Stromlo XC Intervals 3 x 1000m

At Stromlo XC circuit for a morning session before the rain came. Weather warm with light winds before the rain.

The session: Warm up, 5 x 100m strides, 3 x 1000m intervals with 1000m jog recovery warm down. Splits: (Helen) 4:25,4:30,4:28. Me: 3:10,2:57,3:02. I was fully lactic on the middle effort. 1st and 3rd efforts more comfortable. In the afternoon after the rain an easy recovery run to make 18km for the day.

Tomorrow a long run including some 6 minute intervals at around 3:40/km.

At Parkrun Jen ran a course PB 23:43. She is off to Berlin for the marathon tomorrow. Good luck.

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.
