Australian Masters Athletics Championships get the Go Ahead ; Long Recovery run 18km ; Steve 600m,500m,400m,300m,200m

Australian Masters Athletics Championships in March 2021 have been given the go ahead by the organising committee. I now have something exciting to train for and some titles to defend from 2019. I'll start planning a revised training program this week.

Today I was meet director at ACT Masters Athletics. I ran 18km before the event in local parks. It started raining near the end of the run until end of track meet and beyond. The sprinters had to put up with a big head wind and wet track.

Steve up north ran 600m(2:00),500m(1:39),400m(77),300m(55),200m(36) with 1 minute recovery.

I'll run my 49th Parkrun on Saturday morning. Easy run of 13km on Friday.

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.
