Hi TheEd,
Wanted to pop in with the latest data:
I did my long run on Saturday, 1:45 on the nose and 19.45KM, 5:24/km. Legs felt tight running at that slow of a pace but after stretching and a short recovery run on Sunday I felt fine. I was feeling a bit of a twinge in my ITB in my right knee last week but I've been really diligent with stretching about an hour every night and it seems to have gone away.
Monday night I play in an ultimate league so I was worried it would take too much out of my legs for today's 6x1K but I felt fine today as well, loads of stretching at night and a good warmup.
LAP TIME AVG. HR
1 3:58 161bpm
2 1:00 143bpm
3 4:01 163bpm
4 1:00 143bpm
5 4:01 166bpm
6 1:03 143bpm
7 4:04 167bpm
8 1:01 146bpm
9 4:05 169bpm
10 1:01 145bpm
11 4:03 172bpm
12 3:04 118bpm
Today's workout was hard but controlled. I've been breaking in some new flats and got some blisters unfortunately (should have worn socks) but I'll tend to those over the next few days.
I guess the next session is the timed 5K this weekend. Pacing suggestions? Last time it was 22:00. Does it matter which day I do it? I'm out of town Friday through Sunday and I play ultimate again on Monday. My 8K race is next Sunday on that hilly course again.
Thanks,
KK
