10k & 21k Training

[DaveM40]

Hi TheEd - bit of a change round for this week now;

I could not get time to go to the race today, as I have family and work things. It goes not matter much as it was just a small club members handicap race. I have plenty of XC racing in January anyway...

I DID have time to train early this morning in the gym, so I did the 5 x 2000 session;

1/ 7:07 - 156 / 161 / 109

2/ 7:07 - 157 / 164 / 118

3/ 7:07 - 160 / 167 / 127

4/ 7:07 - 163 / 169 / 128

5/ 7:05 - 166 / 171 / 130

I worked hard, but the legs felt really good. I think the HR reading are a little higher, but it was warmer than normal in the gym. I guess they have been playing around with the air con again ... :mad:

Felt great overall!

Rest of week now looks like;

Wed - easy 60

Thu - Long 90

Fri - rest

Sat - 5k paced (or maybe 8 x 500m hills?) on grass as XC prep?

Sun - easy 60

All the best ... Dave

p.s - I started work on the WORDS yesterday -posting later today
