ACT Masters Track : 3000m, 800m, 3000m ; Keith in Bega

My last track meet as M50 and in the middle of 140km+ week made it a training session. Weather warm and very humid, some wind in the first 3000m.

3000m: Set beeping watch on 20 seconds per 100m (10000m pace), ran as best I could even paced 10:02. Steve 10:13?, Kathy 13:30?

800m: Sat in 2nd behind Colin at 5000m pace (19s/100m)for 600m, last 200m in 33 seconds.

3000m: Cruised around in 11:05 (Splits 3:50, 3:40, 3:35). All up 18km for the day.

Our W80 girls broke 4 x 100m Australian record by 9 seconds.

Keith in Bega 100m 18,200m 39.1,400m 81,600m 2:00,400m 83,200m 39.6,100m 16.1. It was too hot to do a longer set.

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.
