Steve 5 x 3 minute efforts, 1 minute recovery : Forest Trails Run 22km ; Bike Commute 16km

A freezing minus 4 degrees to start the day. Steve ran 5 x 3 minute efforts with 1 minute jog recovery. Splits: 3:34,3:35,3:35,3:30,3:32. One of Steve's better sets of this type, benefit of his set of 1 minute intervals a few days ago.

I was up early commuting to work on foot. The run was pleasant, the bike not so much, freezing cold on the fingers from the descent down to the lake. I'll have to do a re-think on mornings this cold or get some snow gloves.

I used to stick "little hotties" in my gloves when cycling to work. Good for about 15 minutes of warmth. Good photos. Good luck for the half on Sunday.

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.
