Reims : Tour de France Stage 4 Departs ; Steve 10km Tempo Run

Big day of moving again. Up very early for jog to train station trip from Epernay to Reims. I had lots of time to wander Reims and participate in the Tour de France animations that happen before the riders depart. Then it was off to Reims train station again to catch a train to Paris. My hotel was an hour and forty minutes walk from the train station. No rush as the Tour de France coverage had just begun on TV...I'm watching that now.

This apartment is very near Chateau de Vincennes. The only time I've been here is running Marathon de Paris. I'll do some running over this year's Marathon de Paris course in coming days to get my head around next year's event which I will be running.



Today Steve ran a 10km tempo run. Average was 4:04/km with last 6km at sub-4:00/km. Another good session despite a recent lergy.

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.
