Long run for me from hotel. Some drizzle about keeping things cool. The run through the airport service towns of Le Mesnil Amelot and Mauregard, mostly of agricultural country dirt roads. A similar run tomorrow if I wake early enough before the flight home at noon.

ACT Masters XC handicap on Little Black Mountain scheduled for Sunday, hours after I arrive home. The start is a short jog from home.

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.
