Steve 3 x 3 Minute Efforts ; Jane Tempo Run ; Long Runs

Steve and Jane continued their steady rise back to form this week. Steve with 3 x 3 minute efforts at 3:30/km (down from 3:37/km last week). Jane with a tempo run by the lake, her first in eight weeks.

Helen and Emma ran 80 minutes this morning. Others did a lap of West Basin 16km. I ran the same run as yesterday. Today it was a cruise with no effort or hills and covered the 18km in the same time as yesterday. Sounds strange but it's normal for me. The more long runs I do the faster they are naturally. Could also mean my virus is improving.

Tomorrow at Stromlo long step down XC intervals of 6,5,4,3,2,1 minutes with 60 seconds jog recovery. I should get to 140km for the week this Sunday as planned.

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.
