Hi TheEd,
hope you're having a splendid weekend!
Today was the paced 5km workout. So much fun!
Had troubles settling into the pace, excessively relying on the watch and therefore getting distracted. The monkey brain was very busy, so I guess I'll have to work on that too, as well as pacing.
Anyhow, here's the rundown.
Saturday: paced 5km
wasn't sure how fast one supposed to go, so I took a middle one, and aimed to sub24. Felt nice, not flat out, but comfortably challenging.
total 23:40
1 4:54 hr152
2 5:02 hr 159
3 4:36 hr162
4 4:42 hr165
5 4:25 hr174
A thought,
since there is fartlek next week, I think I'll be able to pull it off on Tuesday as per schedule, so that I could have tennis on Wednesday without jeopardizing result of quality running workout. What do you think?
Then there will be Fartlek on Tue,
rest Wed,
recovery on Thursday&Friday,
rest Saturday and
race Sunday.
A question regarding Fartlek, 10km pace - which one would it be in my case? 4:50ish? I'm a little confused in all these numbers atm...
Also, what would be your recommendation on 10km race next week, how fast and how hard is reasonable to go?
Thanks again for your guidance and support!
Kindly,
Stacy.
