Australian Institute of Sport Track 10 x 300m, 100m recovery

Monday afternoon session at Australian Institute of Sport track. Weather full sun, windy, warm. The set: 5km warm up, 10 x 300m with 100m jog recovery, 5km warm down. Splits: Untimed,60,57,56,56,55,56,55,54,51. Goal pace was 57 seconds or 3:10/km. I felt good throughout, the best I've felt all summer. 1500m and 800m races last 2 weeks have helped find good form. A short recovery run in the evening to loosen up.

This week is a 5000m track race with ACT Masters around dusk. It should be good conditions. While my volume will still be 120km for the week I will run only 6km on Wednesday. Next Monday I'll start my taper down to 80km/week to freshen up for 10000m track on 5th March and 5000m on 11th March, my final 2 track races for the 2020/2021 season.

Next set tomorrow morning with Steve or 2-3 x 1000m efforts at Stromlo XC circuits. We are running low on light in the morning making it difficult to fit in the set before work. Daylight savings doesn't end until April 4th, after the track season.

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.
