Going for sub 45 - Stef4n - 15-10-2012
Yesterday's trail completed
Really tough course, but it was very cool to run in the dunes. It was all there... sand, stairs, fences, a strong headwind on the beach, more sand, and, most importantly, a pint of beer straight after the finish. :tonguepop:Trail
Time: 01:33:21
Distance: 14.2
Av. Pace: 6.34
AHR: 178 BPM
MHR: 200 BPM
Total climbing(and thus descending): 151m (according to my garmin)
On the flat and descending parts of the race I tried to get my HR back to ~170 BPM. This proved to be a very good tactic. :great:
Now on with the next cycle. Next race is in 5 weeks, so I would like to do the first 2 weeks of the program until the 5k paced and then start on a new 3week-cycle.
Today I played some tennis, tomorrow I'll go for 30-40 min easy and on wednesday I do Core Stability Training.
Thursday will be the 3x2k session with 4.30/k rest 90.
Cheers,
Stefan

A short impression of the trail can be found here
Really fun to finish like that

maybe a good idea not to do the core training during the first week of the cycle
from Wednesday to Wednesday for example
that way your body has more of a chance
just for while you adapting to the new strength training
yes yes?

Due to circumstances I was unable to go for the long run yesterday. I did it today instead, felt really good and I tried to keep my HR low.
When should I do the 1k session? Thursday? And then maybe the 5k paced on sunday?
And what pace would you advise?
Stefan

PS. Shoud I aim for a 4x2k and a 6x1k in the next cycle at the same pace? :jester:
Going for sub 45 - TheEd - 22-10-2012
you can do the 1k session on Wednesday .. pace 4.20 per k
then we roll from there and see how you are feeling
TheEd
Going for sub 45 - Stef4n - 24-10-2012

What's the plan from here?

continue with the program as normal from Thursday
though if on the run you feel a little tired then cut the session back to 30 minutes easy
nice session and good to see it is coming together

Instead of an easy run on thursday, I went to a local running group with a friend. We did some intervals, but kept it fairly easy. I only ran the last 400m a bit too fast (clocked 1.07). Felt some irritation on the muscles (!?) behind my knees. I'm not doing that again anytime soon :laugh:
Luckily I'm no longer feeling it after yesterday's rest. It's all better now.
Today I completed the 5k paced. I started around 4.40/k and when it felt good I sped up a bit on the last 2k.
It has become a lot colder all of a sudden, and I was breathing heavy. Seems like my lungs don't like a sudden temperature change like that (I'm a bit asthmatic).
Tomorrow I'm doing a longer run.
Then working my way to thursday for a new 2k session I guess?
Cheers,
Stefan
