Parkrun La Ramee 5km 17:11 2nd ; Keith in Bemboka

This morning a stop off at Parkrun La Ramee in Toulouse, not far from the Tour de France start in Blagnac. The course mostly cross country on grass, single track, forest paths, two sections of pavement, two non-identical laps. I had someone to chase all the way which was helpful as the course route is complicated. A small field of mostly ex-pat Brits and a few French. Weather very warm and humid (nice:-)

17:11 for me, Minnie 26:47. It was a fun morning. We ran the two laps plus a bit more as warm up. I was full gas the whole way except first 500m. That's about all I can expect on 130km+ last 7 days.

Next stop Rodez for the stage finish of Tour de France.

Keith in Bemboka 2000m 7:53, 1700m 6:14, 1300m 4:55, 850m 3:24, 300m 65

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.
