New event challenge

[DaveM40]

Hi TheEd - I will do long run on Saturday - but ONLY if I feel recovered, otherwise Sunday. Saturday is better for me too.

I will feedback after run and get your thoughts on the 6 x 1000session for next week

[DaveM40]

Hi TheEd - hope you have had a good day. I did the 5 x 2k workout today;

. time - ave hr - max - after rest
1/ 7:14 - 152 - 158 - 111
2/ 7:15 - 154 - 161 - 116
3/ 7:15 - 157 - 163 - 120
4/ 7:15 - 159 - 165 - 126
5/ 7:15 - 160 - 166 - 118 *

*I notice the recovery is always quicker after last rest - I guess I have relaxed more knowing it is all over! :jester:

The HR figures were nice - as well as the pace :yes:

I felt quite good and relaxed when running. I started working hard last 2, but that is the nature of the workout I think?

Legs ok - no problems.

Resting Hr was 49 today - recently lowest has been 47 and highest 51 - so all seems ok, I will keep monitoring this as you said. I will have planned rest day tomorrow.

Hope this is ok - all the best. Dave

Hi TheEd - hope you have good weather in Sewden - its great here - sunny / 16 deg / light breeze :yes: - good running weather!

Did long one today - felt great. Ran on flat path course (except 2k uphill half way)

1hr 48 - 23 k - ave pace 4.41 / ave hr 130

Felt easy and enjoyable. I kept it a bit slower first half.

Should be fine to go to 25k in 3 weeks time. I guess it would take 1hr 57 ish...

Very easy recovery 10k tomorrow?

Looking forward to next week :p

[TheEd]

nice ...

a light 20 to 30 minutes tomorrow pure leg roll out

then you can do 10km on Monday and after that run you should know whether you are ready for the 1000's

cheers

TheEd

[DaveM40]

Got that - I will feedback Monday. Thanks

Hi TheEd - feeding back as promissed;

Ran 8k v.slow yesterday - all ok

Ran 10k today -felt good all the way really. Legs seem fresh enough. I ran 10k in 44.40 (ave 4.28) - ave hr 132 - I ran easy 5k then pushed on just a little to 10k - all feeling fine :yes:

6 x 1000 3pm tomorrow? Is that ok?

[TheEd]

sounds good Dave

impressive to see the pulse range on the easy run is EASY (low)

nice

1000's tomorrow .. don't get carried away if feeling good, don't look to go faster .. by the 4 or 5th you should see how your adaptation to the longer run has gone

well done

Very easy 10k tomorrow

15k Thursday

Rest Friday

Tempo Saturday - should I stick to 5k sub 18:30 or look for longer at HM pace?

1 Hour easy Sunday

Thanks for your help ... Dave

[TheEd]

my my .. it is great to see your development .. incredible to see the pulse drop to 122 after the 6th 1000

everything in order except we can change Saturday's run to a 1hr tempo

minimum 15km and maximum 15 km

fastest time allowed - 56:30

please ask for clarity on this, if need be ..

interested to know pulse during tempo run

Cheers and again, nice going

TheEd
