Hi TheEd
This morning on day 9 I ran the 6*1K session on the same track as usual, actually I should have run it on day 8 according to the program. Since that day the wind was really blowing here in Iceland I deceided to move the session to day 9. Now I did not follow the Garmin to deceide to stop after each 1 km but stopped when I had reached 2,5 circles on the 400 meters track. The Garmin showed a bit longer distance than 1 km.
Nr; Dist; Time; Av Pace; Max HR/Min Rest HR
1; 1,00; 3:56; 3:56; 174/134
2; 1,05; 4:05; 3:54; 176/133
3; 1,02; 4:02; 3:58; 180/142
3; 1,02; 4:03; 3:57; 182/147
5; 1,03; 4:06; 3:58; 182/143
6; 1,04; 4:05; 3:56; 186
It was a really hard session and I had hoped it would be a little easier! But of course the first quality sessions are tough.
As I mentioned before I would like to take part in a 5K race on day 15. I was wondering if I should do any changes of the program in order to be more rested before the race?
Would you think that running just sub 20 min in that race would be a sensible goal?
Any thoughts appreciated.
