Sea Fog and Drizzle Runs 20km ; Breaking 2 Eliud Kipchoge Alphafly Long Term Review

Morning runs from home, 20km all up including the final 10km as a quick Tempo run. Weather was constant light drizzle, cloudy, no sun, a joy to be out there running in the mist. Yesterday afternoon my recovery run also turned into a quick 10km Tempo Run. I'm running better every day now, less than 3 weeks until I start racing proper events again. This mornings run was done in the Breaking 2 Eliud Kipchoge Alphafly. A good choice on a wet day, the shoes still have decent traction after all these years. I may pull them out again for my Half Marathon in May.

Your training is going well Bruce. I'm impressed with mine, bought 3 pairs of the 1s. Original pair has 750+ ks on them and they still feel good.

Long Hilly Run 20km ; 4 x 100m, 3 x 200m, 3 x 300m strides

This morning out for a long, hilly 20km in 84 minutes. Plenty of others out there getting the job done before the heat of the day. Spotted Ewen out there at one point putting in a surge I could barely match. In the afternoon still hot. I ran 5km including 4 x 100m (19,17,15,14), 3 x 200m (32,31,31) and 3 x 300m (51,48,48) strides. Legs felt good once they got going. All up 25km for the day, 122km last 7 days. Monday morning a long run including 5 x 100m strides (18,16,15,14,14) and a 600m effort at 3:10/km. On New Years Day 5km Parkrun events at 730am Gungahlin and 930am Tuggeranong. I'll run the first flat out. If I am able to I'd like to break the current M55 record on the Tuggeranong course. It's held by Simon Claringbold with 4 identical times of 17:26. I'm not sure I can on my current form, especially as a second run for the day. If I can't I'll try later in the year when I am fresh and it's a little cooler.

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.
