Traditional Wooden Boats Run 20km

My long Sunday run of 20km was paused by thunderstorms passing through. On resumption a big loop of town and estuary looking at a festival of assorted traditional boats showing off on the water, tooting at anyone they saw, especially when passing under a bridge. For two days the cafe at the marina has been overflowing. Today marks the end of week 31 of this base training build up with 135km run last 7 days. It's also 6 weeks since I retired from work again and have been able to maximise the training opportunities and absorb the hard work with more rest. Running results in the last fortnight show I'm at a similar fitness level to when we were in Covid lockdown. This coming week more leg speed intervals, time trials, hills and a return to Parkrun Batemans Bay on Saturday. I'm not done with the Parkrun at Panboola Wetlands yet...not until I break 17 minutes convincingly.

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.
