Hi again TheEd,
Public holiday on Tuesday, few things going on .. so had to swap things around a bit this week. I did the easy session on Tues (25 mins easy) then the quality on Thursday. 3x1000m felt ok. Pace was 4'10" and 150s rest between the intervals felt like enough. HR was mid 160s after the first interval and mid 170s immediately after the 2nd and 3rd. After a minute it was back around 120 and still falling.
As with previous days, the first interval in some ways was the hardest, could this be because I wasn't properly warmed up?
Today I ran 50 mins slow. It didn't feel great - pretty warm (25C at 8.30am) and I wasn't carrying any water so probably got a bit dry. The ITBs were a bit achy towards the end as well so I didn't want to push it. Funny .. on the slower runs they seem to be more vulnerable than on the faster ones. E.g. a 40 min fartlek never gave me any aches but a 40 min slow has done in the past
What's planned for this week? Cheers.
