet. Photo from now and then.

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.

Big Weather Event Brewing ; Indoor Training ; Australian Masters Athletics Championships Mixed XC race

Image
A big weather event is brewing for much of my local area this afternoon and weekend. Up to 100mm predicted to fall with damaging winds. I've been through a few of these periods now. I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
