30 June

Low aerobic zone run 10K @ 1:21:41 ( 8:10 pace )

Had sub-8:00 pace till 7th km ,  big regress at the last 3. Watch insists i am very slowly but steadily improving (!!!). Got my best race predictions ever last night.
Conditions still the same , 30 C / 86F and 70% RH. Its been like this for almost 2 weeks straight now, it is exhausting.
Today is the hottest day of the last few years, expected to reach 44C/111F at some places. Will be a bit cooler in my city but still around 40/105. We already have 30C/86F now and it is 11AM lol.

at least none of us is in the pacific northwest, where almost 500 people have died in an absolutely epic heat wave. portland, oregon and las vegas now have the same all-time high temperature: 117/47.2. it was 36+ here yesterday but then poured rain and it's supposed to be nicer over the weekend.

actually, come to think of it, avishek lived in seattle the last i heard of him. hope he's keeping cool enough.

Yes, it is not the intensity that is unbearable, it is kinda ordinary to get random peaks of 45/115 here. It is the duration, 2 weeks near 40/105, it grows its own dynamic. I read that Greece holds the European top recorded temp with 48/118.5 baack in the 80s, no harm done, but a couple of years after that there was a whole week at 42/110, many people died then.
Hope Avishek and everyone else keeping safe.
Here it finally poured a good storm on Friday night and then we had a weekend with north (cool and dry) winds so everything is better now.

Continued heat wave, increased work and some social life de-railed me. I am annoyed but it is what it is.

8 July

Easy run 5K @ 29:08 / 5:48 pace
Low aerobic 3K @ 30:08

Again horribly hot and humid. 33'C / 90F - 70% humidity. No good workout can happen like that. Ill just keep grinding through it.

10 July

Tempo run

3.5K slow jog warmup
Sprint 3 x 1500m / 2.5 minutes walking rest


Target pace for the 1500s was 4:53
I got 4:52 / 5:11 / 5:08

Slightly better conditions , 28'C/82'F - 60% RH - 19'C/66'F dew point. Still not ideal but better than all recent workouts. There was some good air to breathe.
Missed target pace at 2/3 sprints but I'm still happy, last time i did this workout i quit my last 1500 coz i got dizzy from the heat.

14 July

Easy run 8K @ 50:09 ( 6:15 pace )
Low aerobic zone run 2.5K @ 23:34

Finally actively regulated my pace to the heat ( again 30'C/86F and 65%RH ). Worked good, i lately gave up at fifth or sixth km @ 5:50 , now i did 8K , 10% slower for 40-50% more distance, good trade-off.

17 July

VO2-max run

4K warmup
Sprint 5x800m / 4 minutes walking rest
1K cool down

Target pace for the 800s was 4:24
I got 4:23 / 4:40 / 4:35 / 4:45 / 4:30

Almost on target, while conditions still bad, 30C/86F but a little lower RH , something like 60%.
Delighted that i am starting to get good performance at those conditions.

19 July

Workout #1 ( 7:00pm ):


SS1a : UPRIGHT ROWS : 12 @ 25 kg
SS1b : BICEP CURLS : 10 @ 25 kg
SS1c : CHAIR TRICEP DIPS : 15 @ BW
SS1 info : 8 rounds


Workout #2 ( 10:30pm):

Easy run 8K @ 49:13 ( 6:09 pace )
Low aerobic zone run 2K @  20:09

A bit worse weather today, same temperature but increased humidity, 80% or so, sweating like crazy.
Very impressed and happy that i still got some small progress, having lifted a couple hours too before the run.


Lol, double workout Monday after having worked out on Saturday and Sunday too, KF I'm coming after you.
Holidays are approaching, so I'm trying to create some planned overreaching to have something to taper.

Weekend : 30 minutes / 500m recreational swimming each day,

27 July

Easy run 8K @ 47:22 ( 5:55 pace )
Low aerobic zone run 3K @ 28:40

Was still very hot for 11pm ( 30C/86F ) but humidity was lower so i got an instant performance boost:
Got sub 6' 8K , HR skyrocketed again at that point so i switched to ultra slow, did more mileage there too for a total of 11K which hasn't happened since early June!

So that damn heat wave continued and then i went away for 3 weeks of summer holidays so that makes a whole month of no training.

28 August

Easy run 10K @ 1:07:53 ( 6:47 pace )

Extremely rusty of course. Started out pretty fine but got very tired at around 6.5K, slowed down and continued though.
Conditions still shity, again over 30'C and 70% RH , but it is getting better, i was just unlucky and that specific night was too humid and hot.

It is a good starting point , here is last year's first run after similar off :

Quote from: vag on September 01, 2020, 08:59:17 am
28 August 2020

'Easy' RUN 6K @ 41:12

Average pace 6:52 , average HR 163(!!!)

So this year i did 66% more distance in a little faster pace. To compare it directly, my 6K pace yesterday was 6:15. Huge difference, totally different runner.
