8 September

Low aerobic zone run

11K @ 1:25:13 ( 7:45 pace )

Double distance from last time, yet 25 seconds per km faster.

---

9 September

2K Warmup
Sprint 3x800m / 3-4 minutes walking rest.
2K Cool down

Paces i got were 4:36 / 4:35 / 4:30, which are about 5''/km faster than last week. But most important, the feel was improved, I felt i had better breaths and spring.

---

Generally, my body is pretty much wrecked from jumping straight on that 1:45 HM program and training 6*week out of nowhere.
But i am already catching up, adapting, while fitness metrics are rallying up already.
Love it

2 September

1.5K Warmup
Sprint 3x800m / 3-4 minutes walking rest.
1.5K Cool down

New HIIT protocol calls not for target-paced sprints, but hit them hard (RPE 9+), almost max.
Paces i got were 4:38 / 4:43 / 4:25, the slower ones had some significant uphill part in them. Not bad at all.

29 August

Run 8K @ 46:32 ( 5:49 pace )

1km more while 25''/km faster in average, despite still very got and humid ( T+DI 82+71 @ 11pm ), very nice!

This is the first of 8 weeks preparation for the big night half-marathon race @ 15 October.
Last year i started much less fit ( got to 5:50 mid September ) , did a crappy preparation ( much more weights and stationary bike than actual running mileage ), yet did 1:54
So this year with better start and focused planned preparation, i am aiming for 1:45.
Lets go get it

Low aerobic zone run 3K @ 25:32 (8:30 pace)

T+DI 163 ( 93+70 ) @ 11:30 pm, cmon heat wave give us a break!
It had a  pleasant breeze when i started and i felt fast and springy. But breeze suddenly stopped, i kept that fast pace and i overheated at 5K
Switched to low aerobic zone, did 3 more kms to get the initial 8K goal and called it a day.
