Parkrun Ginninderra 17:22 4th ; Steve 2000m,1500,1200,800m,400m

Saturday morning Parkrun at Ginninderra 4th in 17:22, a couple of seconds faster than the day before. Marty and Paul skipped away early which left me to find my maximum threshold HR of 171bpm and hold it for the entire run. I felt better in the warm up and the run. An afternoon recovery run to keep the volume at 120km+ for the week. Splits(500m):141,144,140,143,148(dead turn)141,146,145,144,141,05

I'm into my 5th week of my second 6 week training block of 120km+/week. The week ahead has Parkrun Ginninderra again on New Years Day (Friday) and I hope to back up again at Jindabyne Parkrun on the Saturday, do some running in the mountains after. I'll repeat the same two sessions of 800m with short recovery and 500m leg speed intervals mid-week. Tomorrow a long recovery run of 21.1km

Steve at Stromlo ran 2000m (untimed),1500m 5:21,1200m 4:12,800m 2:42,400m 73. His times were quicker than the previous week with shorter recovery.

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.
