World Masters Games Auckland : Recovery Day 7km plus 5 x 100m Strides

Another train ride out to the track for a 7km jog and 5 x 100m strides on grass. I managed to catch some 400m finals action men and women. Also had a chat to club mates Mark (100m,200m) and Alison(400m).

On the train ride home I decided to skip the cross country on Sunday and come home Friday. Our club has a 10km XC on Sunday and the weather in Oz will be much better (Oz weather is coming to NZ Friday through Monday...it's not good).

Tomorrow I am committed to 10000m 100%. No 800m for me although it would be much more fun. I need a crack at sub-34 10km here or I have to try in the heat of Darwin in June at Noon or chase a 10km somewhere else. It's a yearly constant goal.

So tomorrow 10000m M50-59 on track around Noon in 22 degrees, wind possibly freshening from the north.

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.
