Beach Intervals 17km incl 15 x 200m 3:10/km

Pre-dawn 17km run including a set of 15 x 200m intervals, 200m recovery, pace 3:10/km. I was joined late in the set by a mob of 7 kangaroos. They just stood on the waters edge looking at me, a couple put their legs in the ocean. The stand-off lasted 5 minutes. One of the rare times I didn't have my phone handy, left it on a rock. Back to the set: Pace at 3:10/km which is faster than Parkrun but not flat out. Next step to do some longer intervals or a time trial at that pace. I'll work on it all week alternating with more short intervals. On Saturday I'll have a better warm up, try to start a little faster and get close to or under 17 minutes.

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.
