Gold Coast Half Marathon

This evening Epernay time the Gold Coast Half Marathon is on. It's one of my favourite events. A couple of times I've used the event as a springboard to France, flying straight out of Brisbane day of the race. In 2017 I went home week before the race, then on to France.

The weather this year hasn't been as kind as I remember. Very strong winds and some rain have fallen over the last few days. Despite this the 10km race was very quick yesterday. I hope the weather is good for Jen who is running this evening in the Gold Coast Half Marathon, just as she did last year. Happy running Jen :-)[Jen ran 1:52:30 :-)] Roger is up there too, dong the full marathon I believe [Roger ran 4:31 in full marathon].

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.
