I believe it is only too much work this week. Before starting the 1000 last Tue night, it felt I wouldn´t finish it. But I could go through it after warming up and completing the 2nd rep.

This week is tough at work, so sessions are harder than are supposed to be. Smile

Fortunately, tomorrow is Friday, temperature is rising and I´m headed to the beach. :yes:

Hi,

The beach was great. Saturday was sunny, stayed for a few hours under the Sun and in the water for a few moments. Great day to relax. :p Didn’t run this day, so moved the 5k paced for the next day.
Sunday was cloudy and colder so I rested all day up to the night, when I had the 5k paced.
This time, used the 5k to test how I would feel running just a little bit faster than 4:30/k, instead of trying the fastest pace I can. Felt fine, strong, really a great session, although it had some wind because of the light rain at that moment.
Perhaps I‘ll be able to run 10k at this pace. :whistle:

well you should be developing towards running 10 km at that pace, so there is no reason why you cannot go sub 45 minutes with progression

Ops! What I tried to say, sorry for not making it clear, is that I might be able to run sub45 on my next race, on Aug 15th, considering my best time this year is 47:58. If it doesn´t happen now, it will naturally happen this year. Wink

Hi Coach,

last Sat I had the 5K paced in the morning. It was tougher than I expected, so ended up not as confident as was before. The race is at 9am this Sunday, at the beach. Two laps of 5km; each lap, half on firm sand, half on the road. I just hope it won´t be too windy.

You´ll notice the higher ahr compared to previous session. The only difference was that previous was at night. Same course, pace and weather conditions (including the light head wind).

Although I´ve lost a bit of my confidence, I´m certain I´ll have a good race. I´ve been consistent on my training and the results will come naturally. :great:
