Short Lactate Intervals : 4 x 200m, 200m jog recovery

This afternoon another predictive set, this time for 800m to see where I am at. Weather very warm, sunny and some wind

The set: 5km warm up, 4 x 100m (17,16,15,14), 4 x 200m (31,32,32,31) with 200m jog recovery in 60 seconds, 5km warm down. Cumulative 2 seconds up on a fortnight ago. I still feel too fragile to give more the 85% I think I can get them all under 31 in a week. I'll give it a go. Pennington handicap 800m is in just over a week. I need to run 2:14 and I'm not there yet.

Tomorrow back on grass for some 600m efforts (only 3 efforts) with longer recovery than normal and hopefully a little quicker than last weeks great set.

Racing on track this Thursday is a Mile and 3000m. I'll do both as training.

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.
