Paris Training Camp Day 9 : Recovery Day 4 x 200m

An easier day scheduled with easy running and strides on track. Weather warm, partly cloudy, light winds. Non set:-) Warm up, 4 x 100m strides, 4 x 200m, 200m jog (34,34,32,32), 4 x 100m strides, warm down. Leg speed for 200m continues to improve. 31 seconds expected next set without straining. 13km morning session, 25 minute loosener in afternoon, 135km last 7 days. I will be 125km for the week when 10 day taper to 85km begins on Sunday.

Competitors Handbook for Malaga has been released. Lots to take in. Key points for me are 10km, Half Marathon and Cross Country courses have been modified significantly. 1500m heats if I read correctly are 1st, 2nd places through to final, rest based on times. Option for me between 1500m and Half Marathon remains live. I'd prefer the 1500m, more fun. Next week will included some intense time trial or set to prepare for the 1500m.

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.
