Hey TheEd,
Sorry for the lack of updates... it's been a crazy few weeks and unfortunately I haven't had a session I was proud enough about to want to post
I accepted a work secondement to Paris for 4 months (starting a couple of weeks ago). It's an awesome opportunity, but has put a bit of a strain on my training/racing plan for the summer.
Have been keeping my mileage up and sticking as best I can to the programme. I have also joined a good triathlon club. Here's my splits from last running cycle:
2k's (17-May, flat road, 80kg)
(I tried to hit the 3:20's and completely blew after the first 2).
6:41
6:47
6:58
6:55
6:52
1k's (23-May, track, 79kg)
(tried to hit the 3:10's and again blew up after first few)
3:09
3:08
3:13
3:21
3:20
3:09
5k tempo (26-May, hilly, 80kg)
17:47
- unfortunately I was feeling terrible that morning... I decided to jog it, until at about 3k I realised I could actually still win - so I managed to pick up the pace at the end!.
I was in the US last weekend so missed my Race day... did a jet-lagged tempo 15k instead. A shame because I felt good on my Fartlek session (was cruising 3:15 pace for the 1min intervals).
Anyway, due to run my 2k's on Thursday. Dreading the session a little bit. I'm not sure 3:20's are realistic with 90s rest, what do you reckon I should aim for?

excellent Jamie .. was more concerned that you had become injured and were somewhat depressed
good to see that all is OK and that life is evolving
don't put stress on yourself if there are many changes currently
will look to hook up elsewhere as I have the interest in using you for TRI related development linked to http://www.time-to-tri.com
Cheers

Hey!
Quick update. Had a slight unplanned off-period when some plantar fasciitis crept up on me. Been doing lots of biking & used the TTR methods (iced bottle rolling, stretching etc. etc.) and it's almost completely perfect now. Started new cycle on run programme last week, next key race is Paris Triathlon (olympic distance) on July 8th.
Did my first race for the French team I'm with this weekend - was domestique for one of their olympic girls in a sprint Tri, so it wasn't super fast... but great fun and I felt strong.
2ks (thu 21st, ran on fairly flat 2k concrete park loop)
6:50
6:50
6:54
6:56
6:55
These were controlled, but by no means easy.
Ended up running a 23k yesterday morning. 3hr easy bike in the afternoon. Fairly fatigued 10k this morning. 1k's tomorrow... may have to ice-bath after riding tonight!

running 23k .. wow Jamie .. pushing yourself to overuse issues
less is more
take care and try to back off at least 10 to 20% of what you planning to do
enjoy

As you're usually right... I'll knock 10% off
The 23k was only supposed to be my usual 18-19k Sunday run. But you know what it's like when the sun is shining, and you've had a good race the day before

1k's yesterday (fairly flat concrete park loop)
Had to do the session at 9:30pm in the evening on a full stomach which wasn't ideal, but happy enough with the times considering.
3:16
3:13
3:11
3:11
3:20**
3:14
** rep interrupted by policeman ejecting me from park. Managed to apologise, jump a fence and still maintain <3:20 pace which was pleasing

Nice going Jamie, hope you had an opportunity to work on your French

17:18 for paced 5k on Saturday.
Didn't feel great unfortunately, a lot of work on the bike last week (>8hrs) so legs a little heavy. Felt great on 15k run sunday morning, though & ended up running the last 5k of that in 17:45, just bouncing along. Mystery.
Decreasing volume & maintaining speed across swim/bike this week & running 10k's instead of usual 60 min easy runs to prepare for Paris Tri on Sunday.

what have you got planned for this week Jamie?
good to hear you rolling
a bit dangerous to do 2 paced runs in a row though
(17:45 is paced)over to you
TheEd
ps.. of interest, when last did you do a 5 x 2k session?
Sub 35 - jamieh - 03-07-2012
