Long Recovery Run ; Steve 3 x 600m XC Intervals

Yesterday at the stage finish of Tour de France in Rozez some walking to and from 4km to go into stage finish and back. Last 2km I ran as a hill effort, max threshold. Recovery run was in Laissac, start of the stage today. This afternoon a long recovery run.

Steve today at Stromlo 3 x 600m XC efforts, his first of this type in a while. It should speed up the progress to a quicker 10km and 5km. Splits: 2:01, 1:57, 1:56

Next stage of Tour de France may be over Col du Galibier. Briancon is such a pain to get through and our next Parkrun to the north is better accessed via Albertville. I'll check the maps.

Play of the day in Rodez was Michael Matthews winning the stage ahead of Greg Van Avermat. Looks like MM knew his target from this snap I took with 4km to go.

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.
