ACT Masters 3000m; Stromlo XC Intervals Steve 3 x 1500m

Thursday morning at Stromlo XC circuit Steve ran 3 x 1500m efforts. Splits: 5:10,5:10,5:09. Weather was cool and still, track not cut for a few days.

I was there warming up with Steve, jogging plus 5 x 100m easy strides.

Wednesday was another up tempo 17km run on forest rails, very quick last 8km. 132km last 7 days.

I ran at 3000m in 10:06 at Woden track on Thursday evening. The 5000m was cancelled due to time restrictions with Pentathlon. Splits: 39,79,80,80,81,83,83,77. I lost concentration with 3 laps to go and picked it up again on the last lap. Not flat out again. More like a tempo run. Short warm up without strides.

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.
