Easy run 12.25K @ 1:15:31

Target pace 6:07, got 6:10. Was en route to faster but had a sudden rain on the last 2K  that slowed me down, 10K split pace was 6:04

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

'Speed form' workout

2K warmup
8x400m @ 95% / 3-4 mins walk/jog recovery
2K cooldown

Most sprints were around Times 1:45 (4:25 pace), fastest 1:40 (4:11 pace) , slowest 1:51 (4:38 pace).
Theoretical target pace for those 400s is 4:15 so i was a tad slower.
In my defense, i haven't done 400s in 2 months and it was freezing temperature, strong wind and below freezing 'feels like'.

In other news :
  • Winter attack started yesterday, will last about one week, incoming derail.
  • Virtual race results: 30/300 overall , 3/27 M45 , a fucking podium lol!  :headbang: :highfive: :ibrunning:

16 February

Easy run 11.5K @ 1:14:00

Pace 6:28, way too slow (should be around 6:10) but it was too cold ( something like temp 1'C / feels like-5'C ). Just happy that still went out and recorded some mileage.

18 February

Low aerobic zone run

11K @ 1:34:25 , 8:34 pace / 133 bpm

Last time i did this i got 10K @ 1:26:00 , 8:33 pace / 136 bpm , more or less the same.

Willing to continue this experiment (low aerobic zone) for the rest February and all March. I missed last week's such run but i expect to start seeing improvements the next (2) time(s).

EMOM:
C1a: 5 deadlifts
C1b: 5 hang cleans
C1c: 5 front squats
C1d: 5 OHP
C1 info : 10 rounds

Not my cup of tea, annoying AF.
Lasts only 10 minutes though, so i should try to get used to it, it seems like a perfect addition for running days, especially the low zone ones.



20 February

Tempo run:

2K slow jog warmup
3x1.5K / 2.5 minutes walking rest
2K slow jog cool down

Decided that the HIIT version of tempo is better suited than the concrete longer distance one, for my training target (mostly 5K , also 10K but with smaller focus ).
Target pace was 5:06 , got all sprints slightly negative: 4:51 / 4:52 / 5:01 , all buffered at the 'hard run but not max' effort level, very very nice.
Also, those three 1.5K intervals together with the walking rests logged a 5K@27:44, PR at this up/down course is  26:50 , awesome!

Workout 1:

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 15 @ BW ( +3 reps for 4 sets )
SS1b : BENT OVER ROWS : 15 @ 25 kg ( +3 reps for 4 sets )
SS1 info : 8 rounds

Strong!



Workout 2:

Easy run 12K @ 1:19:38

Too slow. Went for this run right after finishing the strength workout logged above. Didn't quite work, was feeling tired from the beginning and HR was going too high too easy.
Oh well, got the easy kms in, even going 20s slower than target pace.

no such thing as too slow on a run like that IMHO.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

True, but it is always frustrating when the same effort running is slower than you are used to.

C1c : CHAIR TRICEP DIPS : 12 @ BW
C1 info : 8 rounds

A little weaker today. This 8-round circuit is normally the entire workout, with an added first set of straight leg DLs(easy). The fatigue from squats prior to it seem to have severely affected it. Yeah, no shit Sherlock!  ;D

27 February

'VO2 max' run

2K warmup
HIIT 5x800m / walking rest equal to interval time
1.5K cooldown

Target pace for the 800s is 4:36.
I got 4:35 / 4:45 / 4:35 / 4:45 / 4:59. Canceled the 6th sprint because big drop at 5th.
A bit displeased, i wanted to get the target this time. I was closer on average than last time, but still, I pushed but it wasn't happening.
