World Masters Athletics Championships 2018 : Taper Day 5 : 3 x 600m

Probably my final track set in Paris. There is a possibility of a short set on Sunday morning before I depart. Weather cloudy, cool to warm, light winds.

The set: Warm up, 4 x 100m strides, 2 x 200m strides (35,34), 3 x 600m, 600m jog (1:51,1:49,1:48), 4 x 100m strides, warm down. All up 14km for the morning, 114km last 7 days.

That's the closest I've go to a 1500m set so far. It's probably all I need to do given the race schedule I've got. I felt great out there again, never flat out. Too late to take risks.

Tomorrow an easy recovery run of 65 minutes. Saturday Parkrun I will do as a tempo or intervals. I'll see how I am feeling on the day. I will be under 110km for the week by then and still reducing to around 80km for the week by the time I land in Malaga.

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.
