Stromlo XC Tempo Run 10km

Tuesday morning tempo run at Stromlo XC circuit. Weather cool to warm, smoke haze, light winds. The tempo run a repeat of Thursday and Sunday as 12km with 1km warm up, 1km warm down, running the 10km tempo by feel, comfortable. Today better again, starting to find some rhythm. Splits much improved to the point I can consider structured training again once I stretch out my left thigh. I'm still getting some referred pain on the lower thigh, well away from the tear.

Splits from Thursday, Sunday and today:
Thursday:614,503,444,433,431,423,421,414,411,414,354,518
Sunday: 545,437,417,411,407,405,402,358,358,352,349,450
Tuesday: 451,420,410,405,404,356,346,350,347,343,339,445

Next effort Parkrun on Christmas Day. Air was decent at Stromlo today. I hope the local events are not cancelled. There should be a lift in form over Jindabyne Parkrun. Maybe something in the high 17s is possible.

In 19 days I will run the Cadbury Hobart Half Marathon. At this stage my aim will be to use as a training run for Marathon de Paris in April without getting injured.

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.
