Hi TheEd
Here's the last few days...
25 Nov:
1 Hour easy at 5:25/km pace. Av HR 144.
26 Nov:
Rest day with some resistance exercises.
27 Nov:
5k paced run. Was aiming to start at 4:40/km pace and gradually increase. Felt it was quite a conservative pace, however was breathing very heavily in the last km and really feeling the effect of the altitude, it is just bizarre how much of a difference it makes. I feel all the time like I could be going a lot quicker, but am gasping for breath! That said, it was 23 seconds quicker than the last 5k pace run I did back on 22nd July (which was just before I went back to sea level in August and did 5k race in 20:17), so there is improvement there despite it feeling difficult - and we always knew the first cycle back would be tough!
