Happy New Year to you and your family THeEd.
I've just started back on the sessions this Monday..and wow are my legs heavy today![Smile Smile](https://www.time-to-run.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.png)
I'm using an indoor track this season to do the 2Ks, 1Ks and paced run. Everything else I'm going to try to complete outdoors as weather allows, and then go back inside if need be for some easy runs etc if weather is really bad or sidewalks just aren't clear.
Question I had. The indoor track is 230M long I'm using approx. so for simplicity sake I'm going to be doing 9 laps for my 2K sessions and 4.5 laps for my 1K sessions. This won't give me exact feedback the first weeks, but I'll be able to track progress so long as I continue to use the same distances for the sessions.
What I noticed this week is I appear quite a bit slower then I was at the end of last season. Of course I expect going through some time off, reduced mileage and not getting in every workout for the build up to lose some, but I dropped back to around 3:57 - 4:05 or so per K for the 2K's... Does that seem somewhat normal? I had been hovering around the 3:45 - 3:48 per K at the end of last season.
Hope all is well with you guys.
Cheers,
Ian
