Hi Ed,
Completed 2 more long runs. That’s the first 3 days of 60 mins easy done. Some proper base training I’d say
Yesterday day 2 week 1
61:11, 11.26k at 5:26
This run felt a lot better than the day before. Only started to feel a bit tired after 50 mins. First 5k in 27:08 and 2nd 5k in 27:02, just nice and steady.
Today day 3 week 1
65:16, 11.75k at 5:33
For the first part of the run it was a bit labour like, but when I got around the 50th minute I felt very relaxed. I could have gone on longer but I decided to stick with the program.
Tomorrow resting and then rolling the hills.
I have 2 questions:
With these long runs, I do get pretty tired despite the totally relaxed pace. Not exhausted or anything, just pretty tired. That’s ok for these runs? I don’t have b HR monitor, but I make sure I’m able to talk during these runs.
When rolling the hills, will the pace be totally relaxed or should I put in a bit more effort?
Johan
