Nutrition is definitely something I need to work on. -I have never monitored morning pulse rate? -Have always been running 1hr at least on the easy runs. Just to clarify im still 100% motivated and will keep going ![]() this weeks 5x2k results (on running track, on the road it's i guess 10 sec slower) (heart rate values do not seem accurate): 2k 3'56 bpm 143 2k 4'04 bpm 143 2k 4'09 bpm 154 2k 4'07 bpm 146 2k 4'04 bpm 147 Regards Sub40 goal midlife crisis? - TheEd - 31-10-2016 Tallon, good to hear you mentally strong ![]() your 2k session projects to a faster 10k than your last 10k race your pulse doesn't go that high during the 2k session, looking forward to the 1k feedback on we go TheEd Sub40 goal midlife crisis? - Tallon - 13-11-2016 Hello TheEd, this and coming months there are races almost every weekend so cannot complete the cycles by the letter. The last 1k session was a mess and can't post results. The 5k paced run was substituted with a 2k race in just 7'00min, happy with this. Today I raced a 7,5km cross in 32min @ 4'18 and bpm 173. Also happy with this result Next cycle starting tomorrow. Next saturday on the long distance run day i have another 2k race, will try to do both the 2k and the long distance run same day. Kind regards Sub40 goal midlife crisis? - TheEd - 13-11-2016 Tallon, good to hear you feeling happy about your sessions for the next long run, put it on the Sunday, the day after the 2k run enjoy and keep up the good work TheEd Sub40 goal midlife crisis? - Tallon - 17-11-2016 Thank you TheEd, will do that. Something crazy happened today with the 2k session : 2k 3'59 bpm 156 2k 3'58 bpm 158 2k 3'59 bpm 164 2k 3'55 bpm 167 2k 3'45 bpm 173 Still it was on running track, so cheating, and the temperature was nice and cool, but this is the first time i stayed under 4'00 so very happy and confidence got boosted ![]() Kind regards, Sub40 goal midlife crisis? - Hansen - 18-11-2016 Hey Tallon, What an impressive account of your journey. I read every bit of your thread. Can't wait for your post that tells us you've broken the 40 minute barrier! Oh, those sessions in those crazy summer temperatures is astounding, to say the least. You have some great resilience for discomfort. Your thread sheds light on the path I'm on, and like you, I have hopes in tackling the sub 40 program. Cheers, Jhansen Sub40 goal midlife crisis? - TheEd - 19-11-2016 tallon, this is good news, moving in the right direction, now to get the ideal event to apply the good form to ![]() onwards TheEd Sub40 goal midlife crisis? - Tallon - 22-11-2016 Hello TheEd thank you. I have also been Reading the MMS thread. Very inspiring ![]() Fyi I have consulted a nutritionist and will follow a healthier diet now. Much nutritional information is available on your website anyway. My actual fat% is estimated an 11% and my weight 73,8kg (BMI 22,8) Thanks you Jhansen for the encouraging words: I hope you will enjoy your journey as well and will find the time and patience to keep going. Good luck ![]() Kind regards, Sub40 goal midlife crisis? - TheEd - 24-11-2016 There is a very definite switch, and this is what leads to understanding running and applying it in events onwards and forwards progress TheEd Sub40 goal midlife crisis? - Tallon - 10-12-2016 Last race day was a 1500m race in 4'52 @3'15 pace. Last year same race was done in 5'17 @3'31 pace. New cycle was started this week. The 2k session was done outside the track on the real road and worse times were to be expected : 2k @4'01 bpm 159 2k @4'10 bpm 135 2k @4'07 bpm 137 2k @4'09 bpm 145 2k @4'03 bpm 142 Pulse measurements were definitely not accurate, TomTom wrist pulse meter does that often; they are way too low for the perceived difficulty.
