Improving 10k with regular training - MMS - 04-08-2013
Hi TheEd,
Iââ¬â¢m again very pleased with this new PB, 40ââ¬â¢47". I knew I had it in me even when it didnââ¬â¢t happen 5 weeks ago, but I was able to learn from that and make a great race yesterday. :great:
Pretty much the same course as my previous PB, but with the hill part during the 9th km (this was a real mental challenge). Very crowded race, got a lot of traffic after the 7th km (5k racers), had to run on the sidewalk for a while and lost a few tangents.
Tried to use the manual split but it didnââ¬â¢t work. Memorized the splits but clearly the km signs for the 5th km and 6th km were wrong. Also didnââ¬â¢t wear the HR monitor.
Aug 3rd - 10k race

Itââ¬â¢s not a very competitive race, but I got 13th overall place and 1st in my age group! But no trophy for that.
Now Iââ¬â¢m considering going through another 3-week cycle, wear the HR monitor to establish some parameter for the 2k and 1k sessions and probably finish with a 5k race.
After that, vacations with the wife. :yes:
Cheers

serious congrats MMS
so great to see the development and improvement taking place
I can only imagine that you are 'chuffed' (most happy)

Yes, Iôm happy like never before.
When I decided to get back in the 10k program this year, I only wanted to reach a sub45 again. I was comfortable with that. But then it all started to go so well and now Iôm running like never before. It feels amazing!
The next step is to reach a sub40. Iôm sure it will come, and Iôll work hard for it.
Cheers.

Hi TheEd,
Hereôs my 2k session wearing the HR monitor. This time I didnôt push all the way, so basically repeated the last session overall time.

AHR= Average heart rate during 2k
MHR= max heart rate during 2k
RHR= Average Rest heart rate
mRH= min heart rate during Rest
During rest I was walking easy, except the last rep when I pushed a bit and spent most of the time standing still, thatôs why mHR of rep 05 is lower than rep4.
As you can see (24C), it doesnôt look like were still in winter, right? :yes:
Cheers.

Improving 10k with regular training - MMS - 14-08-2013
Hi TheEd,
Yes, trying to enjoy ââ¬Åwinterââ¬Â as much as I can.
Had a long run Saturday morning (1h30; 15,7km), took a day off on Sunday, ran 40min easy on Monday (6,9km).
Yesterday, 6x1km. Like the 2k session, solid session but there was room to cut a couple of seconds.
Aug 13th - 6x1k

Hi TheEd,
Approaching the end of this cycle but Iôll not race this weekend. Today Iôm going to my home town, and although thereôs a race there, itôll be a very warm weekend and itôs a hilly course. Iôll try a time-trial or maybe just a 10k easy. :whistle:
Have a nice weekend!

Hi TheEd,
Quick feedback before traveling abroad for the next 3 weeks. :yes:
Repeated the 3rd week of the program for the last 2 weeks but didn't manage a time trial.
I'm not sure how much I'll be able to run the next days, so basically it will work as Off Period. When I return, we can discuss things but a Build Up seems interesting.
Cheers
