Abbott Global Marathon 2022 Course Scoping 24km

Morning run of 24km with Jen to scope a course to complete for the Abbott Global Marathon 2022. We met and ran an out and back course on bike path utilising the flattest and least used portion of the lake bike path that circles Lake Burley Griffin.
About the Global marathon: 'Run or walk a total of 26.2 miles between 00:00am Saturday 7 May, 2022 and 11:59pm Sunday 8 May, 2022 local time. The marathon distance must be completed in ONE continuous run/walk only. Pausing or stopping your device during your activity is not permitted. The Global Marathon must be completed outdoors'. I will run with Jen on part of her Global Marathon run on 7th May. Today's run no issues with the right hamstrings. I put in 2-3 surges of up to 300m at race pace. I am healthy to resume structured training over the Easter break.

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.
