Thanks guys! It goes fairly easy so far, i was never a big breakfast fan (except when staying at hotels of course where you have to honor the buffet). My eating plan was already pretty close to 16:8 but whenever i'd be hungry i'd bite something. I am pretty sure that there were many days i didn't, unintended. But now that i am forbidden to, fucking mind craves it. Very easy to deal with it so far though, let's see if duration escalates it.

14 April

Low aerobic zone run

11K @ 1:26:14 , 7:50 pace / 134bpm

A bit slower today, previous week i did 10K @ 7:46.
However, this one today was the longest sub-8'-pace low aerobic zone run ever, just to keep the silly PRs streak going  ;D

22 April

Low aerobic zone run

11.5K @ 1:28:03 , 7:39 pace / 134bpm

Fastest low aerobic run ever, being longer too!   :personal-record: :ibrunning: :personal-record: :ibrunning:
Previous fastest was 10K @ 7:46.
Previous longest sub-8' was 11K @ 7:50 pace
Longest ever is 13.5K but that was @ 8:01 pace. Gotta beat that too, next stop = 14K sub 8'

24 April

'Speed form' run

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

Goal pace for the 400s was 4:05
I got 4:04 / 3:51 / 3:50 / 4:10 / 4:05 / 3:48 / 3:49 / 4:00
Progress!! last time average was 4:10 and was getting a couple of 3:5x , looks like im 10s faster after 1 month.
Garmin acknowledges it too, it upped my VO2max to 43 , estimated 5K race time is 24:36 (still off but fastest ever ) , estimated  10K race time 52:50, faster than real PR, that's a first!
Happy!  ;D :ibrunning:

28 April

Low aerobic zone run

12K @ 1:32:31 , 7:42 pace / 133 bpm

Now this is the longest sub-8 low aerobic run ever, but not the fastest.
Last week was 11.5K @ 7:39 , fastest but not longest.
Let's see if both go down next week   ;D

Greek Easter, even in lock-down, so a few days of derail, no training, more eating, more drinking, a few cigars. Totally worth it!  ;D

3 May 2020

Tempo run

3.5K slow jog warmup
3x1.5K / 2 minutes walking rest
1.5K slow jog cool down

Target pace for the 1500s was 4:53
I got 4:58 / 5:00 / 5:05

Fail. Felt fresh and fast and all but it was too hot (hottest day of the year so far, actually hottest early May day of the decade ) plus there was a lot of African dust in the air. Not sure if this affects the run but i felt like the air i was breathing in didn't have enough oxygen. Humidity was low too so it wasn't that. Maybe just heat acclimatization.

True,  looks like we are entering the hatred dew-point-performance-normalization period.

4 May

Low aerobic zone run

13K @ 1:46:41 , 8:12 pace / 135 bpm

Wow, almost 30 seconds per km slower than usual. Got the readings early on that this is going slow so just kept it easy for longer.
It has to be the increased heat and humidity, yesterday it was cooler but humidity went up, dew point was around 20 C ( 68 F ).
Im not gonna bother with heat and calculations, i will just carry on with my current program, it feels like it is working, if numbers decline because of dew point, so be it.
Watch agrees, it says im at my best condition ever. VO2 max upped to 44 despite 2 'fail runs'. It says training load and balance are ideal and I'm also peaked because of recent rest and that i should take advantage of my peak state while it lasts. Tempting lol
