Parkrun Coombs 27:42 70th ; Stromlo 5 x 1 min, 1 min jog ; Steve 4 x 500m, 3 min jog

Morning runs at Parkrun Coombs and Stromlo XC circuits. Weather cool and very windy, snow on the way to nearby hills. I ran Parkrun Coombs with Milli the Border Collie in our slowest time yet. After that on to Stromlo for some 100m strides and 5 x 1 minute strides, 1 minute jog recovery on the undulating 2.5km circuit. All up 13km for the morning. Steve ran 4 x 500m with 3 minutes recovery. Splits: 1:39,1:36,1:36,1:30.

Sunday morning is Canberra Times Running Festival with events 50km down to 1km. I am running the 10km. Weather will be cold and very windy. I will have to start relatively fast and find the fastest people I can to stick with and hide from the wind. Due to the twisting nature of the course stretches into the wind will be short.

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.
