Steve Stromlo XC Intervals 4 x 800m ; Long Trails Run Arboretum 18km

Tuesday morning session for Steve at Stromlo XC circuits of 4 x 800m, 200m recovery. There was some rain about this morning, unsure if Steve got stuck in it during the session. Splits: 2:45,2:43,2:41,2:41

I got out there after the rain. My shoulder/neck injury was much improved to the point I can handle the pain, especilly if I keep my head still. The run mostly on single track, undulating to hilly. It was sunny and humid for my run. The trails were fun to run. I saw three MTBers and a red Kelpie. I've missed a day and a half of volume and one hard set (same set Steve did this morning). I'll try to squeeze two sets in before Parkrun on Saturday. I should be more fresh and colourful for Parkrun than I have been in recent weeks. My new 50 run T-shirt arrived:-)

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.
