Stromlo XC 2 x 1250m Hill efforts ; Keith 7 x 600m

This afternoon at Stromlo 2 x 1200m hill efforts. With the magpie swooping I cut the normal loop in two, ran it in both directions taking the magpie out of play. The reverse direction takes in both hills on their steepest sides. It was very windy again.

The set: 2500m warm up, 6 x 100m strides, 2 x 1250m hill efforts (4:15,4:40), 2500m warm down. Only 9km today taking volume last 7 days down from 135km to 128km.

Keith in Bega ran 7 x 600m efforts. It was also windy down there. Splits: 2:10,2:10,2:10,2:13,2:07,2:00,2:09. Wind and hills were in play. Sections run were not identical.

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.
