Long slow run 10.2K @ 1:26:47
Aaaaaand, after 1,5 years with the watch and numerous tries, i got it. I found a breath/stride combination that had me going slow and easy and controllable. Used the breathing pattern to also find a good 'sequence' to check pace/HR for adjusting. It worked great, first time my watch accepts such a long workout for "base" , immediate impact on all other readings/stats!
I read a few articles lately, I should invest more on this low-aerobic zone. It is the slowest one to improve, but also very important, need to stick with it for a while. Gonna do it now that i finally found how. Next race is probably somewhere in May anyway so it is a good time to experiment. I suppose it will also have positive effects on body-fat, no better pure fat burner than 90+ minutes of LISS.
So my plan stays the same , 3 runs a week :
1 "Easy" run, 1 to 1,5 hours.
1 "Long slow" run , 90 to 120 mins , whatever distance i can get staying in low aerobic HR zone.
1 "Anaerobic" run , cycling between 3K rempo / 6*800m / 8*400m
Should fit a 4th run somewhere, but i am also doing 2 strength workouts/week too. Maybe i can do both one day. I bumped upon a nice short EMOTM powerbag workout lately, i might use this together with a shorter easy run to make a 4th run and 3rd strength workout, that would be ideal!
