ACT Masters Athletics 3000m 10:15

Drizzle or rain most of the day, cold and windy...not great conditions for track but the meet went ahead and we got another race in over 3000m. Jacob M35, myself M55 and Steve M50 were the top 3 places, none of us were happy with our times. It was slow going out there. My splits(500m): 1:40,1:40,1:44,1:45,1:44,1:39 = 10:15

I got there 90 minutes early to ensure I ran more than 17km for the day. I ran 21 km including the race, lots of 100m strides and warm down.

On Friday a recovery run of 11km, Saturday morning Parkrun. I should be quicker than last week as the puddles will have dried up and my training form is better.

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.
