ooops T .. sorry for that
I saw that and didnt comment
well this week's routine allows for recovery of sorts, so we shall need to see whether you can cope with training next week
you must consider doing calf muscle stretching and the maintenance of your body between sessions as weight plays such a role in running and 'we' have to carry the consequences
Let's see how you are next week?

No problems.....
Ok, then I continue running.
Ỉ̫m not sure about the stretching. If one have problem in a joint, stretching might worsen the problem, or......?:mmm:

not for now then however once the aches and pains go away then it would be a good idea to incorporate a maintenance schedule into your training
Enjoy the weekend from tomorrow

Hi there Ed!
I have done 5 sessions since last:
26/3: Long run 14,72k 1:12:57(4:57) AHR:145 MHR:159
It was a really good session, felt strong and the AHR at 145(79%) looks good.
28/3: 8,5k easy 44:45(5:16) AHR:142 MHR:151
31/3: 10,9 easy 58:06(5:20) AHR:139 MHR:149
2/4: It was time for the 5x2k

Hi Big Swede
what do you mean by this
I really dont get this. On the long run the AHR was very good but what happens at the 5x2k?
why is it high or what?
then I can better answer
You have looked to have last some conditioning which would be expected but is not faithful, we need to keep you healthy and consistent and then everything should flow nicely
TheEd
How to get a Big Swede running fast! - Big Swede - 07-04-2009
Yes, why is it high?
How is it possible that my AHR have gone up 6 bpm compared with 29/1?
Something must be wrong! I just dont get what it is? And I understand that its impossible for you to know for certain but its always interesting to hear your opinion.

OK ... the higher heart rate during the 2000's is what we seek during that session and it is also the reason why we design the session in such a manner.
In order for an athlete to gain the benefits of a certain energy field they need to run at a certain intensity for 2 minutes and more. The 2000m session achieves this best for the development of your speed endurance
which basically develops your ability to sustain a 10k race pace
The higher pulse of 6 bpm can change from one week to the next according to how you feel on the day, whether you slept well, how anxious you are or whether you have put on weight
don't read too much into it
If there is one tip I can give .. be concerned when we are concerned
from what I know you have been through a number of changes lately not related to running and the adaptation to this can affect everything
also please remember that the athlete that was there not so long ago is still there, the running has not changed, your life circumstances have and once that gets back into alignment your running will blossom once again
this is a normal process
before you know it things should start flowing comfortably .. we have also learnt a fair amount regarding how you cope, or don't cope in this case, with long runs etc
so look forward and everything should come back stronger than before
I hope this helps

ps.. I wrote this out here because this happens to a number of runners however many of them would not ask the question, so those reading this thread can also benefit

Thanks, it helps.
Patience is the key word here.
Besides the high AHR the 5x2k session was hard almost all the way but I didn̫̉t fold under pressure and it felt good too succeed in keeping a decent pace all the way. :yes:

Things will get easier again and the 2k session completed is money in the bank
