Hi TheEd,
i play football every Tuesday so, i guess i can skip football on the 2nd week of the cycle.
I've been slightly sick in the last days so here's how my training has been.
Day 4:
Rest
Day 5:
Long run turned shorter due to a stomach bug.
Managed to run just over 1 hour at a very slow pace.
Day 6:
Still recovering from the stomach bug so i skipped the 30m session.
Week 2 - Day 7:
Almost at 100% but decided to do a cross training session of 60m on a stationary bicycle.
Day 8:
Did the 1K series
1: 3:52
2: 3:57
3: 4:00
4: 4:06
5: 4:08
6: 4:04
I failed the goal (4:10) miserably. Had to run without a GPS watch and although the route is excellent, it only has a couple of references so it was hard for me to know what my pace was without the GPS watch. I definitely went too fast even though i felt comfortable. Tried to adjust in the next attempts but was not until lap 4 that i got the pace closer to the goal. And i think that only happened because i was getting naturally fatigued. I really need to work on my pace awareness... any tips?
I felt alright afterwards but does a session like this one, where i ran faster than i should, has a negative impact on the rest of the cycle?
