Lake Tempo Run 18km ; ACT Masters Athletics 10000m Championships : The Movie

This morning a tempo run out and back down to the lake and back. Weather warm, sunny, no wind. I felt great out there, no ill effects from the 10000m on track last night. It's amazing how holding back a minute or so from top pace in the 10000m can make recovery easier.

Looking ahead a focus will be on pace work at 1500m (<3:00/km), 5000m (3:10/km) and 10000m (3:20/km) pace during key sets. Next set tomorrow morning at Stromlo XC circuit or Parkrun or both. Some rain is expected tomorrow.

Well done Bruce. Good way to watch a 10,000, nice and fast. Hope we have events to train for this year. Doesn't look good the next few months.

Ta Ewen. I agree, we may need to isolate ourselves somewhere isolated to get a run in. Just we runners and a Garmin might have to do.

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.
