Steve 5 x 3 Minutes, 1 minute recovery : Stromlo 2000m,1500m,1000m,500m

Morning session for Steve of 5 x 3 minute efforts, 1 minute recovery. It was one of his better sets. Splits: 3:27/km,3:27/km,3:27/km,3:27/km,3:28/km. Super consistent. I was feeling better than yesterday, able to do a set of 2000m,1500m,1000m,500m. Next set on Wednesday or Thursday, shorter XC intervals.

Photo from Parkrun Bois de Boulogne, they have been back running again for a couple of weeks or so. I had emails last night from Marathon de Paris re: their Covid protocol for participation. We will be effectively locked in Australia until our borders open up possibly in 2nd half 2022. If able to make 2022 World Masters Athletics Championships in Tampere that would be great. Otherwise I will have to settle for World Masters XC Championships in Bathurst early 2022, a few hours drive away.

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.
