5 September

Run 6K @ 38:09 ( 6:21 pace ) + 1K cool-down @ 7:30 pace

The bad news:
I did this run up-tempo. Tried to go for as long as i could at around 6:00 pace (which isn't even close to fast) but my body wasn't ready for this.
I could only hold it for 2.5K, got way too tired and heart rate raised to 185, wtf.

The good news:
I was still 32'' per km faster for the 6K than last time.
Even with the slow last cooldown km i was over 20''/km faster on average compared to last time, while i did 1km more.

Also, this was weather-wise one of the worse running nights ever, T (82) + DI (71) = 155 mid September, gimme a fkn break!!!!

Gotta be patient and persistent.

Was aiming 5:00 pace for the 800s.

11 September

Low aerobic HR zone run 6K @ 48:40 ( 8:06 pace )

I'm so out of shape. I couldn't keep my HR below 150 for shit. But watch said it was worth it, fitness metrics jumped up today.
Gotta be patient.

16 September

Run 8K @ 49:57 ( 6:14 pace )

Finally an impressive improvement:
That was longest run of the season, 20'' per km faster than previous best while 1km longer, and the 6K 'benchmark split pace' dropped from 6:20 to 6:11.
Much better pacing and feeling overall.

21 September

Run 9K @ 59:53 ( 6:39 pace )

Seems like I'm doing everything wrong at this half marathon preparation.
Now i spontaneously squatted on Friday ( first time since early July) while knowing i have to go for the challenging run of the week next day.
So of course next day legs were damn sore sabotaging my run. On the good side, lungs were great, HR wouldn't rise.
Plus, despite the pain, it was the longest run of the season in length and duration.
