Long Run Arboretum ; Some Analysis
This morning a sleep in, then 1:45 through the Arboretum on the hilly loop. It will only be a 10 minute loosener this afternoon.
I spent the afternoon looking at my taper from last year for AMA Championships (and previous years) just to check I am on track and know what needs to happen from here.
In 2014 3 weeks before AMA Champs and this year too basically the same set except 2014 on track, this year on undulating grass. The times (2014 track ; 2015 grass): 2000m 6:20 / 6:31, 1500m 4:48 / 4:49, 1200m 3:49 / 3:51,800m 2:33 / 2:26, 400m 69 / 66. Not much difference there in the cumulative, 2 seconds quicker on track which means I must be up on form compared to last year, especially leg speed...not much difference at 2000m (the differential grass to track is +/- 10 seconds/km). I'll only really know when I get fully tapered down to 85km for the week at the championships. The ACT Masters 5000m is a week earlier in the taper. I can't race final week of ACT Masters track (officiating), a session instead.
