Anatomy of Olympic 1500m 2016 ; AIS Track 4 x 100m, 400m, 300m, 200m

Ran out of daylight this evening. It was too cold for running fast. A faux session. 5km warm up, 4 x 100m (19,16,15,15), 400m 79, 300m 53, 200m 33, 100m recovery between all efforts (none at full gas), 5km warm down.

I'm aiming at dropping to well below 120km this week, I still have a way to go by Sunday. Spoilt for choice of long training races over the next 3 weeks before Australian Masters Athletics Championships in Darwin. Most important decision is to run 10000m on track 21 May. A last minute decision which means a three day taper for the event followed by my final high volume week prior to AMA Championships. If I manage to run OK I can save some petrol in the 10000m on Day 1 10000m AMA for the Day 2 1500m AMA.

I'd rather do this. Rough splits: 300m 48.7,400m 66.8,800m 2:16.5(69.77),1200m 3:12(55.41)then rough 100m splits of 13,12,13.

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.
