ACT Masters Athletics Championships Schedule

ACT Masters Athletics championships season begins this Thursday and rolls on until 11th April. I'll get a chance to run through all the events I may enter for the Australian Masters Athletics Championship in Melbourne from 26th-29th April.

Schedule is: 3000m handicap & 800m 7th March ; 10000m 14th March ; 1500m 28th March ; 8000m XC 31st March (non-championship) ; 5000m 11th April ; Australian Running Festival Half Marathon 14th April (for Australian Masters Athletics Half Marathon Championship on 26th May in Canberra). I'll be training through all these events with 1-2 easy days prior to each race. I'll schedule harder weeks when there is no suitable racing on track nights (Thursdays 21st March and 4th April).

Today was a long recovery run of 80 minutes on bush trails. Recovery was from a birthday party on Saturday night.

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.
