Road to World Masters Athletics Championships : Toronto 2020 and Gothenburg 2022

I've had a mufty week. 15-17km every day, longish up-tempo runs on forest trails, trying to fit in between work ends and sunsets, no sessions. It's been cold and windy...as they say in Canberra, the weather turns on ANZAC Day.

This is the schedule for Australian Masters Athletics Championships: 2020 Brisbane (April)(running Marathon de Paris instead), 2021 Canberra (April?)(age 59), 2022 Hobart (April?)(age 60).

This is the schedule for World Masters Athletics Championships: Toronto, Canada 2020 (July), Gothenburg, Sweden 2022

This is the schedule for Tour de France Grand Depart: Brussels, Belgium 2019 (almost always July), Nice, France 2020, Copenhagen, Denmark 2021

2022 is the end of the road I can see if I make it that far! Where there is an end there hopefully will be another beginning.

Next session on Saturday 4 x 2500m XC intervals at Stromlo with 2-3 minutes recovery.

Next week ABS 6km Fun Run on Thursday, ACT Masters Athletics XC Handicap 7.3km on Sunday.

Next race YMCA event incorporating Australian Masters Half Marathon Championships on Sunday 26th May in Canberra.

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.
