World Masters Athletics Championships 2018 1500m M55-59 ; Steve 3 x 1500m

Steve this morning 3 x 1500m efforts at Stromlo XC Circuit, all un-timed. Warm down was done at a near by Parkrun.

I ran easy for 65 minutes including 5 x 100m strides. An easy run later in the day made it 17km. I should be back at normal volume of 120km this week. Still around two weeks until I start structured training. Tomorrow a longer run of 85 minutes.

Took a while to extract and compile videos from Facebook. Shot using camera phone in portrait, finish straight only. Heat 2 and final. Also some great semi final 1500m photos from Shaggy.

I remember back to arriving in Paris and discovering my training track only a short jog from the apartment. I was excited I could train for 1500m and 5000m events. I was surprised the running form and fitness came back so quick. It was an awful winter in Canberra. It was a perfect autumn in Paris. Looking back the running feeling I had in the 5000m and 1500m semi-final was the best I had during the championships. Looking forward to running more middle distance championship races in the future.

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.
