Pipeline Recovery Run with Milli the Border Collie

Sunday morning recovery run with Milli the Border Collie on the Pipeline track. We haven't run there for a while since cows were grazing and snakes probable. Now in autumn both issues have gone away. It was a chilly morning with a stiff breeze on the return. All up 20km for the day, volume is down to 110km for the week due to a 5km day before the 10000m track last Thursday. I'll sit around this level until I get a confirmation that Australian Masters Athletics Championships is going ahead or not.

If the Australian Masters Athletics Championships is NOT going ahead my peak for the 2019/2020 track season will be: ACT Masters Track championships including 1500m 21 March [Just Cancelled] ; 5000m 26 March [club event] ; 8000m XC 29 March at Stromlo [club monthly event]. Since I already ran the ACT Masters 10000m track championship I'll be content with that and move on to a typical winter build up again.

Training next fortnight will focus on 1500m and 5000m sessions. I'll only be able to fit in four sessions in that fortnight. All sessions will include two training speeds of 3:00/km, 3:10/km or 3:20/km.

Next set on Tuesday morning speeds 3:10/km and 3:20/km. Set on Thusday morning speeds 3:10/km and 3:00/km. Weather expected to be ideal both days.

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.
