Hi TheEd,
hope you're enjoying your morning!
Yeah, sorry, my mind was too slow to think after the race and too quick to ask questions. I followed the plan with rest and recovery on Tue. And I'll keep the same target pace on quality sessions, right?
Agreed on your point with pacing, my friend was a great pacer and had things under control. Thankful for this. I hope to learn all this some day!
Legs felt fine after the race, but the energy level super low this week, but I'm prone to think of a few circumstances as a reason. Training is rather what keeps me grounded.
Monday rest/yoga
Tuesday 30min recovery
Wednesday rest/tennis
Thursday 2k×3 track session with 90sek rest
1km 4.44 hr136
2km 4.42 hr161 (mistakenly only 60sek rest)
3km 4.44 hr157
4km 4.47 hr160
5km 4.42 hr151
6km 4.49 hr158
(last session from 7.01.2021
1km 4.49 hr 158
2km 4.46 hr 163
3km 4.49 hr155
4km 4.45 hr162
5km 4.44 hr157
6km 4.43 hr166).
The track was a pure ice rink yesterday, worked out well enough, but was a challenge to stay relaxed. Everything but running was in focus - only a limited amount of runnable space, because of the ice and also a local rugby team was training, so many maneuvers had to be made to stay on feet.
Overall felt fun, no two track sessions feel alike, so it's just to move on and get the best of it!
Have a great weekend,
Cheers,
Stacy.
