Build Up Period - TheEd - 21-06-2017
great .. then you should slot in rather well that you continue with the Build Up
as for pace .. 150 to 165 bpm over the last 15 minutes .. build the pace up slowly in 5 minute increments, so you finishing faster
enjoy

Understood!
Regarding day 11 of the buildup(which will be this Friday), it says "warm up then 5 x 8min paced at 75% effort with 2 min easy in-between". What would be 75% effort? Should it be a speciffic pace, or speciffic HR?

Question from previous post:

P.S. I also post temperatures because I usually run around 5 or 6 PM after I get back from work, with 90% of the course in direct sunlight. If you think it's not necesary I won't post them in the future.

Hi O, we away for midsummer celebrations, so caught in a gap
perceived effort or more accurately for now, 10k time + 5 to 10 seconds per k .. pulse would move up to 160 bpm after 2 minutes of running and then kept below 170 for the rest of the 6 minutes
would be interesting to see what pace that is
however, the whole idea behind the fartlek sessions is to come back to faster running on the build-up and not to be too worried about pace and pulse
so .. run according to perception and write the results down afterwards
make it enjoyable without trying to achieve a specific goal
hope this helps
TheEd
ps.. temp plays a major role, if too hot will impair performance
Build Up Period - OsirisD - 23-06-2017
Hi, thanks for clarifying!
I'll do the first 8min as a trial with pulse like you reccomended and the other 4 as I feel.
Regarding rolling hills run on Sunday, can I go trail running?
Build Up Period - OsirisD - 25-06-2017
Hi Ed,
Friday run was a failure...It was very hot(around 33 deg C) and very windy. Overall it felt very hard and finished completely dehydrated and the pulse was out of control...
Anyway, breakdown:
* 4 min warm up, 6:06/km avg pace, 145bpm avg hr
* 1'st 8min as a 2min + 6min:
[INDENT]* 2min, 0.35km @ 5:42avg pace @ 156avg HR[/INDENT]
[INDENT]* 6min, 1.29km @ 4:40avg pace @ 168avg HR[/INDENT]

Saturday was an easy bike ride, 21km @ 117bpm avg HR
Today(Sunday) I did a comfortable trail run of 44m:38s @ 5:34/km avg pace @ 157bpm avg HR @ 132m elevation gain.
UPDATE Monday Run:
* Monday, easy 75min, 12.65km @ 5.56/km avg pace @ 149bpm avg HR @ 29-30 deg C. Felt really nice & comfortable.

Build Up Period - OsirisD - 30-06-2017
Hi Ed,
Today I ran day 18 of the buildup. And compared to the run last Friday(day 11), today felt like I've hit the jackpot
))). I mean, take a look at the post above and compare data. It looks like data from 2 different runners
).Breakdown(temp. was 33-34deg C):
* 4 min warm up, 6:04/km avg pace, 138bpm avg hr
* 1'st 8min as a 2min + 6min:
[INDENT]* 2min, 0.39km @ 5:07avg pace @ 152avg HR[/INDENT]
[INDENT]* 6min, 1.39km @ 4:18avg pace @ 166avg HR[/INDENT]
* 2min easy @ 6:02avg pace @ 156avg HR
* 2'nd 8min, 1.74km @ 4:36avg pace @ 166avg HR
* 2min easy @ 6:01avg pace @ 161avg HR
*'3'rd 8min, 1.71km @ 4:41avg pace @ 168 avg HR
* 2min easy @ 6:03avg pace @ 163avg HR
* 4'th 8min, 1.67km @ 4:47avg pace @ 170avg HR
* 2min easy @ 6:05avg pace @ 162avg HR
* 5'th 8min, 1.66km @ 4:50avg pace @ 170avg HR
* 2min easy @ 6:05 avg pace @ 164avg HR
Up until 167-169bpm feels comfortable. Above that feels a bit harder.
Anyway, please take a look at the post above to see the runs from last Friday till now.
Not sure if I have to do a time trial tomorrow(day 19)... I'll see how I feel next morning after I wake up, because today's run, overall felt slightly on the hard side. Overall avg bpm for today's run was 164, that's right in the middle of lactose threshold.

good to see you bounced back
a bad run on occasion is often not an indicator of form / fitness, and especially when it is hot
at the end of this build-up period, you maintain the 1hr runs in the program, so you replace the 30 minute easy runs with 1hr
please ask for 'clarity', as it is according to what you can cope with and want to do
all the best

Hello Ed,
Did the 5k time trial today, on day 19, as per the note at the end of the buildup program. Thighs felt a little sore after yesterdays 5x8min, but overall it was ok.
5km; 20m:00s @ 4m:00s/km @ 179bpm avg HR
- km 1 -> 3m:54s @ 168 bpm avg, with 179 bpm HR max
- km 2 -> 4m:01s @ 179 bpm avg, with 181 bpm HR max
- km 3 -> 4m:01s @ 182 bpm avg, with 183 bpm HR max
- km 4 -> 4m:04s @ 182 bpm avg, with 183 bpm HR max
- km 5 -> 4m:00s @ 185 bpm avg, with 187 bpm HR max
P.S. I'm not sure I understand what you meant on the last part regarding clarity.
Have a nice weekend Ed!
Build Up Period - TheEd - 02-07-2017
make sure to recover before starting up on Day with new cycle
as for clarity, earlier post you spoke of increasing the time of easy runs, now that you have done the build-up, you can maintain the 1hr runs where you want to in your program
let's see how it goes, as your 5k speed is steady and still there, so some further aerobic should benefit greatly
when in doubt, have a rest day
an easy swim is always good for active restTheEd
