ACT Masters Track Come and try It Night ; Steve 4 x 500m ; Keith 10km including 2 x 800m pickups

ACT Masters Track resumed for the first meet since the 10000m Championships in early March, days before Covid sent us scrambling (There have been no Covid cases in Canberra for 3 months). Weather cool to cold, some wind, big full moon. There were some great performances out there, not from me. Great runs in the 800m and 3000m.

I settled back into base building mode a couple of days ago, really looking forward to a few days in hot weather camping at the beach with Milli the Border Collie.

My 3000m a very slow start, solid after that...never quick. Splits (500m): 3:41/km,3:21/km,3:28/km,3:22/km,3:24/km,3:17/km.

Steve ran 4 x 500m strides this morning in preparation for a road race on Monday.

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.
