ACT Masters Track Pennington 1500m Handicap ; Steve 3 x 1500m

This evening I ran the Pennington Series 1500m handicap as part of a session. 800m,1500m and 3000m comprise the series.

The set: Warm up, 4 x 100m (17,15,15,14), 2 x 200m (34,33), 1500m (4:50), warm down. Kathy W65 is usually my toughest competition in the series. I gave her 93 seconds head start and caught her with 500m to go. Kathy finished 3rd, 31 seconds after me. It was very windy out there.

This morning Steve ran a set of 3 x 1500m. Splits: 5:07,5:11,5:16. He was feeling a little tired or fatigued during the set.

A low volume day for me today. 122km last 7 days.

I'm still having trouble breathing during hard efforts due to virus or hay fever. It is getting better. I'll start to lift the intensity on the weekend and see if I can find some form over 800m, 1500m and 3000m before the racing finishes for 2018. My leg speed and aerobic fitness is good. Speed endurance is not so good.

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.
