Oh I forgot to tell..
Since this week I won't be able to train on Thursdays at all...
I started evening studies and that day I work all day. I have to wake up at 6am and my studies will finish at 9pm.. Not happy at all!! That will last till end of May.
Unless I'll feel like not sleeping one morning- so I can do something.. But it's nearly impossible that I skip my minimum 7h sleep!
And when it's dark outside I'm scared there...Well i guess I'll have to work extra hard for not working out Thursdays!?

massive protein milk shake with lots of berries after such a run!
this i call dead fun training! literarly deadly
but very good fun! 
but seriously i thought it will be much worse!
i did all of them on 16,9km/h - 2:50min/800m. i forgot my resting times so i rested 2min in between as i was worried to over rest..:duh:
first 800m was actually fine, i would say 88-90%max. i think at that point my brain was busy wondering how fast are my legs moving and watching other people staring at me.. :duh:
second 800m was harder- i think about 93-95%max
3rd and 4th 800s tough! pushing me over 95%! but at the end of each i was thinking if i could push myself for longer.. and i think i could do at least half time longer if i have to.. and then die
So over all that didn't kill me completely, but pushed my limits a lot!
Rest - 2min. after 1st one was enough, after 2nd round would have needed just little longer, after 3d - would have needed extra 30s i guess, after 4th - cool down time, forgot to check time when i stopped breathing hard and people looked away from me.. :p

well you mention you are not able to run Thursday
so if you wanted to do a light gallop of 20 to 30 minutes tomorrow then it would be your call

Hi TheEd,
Hope you are good.
I did yesterday 20min run as a warm up for my weight training..
Shall I do 5km Saturday or tomorrow?
I'd prefer Saturday as I'll have more sleep that morning..
but I'll do as coach sais!
