Steve 1200m 3:58 ; Keith 3.5km hills fartlek ; 3000m XC Maximum Threshold

This morning Steve ran a 1200m effort at Stromlo. Time 3:58. That's quick in his last effort before a half marathon on Sunday.

Keith in preparation for a local fun run on Sunday ran 3.5km fartlek on hills. Good luck to both Steve and Keith.

Yesterday 18km including 3000m XC maximum threshold. Pace was 3:45/km which is all I had to give on a cold and windy evening.

I'm in the winter groove now which means a jog at lunch and some strides before a session or run in the evening. There's barely an hour before it's too cold and dark after work. 2 x 200m strides today. A fellow club mate was also down at the plush oval doing a similar thing. This evening 60 minutes or so, on grass again.

Next three days will include something solid each day. Tomorrow a lunch time session on grass. Saturday a morning session at Stromlo XC circuit. Sunday is an 8km XC handicap on hilly course.

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.
