Hello Ed Here's some feedback since last post having ran the 19mins 49secs 5k pb on Sat' 8th August.
Sun 9th Day 13 56mins easy off road
Mon 10th Day 14 Rest as very tired
Tue 11th Day 1 67mins 29secs easy on a flat road
Wed 12th Day 2 Rest as very late back from work
Thur 13th Day 3 Rest as very late back from work
Frid 14th Day 4 This should have been Day 3. 5x2k as follows:
7mins 47secs
8mins 3secs
8mins 14secs
8mins 27secs
8mins 48secs
Average 8mins 16secs per 2k which was 13secs down on av on last 5x2k session. However, it was extremely windy, humid, I was doing it without my training partner.
Sat 15th Day 5 84mins time on feet easy run. Off road and road.
Sun 16th Day 6 30mins easy
Mon 17th Day 7 66mins easy. Distance was well over 10k. Did too much as got lost and it was hilly.
Tue 18th Day 8 6x1k as follows:
3mins 54secs
3mins 50secs
3mins 54secs
3mins 53secs
4mins
3mins 58secs
Av 3mins 55secs per 1k which is 4secs per k slower than last time. However, much more windy and humid.
Wed 19th Day 9 Rest as very tired
Thu 20th Day 10 Approx' 50mins easy run
Fri 21st Day 11 Rest
Sat 22nd Day 12 5k paced run. 20mins 35secs. Splits as follows:
3mins 57secs
4mins 11secs
4mins 3secs
4mins 13secs
4mins 11secs
Went to bed at 0045 after a few drinks. Very windy and humid again. Ran without training partner.
So all in all Ed not a good set of results since last post and all of the pb's. I have noticed that every day has been a lot more windy and even easy runs feel harder. I have been much more tired and I think that this is because of increased work pressures, decorating at home, stronger winds and humidity outside. When I came back yesterday from the 5k I did nothing but sneeze and felt drained. I have felt like this once before after a 10k race.
I will do Day 13 today and try to reduce my easy running pace in the wind. Bearing in mind I have a 10k road/off road 10k race on Monday 31st Aug' how shouuld I structure my training until then?Thanks
