Lactate Intervals

The hard core gang out there this afternoon in a nice weather. I actually did less than the rest (I missed the 500m deliberately). Helen also fatigued from the one hour. The session 600m,500m,400m,300m,200m roughly 1-2min recovery starting just undercurrent 1500m pace, then kicking down. Best on track today Maria (totally on fire) and Tony. GT600 - 2:01.97 = +1.97s 500 - 1:40.61 = +0.61s 400 - 1:17.89 = -2.11s 300 - 0:56.19 = -3.81s 200 - 0:37.52 = -2.48s 200 - 0:35.17 = -4.83s 100 - 0:16.10 = -4.90s

Of me: 1:46,68,47,31...the legs very heavy, not sure I will get up for Thursday. Might have to resort to all the tricks.

Start lists for the Victorian 5000m have been published, I watch the C grade video last night and pre-planned my race. Will go with it all. Only jogging and rest until then.

The plan: Hang back for the first 800m, 1km 3:05-3:10, 3km <9:30, solid last 2km, big last 800m. Take as many rides as I can at the right pace.

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.

This morning a quick meet and greet of my friends before heading to Glasshouse Rocks Beaches racing Munchkin the Border Collie at low tide on firm, fast sand. Weather cool, no wind. Our maximum threshold session was great with the beaches deserted. The session would have been perfect except for munchkin leaping out of the car with her harness being attached. It took a long time to correct this puppy brain fade.
