Short Time Trial and Interval Session : Sydney 10 Preview

Sunny Morning Time trial and Interval set. The session: Long warm up, 5 x 400m efforts, 1km Time Trial, Long warm down, 17km for the day. I recently spent a few days at the venue of the Sydney 10 Road Race for the Australian Masters Athletics Championships. I last road raced in the Sydney Olympic Park Stadium Precinct in November 2011 running an earlier version of the 10km event in 34:01. It was a warm to hot morning. The course is flatish and fast with a number of turns slowing things down a little. With around 1500 entrants it attracts a number of fast talented runners as well as mass participants. I'll take along two pair of racing shoes, Nike Vaporfly V2 and V3, choice made on the morning subject to conditions. My race wave starts at 7:20am on Sunday morning.

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.
