Continued heat wave, increased work and some social life de-railed me. I am annoyed but it is what it is.

8 July

Easy run 5K @ 29:08 / 5:48 pace
Low aerobic 3K @ 30:08

Again horribly hot and humid. 33'C / 90F - 70% humidity. No good workout can happen like that. Ill just keep grinding through it.

Yes, it is not the intensity that is unbearable, it is kinda ordinary to get random peaks of 45/115 here. It is the duration, 2 weeks near 40/105, it grows its own dynamic. I read that Greece holds the European top recorded temp with 48/118.5 baack in the 80s, no harm done, but a couple of years after that there was a whole week at 42/110, many people died then.
Hope Avishek and everyone else keeping safe.
Here it finally poured a good storm on Friday night and then we had a weekend with north (cool and dry) winds so everything is better now.

Sprints target pace is 4:05
I got 4:03 / 4:03 / 4:02 / 4:11 / 4:10 / 4:00 / 4:10 / 3:38

30 June

Low aerobic zone run 10K @ 1:21:41 ( 8:10 pace )

Had sub-8:00 pace till 7th km ,  big regress at the last 3. Watch insists i am very slowly but steadily improving (!!!). Got my best race predictions ever last night.
Conditions still the same , 30 C / 86F and 70% RH. Its been like this for almost 2 weeks straight now, it is exhausting.
Today is the hottest day of the last few years, expected to reach 44C/111F at some places. Will be a bit cooler in my city but still around 40/105. We already have 30C/86F now and it is 11AM lol.

28 June

Easy run 6K @ 35:36 ( 5:56 pace )
Low aerobic zone run 3K @ 29:49 ( 9:56 pace )

I got deceived! Went out at 11pm again. Temperature was supposed to be 2-3 Celsium degrees lower, but more important, north winds were expected to keep RH under 50%.
BS! No winds at all, again around 32'C/90F and > 70% RH. Total collapse after 5K. Traded one more km of running and one less km of walking. That's something.
Weight after session : 86.4kg , 2.2kg/5lbs less than my net morning weight of the same day!! Yup, that was a little sweaty ride lol.

Reporting a morning weight of 78.5kg (173 lbs) and a bodyfat reading of 12.5% on that BI scale, both the lowest of the last 20 years or so.
Happy about the bodyfat and how it looks shirtless. Not happy about looking too small/thin in clothes.

Yes, that is a thought i like to do. It is around October when heat settles down for good (and im also 1.5 month back from summer holidays by then) when my performance always peaks breaking plateaus, it has happened 3 years in a row now. If I manage to be at current levels as a starting point, i'm salivating to where i can reach. Lets see.

Same sets/reps with last week, just grinding through them. Humidity heat and bad air quality (African dust these days) affects even home workouts.

Well said. It is just convenience/comfort zone, no real problem. But still not happening lol

24 June

Easy run 5K @ 28:23 ( 5:40 pace )
Low aerobic zone run 4K @ 38:27 ( 9:30 pace )

Went out at 11pm, conditions were something like 32'C/90F and 70% RH. Plain horrific.
Was keeping 5:40 pace with surprising ease, but after 4K , although i didn't feel tired, HR was steady at 180+bpm. Stopped running, did another 4K in low-aerobic-zone jog fashion.

22 June

VO2-max run

4K warmup
Sprint 4x800m / 4 minutes walking rest
2K cool down

Target pace for the 800s was 4:24
I got 4:28 / 4:35 / 4:34 / 4:47

Was supposed to do 5 sprints but stopped at 4 because of drop-off and feeling. Summer is here for good, even at 11pm it is still awfully hot and humid.
Surprised i even got those 4 so fast.
The only viable solution is early morning runs but im not the morning type, it ain't happening. Ill just grind through whatever conditions i meet late night.

Here's this week weather forecast for where i live, doesn't look like there is room for any quality run lol:

19 June

4K slow warmup
Sprint 0*800m
2K slow cool-down

Had a headache, thought i could run it off but didn't work, sprints were impossible.



21 June

Open sea recreational swim, watch said it was about 1K worth in about 45 minutes.

Small derail again, caused by weather randonmly alternating between extreme heat and storms and also a few social stuff. Back on track today hopefully. Gotta push it.

Easy run , about 10K in a little over an hour.

Big fail. Was too hot, had eaten less than 3 hours before and on top of that my pacing sucked. Went out way too fast, did 6K @ 5:30 pace and gassed out.
Decided to adjust, did another 4K slow jog and called it a day.
