6 October

Low aerobic HR zone run 13K @ 1:43:23 ( 7:57 pace )

I would have liked to be a bit faster at this point (or if you prefer, HR to stay lower at slow speeds) but it is what it is.
Had to go back to May 2021 though to find such a long low aerobic run so props!

Entering final (taper) week before the HM

8 October

"Race emulation run"

Low aerobic HR zone warm up2K
Sprint 10x800m @ goal race pace / 90'' walking rest
Low aerobic HR zone cool down 2K

Used 5:30 as goal pace. Race plan is to keep that pace until 13K, then do a 6:00 average for the next 7K to reach 20K with about 6.5 minutes margin for the last 1K to break 2h.
Keeping 5:30 was  fairly easy, despite being un-recovered. Body tended to use 5:20 but i regulated. Very nice.
At the last 800 'sprint' (where i was tired, having done about 12K in total already) i pushed to see what i can get in such a state, got 4:50 pace, awesome!

If tapering week goes well i am now optimistic i'll get that sub-2h goal.

10 October

Run 8K @ 43:12 ( 5:24 pace )

Buffering distance, not intensity for taper week.
Wow very nice. Not fully recovered from 14K 48hrs ago and coming from a bad/short night sleep, but still very fast (compared to recent levels), rather easy.
Looked back in my log, i haven't done anything under 5:30 since my 10K race back in April, that's awesome.
Also, predicted HM race time in my watch is now under 2 hours, also for the first time since April. That's awesome too.

12 October

Low aerobic HR zone warm-up 2.5 K
Run 4K @ race pace
Low aerobic HR zone warm-up 2.5 K

Nice and short and easy. Went for 5:30 for the race-pace-4K , got 5:28. Very happy with how efortless it felt.
Also practiced eating an energy gel, not that i needed it, just to see if it will upset my stomach, if/how i can eat it while running etc. All good!
Alright, starting carb loading tonight , 2.5 days left for race start.

15 October

HALF MARATHON RACE : 1:54:11 electronic  :headbang: :personal-record: :ibrunning: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

Incredible achievement, performance, accomplishment feeling.
Tapering, race effect and a glorious dry chill night kicked in all together. Instead of starting with 5:30 as planned, body insisted going with 5:00.
I regulated it to around 5:15 which felt easy, to not burn out and see how long i can go like that.
It lasted till km 15-16, then i (kinda) hit the wall but gels and electrolytes and some super effort kept me at around 5:30-5:40 till the finish line for an incredible 5:24 average.

1st 10K time : 52:37
2nd 10K time : 55:00 ( so 20K split around 1:47:30 )
Fastest KM : 5:07 (2nd)
Slowest KM : 5:45 (17th)

Thanks!!!
So what now? I feel i want to bulk a little. Gym available finally, no race ahead, good timing. Let's say till Xmas, 2 good months of bulk.
I'll keep this cardio after weights though. And try to get my 3 weekly runs in to at least preserve current fitness levels.

19 October

Run 6K @ 34:31 ( 5:45 pace )
Low aerobic HR zone run : 4K @ 32:02 ( 8:00 pace )

Legs still unrecovered from that HM monstrosity and squatting 24 hrs before that run.
Oh well, no reason to push it, i just gave up the planned 10K run at 6th km and completed the rest in super easy mode.

Thank you!!!
As for going all the way, of course it is the plan. It is amazing how addictive it becomes conquering new achievements. It will take more dedication but it obviously works.
And since I'm Greek, what is more more obvious and glorious as a goal than doing the classic marathon route.
I am eyeing the one in 2 years from now but if training goes too well i could do it next year too.

22 October

"Speed form" run

-4K warm up

Didn't know what to expect for the 400s. Was secretly hoping i can get 4:00 km pace average, almost nailed it, sprints were all between 4:00 and 4:15, fastest 3:45.
