Steve at Park Run 5km ; Short Recovery Run incl 4 x 100m strides ; WMA 1500m Finals

Steve at Park Run 17:58. It was windy in Canberra. Splits: 3:32, 3:39, 3:43, 3:40, 3:22 with last 400m in 73. That's 12 seconds up on last week. He's in good shape.

This morning an easy recovery run of 20 minutes on grass including 4 x 100m strides. It will be hot and a little windy out there today. Happy to get the run done early.

Yesterday I watched most of the 1500m prelims at track. Really looking forward to the finals today. Good luck to all my friends. Since they cut the 10000m track from future World Masters Athletics Championships this event is where I'll be headed as third race of the championships in Malaga and beyond.

I watched all the finals with most interest for me in W65 (Kathy), M50 (Robert), M55 (Scott and Andrew) and W55 (Robyn and for Helen)

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.
