Stromlo XC Intervals 4 x 800m, 200m recovery

Monday morning session at Stromlo XC circuits with Steve of 4 x 800m, 200m jog recovery. I brought the sets this week earlier by a day due to expected rain and Christmas.

My splits through 500m: 1:39.2,1:37.2,1:35.3,1:35.6. Final 300m were the quickest sector, the fastest 300m 51.5. We had a light headwind in that sector today. I wore some shoes from 2016 this morning, same pair I've done all my fastest Parkruns in. I'll give them a run on Friday at Parkrun. They suit the narrow, twisting course, more agile. No Zoom X foam.

Next set on Wednesday morning at Stromlo of 4 x 500m leg speed intervals. I'll set myslf up for Friday at Burley Parkrun with only 10km easy on Thursday morning, still maintaining 120km+ for the week.

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.
