AIS Track : Short Lactate Intervals

We did this set a few weeks ago with the help of Garry. I didn't expect to do as well today without his help but we did.

The set: 6km warm up, 4 x 100m, 7 x 400m + 1 x 200m=3000m with 400m jog between efforts, 2.5km warm down. All the efforts were in 69 seconds.point with 30 seconds for the final 200m.

Of me: 8:38 or around 10 seconds quicker than last time for me. Steve was much quicker as well, 8:55 for him. Maybe we get into the 8:20s next week for our final session before Australian Masters Athletic Championships.

Like a few weeks ago I am scheduled to run 3000m on Thursday and 5000m on Friday (with a 4km XC on Sunday). Looks like a light couple of days in volume terms coming up as I am still 143km for the last 7 days.

Next week, on Thursday, we will run our last race before the championships, another 5000m. I won't be fresh enough to perform this week but next week will be better.

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.
