ACT Masters Track : 1500m ; Keith in Bega 600m, 500m, 400m, 300m, 200m, 100m

Weather OK for running. Light winds, warm not hot. Neither Steve (injury), nor Rohan (400m 65) ran the 1500m. It was a solo time trial.

Warm up only 1km plus 4 x 100m strides (fastest 14.6). Through 800m in 2:23 then slow fade out to 4:42.2. That's disappointing but not far off Monday's prediction of 4:38. A little more conservative early and it may have been a few seconds quicker. Regardless 3 seconds quicker than a fortnight ago and off 140km for 2 weeks. As punishment I ran a solid 8km warm down.

I have 3 weeks until a 10000m on track. That has been the focus last 2 months. I'll try to nail every session and then taper. See what that brings then load up for the next series of races.

Tomorrow a long run 90 minutes. Next set Saturday 2000m, 1500m, 1200m, 600m, 300m, 300m.

Keith in Bega 600m 2:03, 500m 1:41, 400m 83, 300m 59, 200m 37, 100m 16. Another step forward for Keith.

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.
