Parkrun Ginninderra 16:46 1st

Saturday morning Parkrun to celebrate 100 runs for Jen. Weather cool and very windy.

I passed up running track on Thursday hoping conditions would be better today. They were marginally. I ran solo from the start pushing into the wind to the half way dead turn and worked just as hard on the way home. The split at half way dead turn was the only kilometre over 3:20. 16:46 added 2% to my lead on the age grade table. Training form for eight weeks leading up to this has been great.

We had a very social morning to celebrate Jen 100 runs, Gabe new house. We had bubbles, picnic and coffee. A lovely morning. All my friends had solid runs.

An afternoon 80 minute recovery run as best as I could find out of the wind on forest trails.

Elsewhere Helen was at Stromlo running 3 x 1000m efforts all in the 4:20s. Steve had a solid set of long intervals. Splits: 3:45/km,3:49,3:36,3:32,3:31,3:25.

Tomorrow 2 hours+ of running. Next set expected on Tuesday with 600m-800m efforts.

ta David, nice to be running well again. I met a friend of yours down in Bateman's Bay Parkrun a fortnight ago. Locked both his keys and barcode in the car. Not sure how it turned out, still there after coffee.

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.
