Not Parkrun Huskisson 5km 17:11 : Steve 1500m Track 2nd 4:48

Morning drive a couple of hours north to Huskisson for a solo Not Parkrun 5km effort in 17:11. Splits(500m)1:42,1:44,1:43,1:44,1:39,1:43,1:43,1:43,1:42,1:42. Weather sunny, warm, some wind. I ran a full 5km over the course prior to the start. The time equal to my fastest two over the Batemans Bay course and at Australian Masters Athletics Championships in April on track. Very even splits, flatish course, people, bikes, wind and dogs slight variations. All that done with 140km in my legs last 7 days. Happy:-) Now off for a slow warm down and sight seeing. Next effort may be a real Parkrun on Saturday. I'll have to drive south this time. This evening at track Steve ran a close 2nd to Grant at 1500m in 4:48(8 seconds quicker than his last outing).

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.
