Not Parkrun Stromlo 5km 17:02 : Steve Not Parkrun Tuggeranong 18:17 : Keith 5 minute Time Trial 1430 metres

Early morning (6am) Not Parkrun 5km at Stromlo in 17:02. Weather cool, cloudy, no wind, some drizzle that stopped just after my warm up. The slippery track and number of kangaroos enjoying succulent wet grass on the side of the bitumen is the only thing to complain about. Great weather for running otherwise.
Splits(500m):1:41.6,1:40.6,1:44.3,1:39.4,1:43.0,1:44.7,1:42.2,1:46.3,1:41.6,1:38.3=17:02 I only looked at my watch just once at the 2nd last of five tight turns on the run (1:46.3,very slow). I knew that slippery turn was slow throughout with 3 kangaroos sitting on the inside corner and having to give them space. All up 9km for the morning. Another 11km on grass later in the morning including 4 x 800m, 200m walk recovery (2:53,2:43,2:39,2:30). Long run Sunday morning. Steve also found the course wet at Not Parkrun Tuggeranong, 18:17 in slippery conditions. Keith ran a 5 minute Time trial covering 1430 metres.

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.
