Low aerobic HR zone run 11K @ 1:28:03 ( 8:00 pace )

Pacing fail, was trying to keep it steady at 7:30 but i was failing, i kept going faster (high 6s) , then HR would go into aerobic zone, then walk to lower it and then all over again.

My old o-lift shoes kicked the bucket. Had to get new ones, decided to go to a more generic multi purpose training shoe that can still support squats etc, since i dont't go heavy on them anymore.
I got the Reebok nano x2 , yeah, as crossfit as it gets  :P
First impressions are great. The huge heel drop of adipowers is gone of course but it still has some.
It felt as steady and firm as o-lift shoes during squats, but when you flex it, it bends. Little jog and jumps felt nice and cushioning appeared. Too early but i really liked it.

Run 12K @ 1:11:50 ( 5:59 pace )

Tried to go as long as i could at around 5:50 pace.
It was going great until around 10.5K , then it seems that i hit the wall, last 1.5K was a stiff slow exhausting grind.
Weird that it happened so early, it usually hits me 10-15 mins / 2-3 km later but system was low on carbs so it makes some sense.

Super easy run 7K @ 47:41 ( 6:48 pace )

Just wanted to get a few kms in without them being either taxing or too slow.
So i went at the pace that i felt very comfortable, right at the threshold of getting (even a little bit ) tired.
Average heart rate was 148, awfully close to this being a low aerobic zone run, though i never walked to get them HR down or even looked at the watch. Nice!

Low aerobic HR zone run 11K @ 1:26:08 ( 7:50 pace )

Very nice! Had to go back to May to find a dedicated low aerobic run day and back to February to find one longer than 10K.
Damn it, i am sooo far back from where i was.
I don't see me being at peak fitness at 15 Oct that the half marathon race is. But if i keep it up like now i see me being able to break 2h, with which ill be very happy.

Damn, that absolutely sucks!!! Even more that it caught you at the peak of a long a time consuming training right before the race.
What can you do. Heal well, shit happens, you'll crush it next time.

Right. I had a conversation with a runner friend a couple of hours ago and he noted that i must also practice carb gels.
Damn it there is not enough time. I got 3 more weeks plus the final one. Ill focus more.

Easy run 8K @ 46:59 (5:52 pace)

More or less same with last week. I thought i was slow but when i finished i realized i just went too easy, i wasn't tired at all.
Need to start actively pushing a bit more, time is running out, only 30 days left for the half marathon.
