Stromlo XC Intervals 3 x 1300m ; Steve and Keith

This morning with Helen 3 x 1300m XC intervals. It was very windy all day. The set: Warm up, 5 x 100m strides, 3 x 1300m efforts with 1200m jog recovery. Helen ran all 3 hard having not run day after Sprint Marathon Relay. Her last effort was her best. My last effort easily the quickest at 3:20/km, very good in the conditions.

In the afternoon a 5km jog where I saw Kathy doing 3 x 300m efforts. Steve did 3 x 600m efforts in 3:20/km. Still very windy.

Keith on soft grass in Bega also 3 x 600m efforts. Splits: 2:11, 2:08, 2:06. Also windy down there.

All up 18km for the day and 123km last 7 days. I am feeling very tired with 3 sessions in 4 days and 4 consecutive months of 120km+/week average. March will be around 110km/week average. Looking forward to that.

Thursday night at track will be 3000m handicap and maybe a loosener track run later in the evening.

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.
