Parkrun Panboola Wetlands 1st,17:54 ; Steve 3km Time Trial 11:09

99% Humidity, no wind and 20 degrees+ and climbing at Parkrun Panboola Wetlands. Similar weather up the coast after overnight rain. Another hot spell brewing. The run solo, 1st in 17:54. Splits(500m)1:46,1:45,1:41,1:43,1:43,(dead turn,1:47),1:52,1:52,1:50,1:46. I did suffer in the high humidity like everybody else. My legs felt great. I did 8km including strides before Parkrun. Steve continues his progress to full fitness with a 3km time trial in 11:09, taking another chunk off his last outing. On Sunday a trot with the local run group. I'll go early to get a swim or dip in both sides of the run.

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.
