Thanks. Yes the program is going quite well I believe, even if it is hard to see any improvements yet obviously.
I did the 5k paced run today. The weather is cold, snowy and very windy so I did it on the indoor 400m track. Except for the first lap (2:05), all laps were between 1:53 and 1:57 so I kept the speed well now. The end time was 24:04, and I believe I cannot do much more than 5k at this speed at this point really. Almost from start my HR was 160 and growing steadily lap by lap toward reaching 179 in the last lap, even if I kept the speed constant. Since my max HR is 182, I think I could not have gone on with that speed for more than a lap or two more. The move is stored in Movescount under 905624.
Hard to imagine that I will try four times the distance at almost that same speed in only five months...
Tomorrow I will keep a day off running and instead watch some great floorball here!
