Stromlo XC Intervals 7 x 300m,60 seconds jog ; Saturday Wrap

Tomorrow is Mothers Day Classic 5km or 10km in Canberra. A light sessions today as a few will be running. For Helen and myself (5km entered tomorrow) 7 x 300m efforts (Helen 200m) with 60 seconds jog recovery.

Gabe ran 2 x 2.5km efforts at her maximum. Mia, Kathy and Minnie did a variety of easy or harder efforts, strides. Steve did easy running plus strides and a 300m effort. On Thursday Steve ran a 1200m effort. Steve has entered 10km and is in great form. He should run well tomorrow.

Of me: 25km all up today and 120km last 7 days. Weather on Thursday and Friday were horrid with cold temperatures, rain and high winds. Only 21km all up on those two days. Weather looks better on Monday and Tuesday. I'll get my very hard set for the week done then.

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.
