Australian Masters Cross Country Championships : Long Intervals 6,5,4,3,2,1 minutes, 1 minute recovery : Steve 16km including 30 minute tempo run

Last evening I entered Australian Masters Cross Country Championships to be held in August. With current lock downs due to Covid in NSW my participation will depend on restrictions being lifted to South Australia where the event will be held (Adelaide). They have removed the Cross Country from the traditional four day AMA Championships, now to be included with the Athletics Australia All Ages XC Championships. Rain and wind on the way for a few days, today a session of 6,5,4,3,2,1 minute efforts, 1 minute jog recovery through the Arboretum again. Next set may have to wait for Parkrun on Saturday, easy running until then. Steve ran 16km including a 30 minute tempo run, pace 3:45/km to 4:05/km.

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.
