Track Racing Period 1: January 27th - March 24th 2022

After 39 weeks of base training I am now preparing to race again on track and start breaking some age club records. I'm ready for everything One Mile or more. 800m to 1500m needs some race specific sessions. I need to maintain my base fitness throughout this race period. The main race period is in April coinciding with the Australian Masters Athletics Championships (fingers crossed it goes ahead). I'll continue to run Parkrun throughout also. There will be many course age graded and age records to set in coming years. I turn 60 on the 27th January.

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.
