Open European Masters Athletics 1 Mile Challenge Washup

Open EMA 1 Mile Challenge is over. Three of us submitted times for the challenge. Results were good. Leonor suffered from shin splints and Helen to the lure of snow skiing in the final fortnight. They both relied on their backup times. I was happy with my time and submitted early, just as I did in the 10km challenge. My time was bettered in the final week by M55 Neill Cookson, a well deserved win.

Results: Leonor W55 6th 8:56 ; Helen W60 7:02 3rd ; Me M55 2nd 4:52, Aged graded overall 3rd 93.15% behind two amazing females Pauline Moran W60 99.64% and Dorothy Kesterton W65 94.79%

Open European Masters Athletics Challenge for August is a Half Marathon. I'll run this as soon as I can.

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.
