Hi TheEd,
hope all is well with you!
Apologies for not clarifying change of the equation. Yes, Mondays are yoga, tennis on Wednesdays, which has been on and off recently due to the pandemic.
I just felt getting stronger along the way and Monday's effort doesn't seem to be as challenging as before, and also I felt I'd rather do a quality session being somewhat tired on Tue, rather than doing a quality session right before tennis on Wed, stressing the same system with all the footwork and risking an injury. Does that make sense or am I missing the point of the program?
Regarding not running 10km alone - very interesting! Would you mind sharing more on that subject? Is that because of the simulation is not the same on the biochemical level or pushing yourself alone can be dangerous?
A friend of mine agreed to pace me on Sunday, would that qualify for a 10k race? I'm considering 4.45pace, but staying flexible and chill along the way, not pushing max.
Yesterday's fartlek...
Tuesday
Fartlek 4*5min w/1min easy
splits
1. 1,11km pace 4:28 hr 162
2. 1,14km pace 4:24 hr 162
3. 1,13km pace 4:24 hr 165
4. 1,11km pace 4:28 hr 166
My intention was to stay focused and not check the watch too often, and somehow I went on my what it looks like 5k pace instead. Not sure if I got carried away or just reckless, but I see I have a lot of learning myself to do, knowing my paces and also staying disciplined.
Overall workout felt great, the WU felt slow and tired, but after a few km got the feeling and enjoyed throughout.
Please feel free to share your honest coach thoughts, I would like to hear direct feedback.
Take care,
Kindly,
Stacy.
