Hello, TheEd.
What you mean by problems?? And the weather was good - 7 degrees Celsius, no sun and no strong winds.
I thought I recovered well from the race (except for one annoying blister), but today's 2k sessions proved differently. Because it was a sub45 10k, I've started a sub40 program. So here is what I accomplished so far:
1. Tuesday - Easy run of 71:39 (12.30 km). Av.pace: 5:50, av.HR: 155 bpm.
2. Wednesday - Easy run of 30:04 (5.01 km). Av.pace: 6:00, av.HR: 148 bpm.
3. Thursday - Intervals: 5 x 2k R90:
1 -> 8:23.0, av.pace: 4:12, av.HR: 179;
2 -> 8:41.6, av.pace: 4:21, av.HR: 185;
3 -> 8:51.8, av.pace: 4:26, av.HR: 186;
4 -> 9:23.7, av.pace: 4:42, av.HR: 185;
5 -> 9:26.5, av.pace: 4:43, av.HR: 184;
Very disappointing session for me. I have no explanation for the causes of the slow intervals. It was quite hot day - 14 degrees Celsius and sunny (it felt like 20, for the first time this spring!) so maybe that was a factor.
Anyhow next race will show am I slowing down or it's just bad day.
Best,
Vaidas
