Parkrun Panboola Wetlands 1st 16:52

Cool and sunny at Parkrun Panboola Wetlands 1st in 16:52. Splits(500m):1:36,1:38,1:38,1:38,1:38,(dead turn 1:43),1:43,1:44,1:44,1:39. 8 seconds quicker than my last run on the course. My fastest Parkrun 5km since 16:46 in 2019. Celebration with a pie and coffee. I've run 16 something or quicker for 5km every year since my return to running in 2007. Not having a 16 something in 2022 until today was big motivation. Now I can focus fully on my next racing block in February to March 2023. Sunday long run and a swim at the beach. Monday back into base training 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.
