Sunday Recovery Run 22km ; Cobargo (bushfires 2019)

Sunday morning long run of 22km. Breakfast included a coffee and pastries from Cobargo, a lovely town devastated by the bushfires on New Years Eve 2019-20. I'd driven through before a few times but never stopped. I spent 30-40 minutes there wandering, listening to the artistic folk selling unique produce, many who also had a dog. One lady commented of Milli the Border Collie 'That's a nice person'. She is correct, many border collies are really people. Houses were lost a couple of years ago but not the house I considered purchasing. It was right near the bakery where I bought the coffee and pastries. Some of the photos below are sad but the people and town is not. It is still a beautiful town with charismatic locals. Small boutique businesses have in-filled where tragedy struck. There is plenty to see and do. Cobargo is still recovering.

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.
