Steve Sri Chinmoy 5 Mile 1st M50-59, 4th Overall 30:29 ; Keith Virtual Merimbula Parkrun

Sunday morning race for Steve by the lake in the Sri Chinmoy 5 Mile. It was his fastest time in the event of 30:29, 1st M50-59 and 4th overall.

Keith ran a virtual Parkrun on the Merimbula course. It was his first run in three days having been bogged inside his property due to rain. Splits: 5:17/km,4:48/km,4:23/km,4:06/km,3:39/km.

It was a windy day both in Canberra and on the coast.

I got out on some forest trails for 30 minutes with Milli the Border Collie. Not a great choice of venue with many dogs and horses about. Very nice to have some sun shining on my head.

I've had a series of late nights getting my French cycling fix. Criterium du Dauphine is my favourite race with small crowds and easy to get close to the riders. It's been centered around Ugine and Megeve / Sallanches for the final two stages. Annecy and Ugine are linked by a long bike path. Just up the road Albertville is a great base to get into the Alps for a run and day trip. Loads of memories, sad not to be there in 2020. Not long until Tour de France.

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.
