Steve Parkrun Tuggeranong 2nd 17:38 PB ; Parkrun Shellharbour 4th 19:43

A bit of a rush to get to the coast for Parkrun Shellharbour. Parkrun Bowral was called off, lack of volunteers. It took 55 minutes to get to the coast from Bowral and made it with 6 minutes to spare less logistics (securing Milli the Border Collie up to a post, no dogs allowed) and finding appropriate shoes for beach running. I did really enjoy the run, a hilly, tough and lovely bush and beach course, all on the diet of French Champagne. Back in Tuggeranong Steve ran 17:38, an all time Parkrun PB on any course for Steve. Well deserved after a long winter and spring build up. We have both hit great form again at the right time of the training and racing schedule, both running together this week putting in some great sets. Long run on Sunday early, we are having a hot spell.

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.
