Parkrun Coombs 17:40 1st : Steve Parkrun Tuggeranong 17:52 2nd

Windy morning at Parkrun Coombs, 1st in 17:40. I felt great again. Pushed hard with a tailwind out, suffered into the wind coming home winning by almost 2 minutes. A positive run. With a 5000m track on this Thursday I should be able to run OK. Splits:(500m)1:39,1:42,1:44,1:38,1:44,(dead turn,1:54),1:49,1:46,(dead turn,1:51),1:42. Coffee post event at Denman, loads of people there, especially polititions, election coming. Sunday long run, likely to be my volume peak before a taper. Steve ran at Parkrun Tuggeranong, 2nd in 17:52

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.
