Stromlo Short Lactate XC Intervals

This morning with Steve a set of short XC lactate intervals. The set 600m 1:53, 500m 1:32, 400m 75, 300m 52, 200m 33. The usual warm up warm down with 100m strides. It was a wee shock to the system on the first 600m effort. After that I was into it. Happy with the splits first real set back. I was always a step or so back from Steve who is in good form.

I repeated the set again with Kathy, Helen and Gabe while Roger jogged. I paced the set until the 200m effort in 31 seconds.

All up 17km in the morning session followed by a brunch locally. A 7km recovery run in the afternoon. The legs are now mostly recovered. A long run scheduled for tomorrow. I'lll work that out in the morning and see how I feel.

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.
