Hi TheEd - hope you are well.
l feel a bit better after the bad experience at the weekend. Running is helping deal with how I feel.
I did the 5k paced in 18;45 on Saturday
I did 70 easy (HR 125) Sunday and a steadier 60 yesterday (HR 132)
Today was 10 x 400 at the track in cold breezy conditions;
time - ave HR / max / after rest
1/ 79.5 - 151 / 162 / 117
2/ 77.6 - 149 / 166 / 125
3/ 79.4 - 152 / 167 / 125
4/ 79.1 - 153 / 169 / 125
5/ 78.4 - 155 / 168 / 131
6/ 77.7 - 156 / 169 / 134
7/ 79.0 - 159 / 170 / 133
8/ 78.7 - 160 / 170 / 134
9/ 78.3 - 159 / 170 / 135
10/ 77.9 - 158 / 171 / 133
ave 78.6 per rep
I thought this would be a struggle as it the 1st speed session since May. But I loved it and it does not compare badly to the sesson in May, when I averaged 76.5. I tried to hold back a little and run smooth. I could have done more or gone a bit faster if needed.
Easy stuff now -
Wed 20 jog + strength
Thu 40 easy
Fri - standard fartlek
Sat - rest
Sun - race 10k
All the best -- Dave
