I got this on Monday night, so I started Tuesday.
Monday - 60 minutes on my bike/rollers (felt good)
Tuesday, Day 06 easy day of 25min running
25 mins, 5.18 km, 4:49 pace, AHR 160, MHR 166, probably went too fast?
Swam 2,300m, light upper body workout.
Wednesday, Day 07 easy day of 7.5k running - relaxed
7.51 km, 43:41, 5:49 pace, AHR 142, MHR 152, probably a better pace?
The above two days were cold, snowy and I had no knee pain.
Thursday, Day 08 start with 6x1k R60 3min 45 to 3min50 L
200m indoor track. It was warm/dry and it felt like CRAP! That said
km 1 3:50.20, AHR 169, MHR 177 60 seconds rest
km 2 3:46.02, AHR 173, MHR 181 60 seconds rest
km 3 3:49.12, AHR 174, MHR 182 70 seconds rest
km 4 4:00.52, AHR 173, MHR 180 70 seconds rest
km 5 4:04.17, AHR 171, MHR 179 80+ seconds rest
km 6 4:00.31, AHR 173, MHR 181 I think I'm going to die
Seriously that was not fun! Indoors was TOUGH! It was hot/dry. The rest of the night my guts hurt like I needed to go to the bathroom. I think my times would have seriously suffered had I not taken the extra rest after the third KM. Knee felt fine though. Then I went and pathetically did 500m in the pool just to cool off (temperature wise). Not sore today at all though!!
Friday, (Today) Day 09 easy day of 25min running I'll do this when I get home from work.
