New event challenge - DaveM40 - 01-04-2010
Thanks TheEd- a couple of questions;
Do I do a long run this Saturday?
If it is windy for the 400's - would it be ok to do 12 x 300 missing out the section directly into the wind? I could have the "windy" 100m as a walked recovery? :tourist:
Thanks very much

according to schedule
12 5K paced run (this is Saturday)
13 1Hr easy run or 15k easy
14 easy day of 30min running
Tuesday is the 400m session .. don't over extend yourself on the 300's and the session should be fine 10 x 300m is fine with 100m light jog recovery
superb

Good time, but I was on the seafront road with a tail wind.
I worked quite hard - but felt ok and enjoyed the favourable conditions.

tailwind or not
you are balancing out quite nicely
the improvement is certainly there to be seen
nice going Dave
TheEd
ps.. make sure to see that your legs recover quite nicely .. a little extra protein intake certainly assists for recovery

Hi TheEd - I did the track session today;
10 x 300 as agreed (it was windy again too :whistle
I jogged 100m in 45 secs as recovery.
(ave / max / after rest)
1/ 57 (144 / 157 / 136)
2/ 57 (154 / 164 / 128)
3/ 57 (146 / 163 / 131)
4/ 58 (147 / 164 / 135)
5/ 57 (151 / 164 / 138)
6/ 57 (152 / 166 / 144)
7/ 56 (154 / 168 / 140)
8/ 56 (155 / 169 / 141)
9/ 57 (155 / 167 / 143)
10/ 56 (156 / 168 / 143)
I felt good / smooth today & enjoyed the workout.
It is strange how jogging the recovery and reducing it to 45 seconds effects the HR range. I did feel strong in the legs throughout though ... :mmm:

a pleasant run down to race day now
TheEd
ps .. yes, the recovery plays an integral part in the quality sessions and in particular with the 2000's and 1000's
