Virtual Parkrun 5km Ginninderra Clare,Gabe,Jen

Thursday morning virtual Parkrun at Ginninderra pacing Clare W65 23:45ish, Gabe W55 25+mins and Jen W65 24:45ish, Carol solo W55 28+mins. Weather cool, foggy, no wind. Goal to establish times for the girls in the Open European Masters 5km Virtual Challenge. All the girls did well.

10km for me in the morning, 7km at lunch, 120km this week marking the end or week 15 of this high volume (125km/week) base building block. Tomorrow begins a new training block to focus on direct preparation (8 weeks) for a competition period of one week (virtual World Masters Athletics Championships 8000m XC, 5000m, 10km road) to be held from 20th July.

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.

Big Weather Event Brewing ; Indoor Training ; Australian Masters Athletics Championships Mixed XC race

A big weather event is brewing for much of my local area this afternoon and weekend. Up to 100mm predicted to fall with damaging winds. I've been through a few of these periods now. I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
