Stromlo 23km incl 2 x 10km Open European Masters Athletics 10km Virtual Challenge Steve and Helen

Thursday morning at Stromlo to support Steve and Helen run their Open European Masters Athletics 10km Virtual Challenge time trials. Weather was perfect with fog, cool, no wind. Steve M50 ran 37:16, Helen W60 ran 46:03, both outstanding efforts. Their times closely reflected their also great 5km efforts done a couple of weeks ago. We all currently lead our respective ages. Things will change. I ran 23km for the morning while I supported them.

I'll now continue on my recovery week. Next set on Saturday, group session at Stromlo with long XC intervals. 126km last 7 days.
Keith ran a set of 6 x 300m efforts, starting at 66 seconds reducing to 55 seconds.

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.
