Not Parkrun Lakeside 5km 17:08 : Retro ''Road to World Masters Athletics Championships Perth 2016'' : Keith 4 X 800m

My last chance this morning to get a quality 5000m time trial in before the weather turns sour for a few days and I stuffed it. I turned up at Stromlo 6am, did a full warm up, two cyclists turned up. I had to abort and find a different venue. I chose the busy lakeside path to get the TT done, poor choice. People, bikes, smokers and a wind off the lake. Splits: 1:40.5,1:39.0,(gravel)1:45.8,1:42.8,(dead turn)1:48.0,1:41.5,1:42.2,143.9,(gravel)145.0,139.1=17:08

Friday weather will be OK. Some rain and wind expected until Thursday next week. Next set on Friday with short intervals and a short time trial. Saturday XC intervals. Sunday long run. Keith ran a set on assorted surfaces of 4 X 800m with 2 minutes recovery.

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.
