Keith Short Intervals 150-250m x 3 sets ; Structured Training Resumes Next Week

Monday morning Keith received his pair of new Nike Dragonfly Spikes. I hope they propel M60+ Keith to a sub-5:00 1500m this summer. He is in good form already. After a trot on grass in the new spikes Keith ran in Nike 4% grass strides intervals of 150m-250m, a hilly rectangle circuit.

Today a steady run on bike path from home. I'll get to the track to wake my legs up this week. Track resumes on Thursday, a come and try it evening. On the weekend I'll be on the coast with Milli the Border Collie to let her bark at some waves. We will do many runs on the beach. On Tueday next week I'll resume structured training. I'll need 6 weeks of high volume and all the sessions to get back on top of things. Around mid-November I'll hope to be posting fast times on track.

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.
