Just a terminology correction, this is actually a 1 step approach, i could even say it is something between 1-step and drop-step.
That is good news though, means your max potential is higher than that. A proper 3 steps jump ( 1-2-3-plant-jump ) should have you jumping 2-3 inches higher!
Keep it up, so good to have someone still training for vert in here.  :highfive:

Easy run 13K @ 1:17:00

Ties longest sub-6' pace ever, but today average pace was 5:55 , previous was 5:57 , so that is again some kind of silly  :personal-record: :ibrunning:

'Speed form' run

3K warm up
Sprint 8x400m / about 3.5 minutes walking rest
1.5K cool down

Goal pace for the 400s was 4:15
Got all splits negative, most sprints around 4:10 , a few 3:5x , and at then there was this 2nd sprint that synced to be all downhill and i went all out:
I got 1:19 ( 3:19 pace )  which is lifetime  :personal-record: ( previous was 1:20). I also got a reading of a max pace of 2:42 / 22.2kmh at the beginning of that max sprint,  :personal-record:

Great run, felt so fast! Even more impressive than the PR is  that i still got the following 6 sprints below target pace, without extra rest!

Wow, 3 days without training and i feel like i am a couch potato traitor that took a break for months lol

Easy run 12K @ 1:17:50

Failed session because:
  • It was cold and windy outside but not as much as i thought, so i ended up over-dressed.
  • I forgot i ate late, so i went running about 2.5 hours after a (heavy) lunch.
Result was too heavy legs, sweating like crazy, HR going up too easy too much. Ended up with 6:29 average pace, half a minute slower than ordinary.
Shit happens!  ::)

'VO2 max' run

2K warmup
HIIT 5x800m / walking rest equal to interval time
2K cooldown

Target pace for the 800s is 4:36.
I got 4:35 / 4:22 / 4:31 / 4:15 / 4:35 , I finally got all splits negative , winning!  :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning:
Also that 4th sprint was timed at 3:24 which is ( even by just 1 second ) a lifetime  :personal-record:

ATG PAUSED SQUAT ( tempo 3:2:1  ):
5x12 @ 25kg
Finisher 25 @ 25kg ( + 13 reps )

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 15 @ BW
SS1b : BENT OVER ROWS : 15 @ 25kg
SS1 info : 7 rounds
Finisher:
PUSHUPS 23@BW ( + 8 reps )
BENT OVER ROWS : 23 @ 25kg ( + 8 reps )

Added the finishers. Not as an extra set like in the other training day. This one is already 1 hour long and exhausting, so substituted the last set of each exercise with an AMRAP finisher.
Very very nice!

Low aerobic zone run

7.5K @ 59:41 , 7:55 pace / 134 bpm

Shorter distance today. Might attempt to do a 2nd such run later in the week.
Today for the first time, this run's pace landed under 8:00 , nice!

13 March

Tempo run:

2K warmup
3x1.5K / 5 minutes walking rest
1K slow jog cool down

Target pace was 5:06.
Decided to do a max 1st attempt , hoping to keep the other two around 5:15.
I got 4:35 / 5:10 / 5:12. Great!!!
At the first sprint i continued to complete a mile, to register 2 new lifetime PRs : 7:19 mile and 6:53 1.5K  :personal-record: :ibrunning: :personal-record: :ibrunning:

Easy run 17.5K @ 1:51:33

This is lifetime distance AND duration PR , previous were 17K / 1:48:00 ,  :personal-record: :ibrunning: :personal-record: :ibrunning:

First 12K were again sup 6:00 km pace, but then it got bad, especially after 14K. I don't know what happened, lungs were fine but legs got stiff and i got slow.
Felt pretty much like hitting the wall, I run out of carbs/glycogen maybe? I wasn't prepared for a big run now that i think about it, this was done at night, both lunch of the same day and dinner of previous night were low on carbs.
