Steve 3 x 1km ; 10km incl 10 x 200m Hills ; Millie The Border Collie and Munchkin The Border Collie Afternoon Tea

Sunny, windy morning on the Coast. I ran 10km incl 10 x 200m Hill efforts, same venue as a couple of days ago. In Canberra windy for Steve to with a set of 3 x 1km 3:34,3:36,3:31, good speed in the conditions. In the afternoon I was lucky to share the company of Millie The Border Collie and Munchkin The Border Collie for Tea. It's the second time they have met, with Munchkin just a couple of weeks away from her mother and Millie I've known for all of her life. They got on reasonably well although Millie was unsure about Munchkin. It will take a couple of years before Munchkin is able to run at top pace with me on the beach runs. At the moment she is just scampering inside the house and some short walks until her young body develops. She has met all the adult neighbours who love her fluffy puppiness.

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.
