Up early, typhoon passed... sun and temp.'s up
First one felt good, but was feeling it early in the calves and the discomfort lasted throughout the session. Think I might need to do some strength/endurance training on that muscle group.
Last two were quite hard, last one especially.
Splits below:
2K Time(1k splits), pace, ave HR, Max HR
1 8:21 (4:03, 4:15) 4:09 143 150
2 8:39 (4:13, 4:24) 4:18 147 154
3 8:42 (4:20, 4:21) 4:20 152 158
4 8:56 (4:23, 4:32) 4:27 154 159
Disappointed not to make that last one, but a much better performance than the previous cycle when I couldn't finish numbers 5&6.
In an earlier post, you said,
"that unfortunately is the 'crux' of the program and that is the session that builds mental mental strength to achieve your 10k goals .. you hit the target in the 2k session and the 10k race becomes easier
the 2k session when done on one's own is more difficult that racing the 10k in a race"
Why exactly is that, adrenaline, crowd???
