Parkrun Batemans Bay 2nd 17:40 ; Marathon de Paris postponed to 18th October

Saturday morning Parkrun at Batemans Bay, 2nd in 17:40. My PB is 17:17. Weather warm, no wind, not bad for running. Splits: 3:26,3:27,3:31,3:33,3:32. Heart rate never got over 165. In the afternoon a recovery run to make 18km for the day, 132km this week. Tomorrow a long run along the coast and back, varied terrain.

Last evening I heard Marathon de Paris was postponed to 18th October due to Coronavirus. I preempted this a couple of weeks ago and decided to run Australian Masters Athletics Championships in Brisbane in the 10000m, 5000m, 1500m and 8km XC. I will enter when I get home from the coast.

This week is 10000m on track with ACT Masters. I'll freshen up for a couple of days, run one pace session on Tuesday. I won't be at my best yet, my blood values will be poor from a few weeks of hard training. I will also run 5000m on track with ACT Masters on 26 March. I should be in good form by then.

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.
