2 April

Low aerobic HR zone run 9K @ 1:07:56 ( 7:33 pace )

That was the longest (in km) low HR run of 2024.
Also the longest (in duration) any kind of run of 2024.
Was a bit slower than last week's low HR run though. Oh well, can't have it all.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

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?

9 April

RUN 8K @ 42:40 ( 5:19 pace )

Fastest run of 2024.
5K split was 26:59 , also fastest of 2024 , paced 5:22.
But besides the fastest 5K , i also got negative split for the last 3K too!
Finally, last km (although it has 500m uphill) was done in 4:50 which again fastest km split of 2024 in a run and challenges even my 1K tempos.
Freaking awesome!

11 April

Low aerobic HR zone run 11K @ 1:19:23 ( 7:13 pace )

By far the longest (in km AND duration) any kind of run of 2024.
Fastest low aerobic HR zone run of 2024 too, despite it being the longest one.
Actually, i have done only a handful better/faster long slow runs ever, the last 2-3 weeks before my half marathon. This one was top 5 ever easy.
God damn, why didn't i start 2 weeks earlier, improvements are raging.
Ok, one more intense workout over the weekend and then it's taper week.

13 April

"Race emulation run

2K low aerobic HR zone warmup
Run 6x800m @ race target pace / 90'' walking rest
2K low aerobic HR zone cool down

Goal pace was 4:45 (which leads to 47:30 10K run and a whole minute PR ).
I got : 4:45 4:47 4:45 4:43 4:46 4:41

That was nice. Body tended to pick up a 4:40 pace but i controlled it. If I'm on a good day and weather helps, it feels like i can keep this for the entire 10K race.

Here are my goals:
47:30 or below will be amazing
47:30 to 48:30 (PR) will be success
48:30 to 50:00 will be acceptable if something goes bad, e.g shoe untied like last year , bad weather, some small ache/mishap etc.
50:00 and above will be pure fail.

15 April

Run 5K @ 26:01 ( 5:12 pace )

Taper week, keeping same intensity but lowering mileage as always.
This 5K was done up-tempo but nowhere near max, expecting its average pace to land about 10'' below recent 5:20 8Ks. Bingo!

17 April

2K low aerobic HR zone warmup
Run 1500m @ race target pace
2K low aerobic HR zone cool down

Went for 4:45 pace , hit 4:46 without even looking watch much. Only saw the 1K split which was 4:40 so i tried to regulate by feel for the other 500m, it worked.
It felt like lungs/heart are up for doing this for the entire 10K. Legs were kinda tired but that's what this week is for,

19 April

SS1a : DIPS: 7 @ BW
SS1b : CHINUPS: 6  @ BW
SS1 info : 5 rounds

TREADMILL:
Low aerobic HR zone run 5K @ 29:58 ( 5:59 pace )

That's my first ever sub-6' low aerobic zone 5K. Treadmill is faster than real for me but still its best performance ever even on treadmill.



21 April

10K RACE : 48:27 official  (4:50 pace)  :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record:

Broke my PR by 5 seconds!!! Watch beeped 10K @ 48:17 a few meters before the finish line but i won't count that, its an IAAF officially certified race so chip time it is.
Can't say i was on my best fitness/race day ever, but it was definitely the most matured one. Controlled reserves and pace very well, brought it where i wanted, to be able to push the last km for the PR and so i did ( final km split 4:42 , 8'' below average which gave me the 5'' PR).
Also, my first 5K split was 24:08 so second one was 24:20 , but those first 5K include 2km of downhill ( timed 4:30 both ). To give some perspective, my previous PR at the same race was 48:32  but first 5K split was 23:10.
So considering/normalizing the downhill, this time i can claim i had negative 2nd split, progress!!!  :headbang: :ibrunning:

Thanks guys, i really appreciate the support!!!

Ok lets catch up:

23 April

BENCH PRESS: 4x10 @ 45 kg
SEATED CABLE ROW : 4x10 @ 56 kg
DB LATERAL RAISES :4x10 @ 10kg

STATIONARY BIKE : 15 minutes / 10km

-Felt fatigued, decided to take the change to deload a bit.



24 April

Run 7K @ 50:51 ( 5:50 pace )

Ultra bad, was nice and fast and springy until 4-5K but then i got too fatigued , felt like hitting the wall after 5.5K.
Weird, systemic fatigue i guess?



Took the rest of the week off, Partly voluntary, partly due to much work and life.
It would be perfectly fine but i forgot that it is Easter week now, uh-oh gotta try to save what i can.
