BBQ Stakes Maximum Threshold 6.1km XC 22:29

Weather warm with light winds for a maximum threshold run at BBQ Stakes. No warm up today other than hill strides and stretching, I did that in the up hill first kilometre. The result 13 seconds quicker than a fortnight ago. It's still 40 seconds from where my limit is on the current course with civil works occurring since mid-June 2018 adding around 100m.

Tomorrow on track is a handicap 800m as part of the 800m,1500m,3000m series inspired by the late Jack Pennington and Chris Higgins. I'll do a full warm up plus 4 x 200m strides before the event. Time doesn't matter in this race, all about a top 3 finish. I'll be giving some a big head start. I'll need something left in the last lap. 126km last 7 days.

This is last year's race taken by Ewen. Thanx again.

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.
