Long Run including 5 x 200m Strides : Burnie 10km Australian Masters Games

Today completing the 800m/1500m component of this weeks training. A long hilly run of 20km including 5 x 200m with 200m jog recovery. Used the early 200m efforts as warm up, no lactate involved. Splits: 36,34,32,32,30.4. Tomorrow 2 x 1250m hilly XC efforts + 2 x 500m Hill XC efforts.

Entry lists are up for Burnie 10km and Australian Masters Games events in Tasmania. For me it's all in for the Burnie 10km, backing up on consecutive days for 800m and 1500m on track. I'm feeling confident for all those events. I get to run two track meets locally prior to AMG. The start list has some great runners, depth on the thin side. Looking forward to a fun weekend away come mid-October.

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.
