Hi Ed, so all is well with muscles and legs and such. No reaction from the faster 10x400m nor the faster fartlek.

Race day didn't work out, due to some timing with my upcoming vacation I ran yesterday and it was 27c at 8pm. It was planned to be a sub 16:30 4k... It ended up being a 12:56 3.2k, just aiming a bit too fast.

Although another grand fail from a target and "focus" point of view, I am still really pleased. Running so close to 4:00 pace for 8 laps is something I wouldn't have even thought possible when I started out on this running idea almost exactly a year ago.

My (approx) laps were
LAP Time Pace AVG_HR
1 1:31 3:45 143
2 1:36 3:57 163
3 1:38 4:04 166
4 1:35 3:59 168
5 1:36 4:01 170
6 1:36 4:03 170
7 1:39 4:07 171
8 1:40 4:09 171

This included PB's @ 1mile, 1km, 400m.

Now I am off on a camping vacation. It's a 4000km drive through many beautiful national parks in BC, Alberta, Montana and Wyoming. I am hoping to just stay running Easy 5-10km each day to keep the aerobic going. When I get back, I'll run a 4k TT and then go into a new cycle.

thanks

Nik
