18km incl 4 X 800m Beach Intervals : Steve 3 X 800m

Early morning 18km run including a set of 4 X 800m Beach Intervals with 200m jog recovery on a falling tide (dead low 2 hours later). I have to make the most of my opportunities this week, some rain likely at times. I ran a 6km warm down with the dog to the beach and back at lunch. 127km last 7 days, average above 125km for the last 3 weeks. Sounds good to me although I had 10 straight weeks at that level this time last year as well as posting 11 x 5km time trials in 16 minutes something in the same period (best 16:38). Steve ran 3 X 800m from Canberra this morning. His first set for a while, all efforts in the 2:40s.

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.
