Australian Masters Athletics Championships Perth April 2018

Entries opened today for the Australian Masters Athletics Championships Perth in April 2018. I am entered along with two other people already. I booked flights and a hotel months ago.

I begin my Direct Preparation training block for the event when I return for Oceania Masters Athletics Championships in New Zealand next week. Events entered include 10000m track, 1500m, 5000m and 8000m XC, all on consecutive days.

I'm treating Oceania Masters as a training week with little taper. Australian Masters Athletics Championships is my first big event for the year. I'll be training as if it were the World Masters Athletics and with a full 10 day taper and all the sessions. Events will be held on the same XC course and main stadium used in World Masters Athletics Championships 2016 in Perth.

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.
