Criterium Track 4 X 500m ; Bingi Point Trail Run 17km

Morning Run on a Criterium track including 4 X 500m, 500m jog recovery. I raced on the circuit as a cyclist in 2005 a couple of times. It's the closest I'll find to the Stromlo Criterium Track on the coast. The track has seen better days. I'll bring a broom to sweep off the broken glass on next visit. Today's set a reccy to get used to the circuit again. I'm getting close to replicating my normal winter training routine. Splits: 1:52,1:44,1:43,1:39. After the set a drive to Bingi Point for a trail run and looking for bush tucker and shipwrecks.

Looking good Bruce. The crit track looks cool, a bit narrow for a full field of Canberra Vets though.

Thanks Ewen, I added a couple of images from a 2005 race. Not many people there. I only included images where I was leading :-)

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.
