Early morning Soggy Beach Run 2 X 1km, 1 X 2km Hill : Beach Intervals 10 X 100m, 5 X 200m

Early morning run in the rain (now sunny), a tradie expected mid-morning, I had to make the dog and I happy first. Run included 2 X 1km to end of 3rd beach and back followed by a 2km hill effort to home. A second session at low tide, jog to different beach, 10x 100m, 5x200m, both with jog back recovery, and a 2km climb back home. Long warm down later in sunshine, 20km for the day. I've now strung together 3 consecutive high volume weeks (132km,125km,132km) and this week adding in short leg speed intervals and short time trials again. I'll get an idea what my form is like at Parkrun this week. I think I still need 2-3 weeks before I'm in great form again.

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.
