Parkrun Ginninderra 2nd 17:09 ; Steve 3 x 2500m XC efforts

Cold, still and foggy morning at Ginninderra Parkrun. I have only run this course once previously due to a thunderstorm related asthma attack during my first attempt a few years ago. A recent course change tempted me back there. Also running were many friends including Jen and Minnie who both ran well.

My run was solid, nothing special. It rarely is during high volume base training and no mid-week sessions.

On Friday Steve ran 3 x 2500m efforts at Stromlo. Splits: 9:25,9:13,9:09. Another strong session from Steve.

All up 17km (128km/wk) for me including 10km with Milli the border collie. We celebrated her first birthday last evening. I will be away for her birthday and the anniversary of Bella's death on same day of 25th June.

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.
