One hour swimming, I lack a decent swimming form, for this reason at the end I felt totally trashed.

| | Heavy rain and cold temps, perfect excuses for not going out to run.

| | Speed work out night, I wanted to test if I could do some "pure" speed doing the 400s. The plan was 12X400 w/ 1 min recovery jog at 1:20-1:25. To do this workout I decided to use an "exact" 400m stretch close to the industrial area where I run every evening, the only problem this road is completely in the dark and it is very narrow and there is a house at the end of this road. I did a 5k warm up and then I started. These were my splits: 1:23, 1:19, 1:24, 1:21, 1:25, 1:23, 1:26, 2:11, 1:27, 1:23, 1:28, 1:23 AP 1:24. Split #8 was bad because I had to stop and move out of the road because a car was coming. This road was slight uphill going out and slightly downhill coming back that's why the yo-yo in my times. I was happy with the outcome of this run, I am really looking forward to more of this in the next few weeks.

Fast workout night with a mini tempo run on the fast side. The plan was to attemp a 6k at 3:55-4:00/k with 3:55 much closer to my current 10k pace than 4:00/k. In the last month I did a 10k as a tempo run at 4:01/k so 3:55/k would be a good stimulus. During the 4k warm up I didn't feel that great and I had doubts about my full recover after the 400m session on tuesday but I decided to finish my plan, accepting slowing down, rather than not starting it at all. These were my splits each k: 3:55, 3:51, 3:58, 3:49, 4:02, 3:51 AP 3:54 +2". I was very pleased about the outcome, I definitively worked hard during the last 2k but I wasn't racing all out.
I finished with 4.5k "cooldown", but because it was already cold and windy I finished the last 3k at 5:00/k. Overall final pace was 4:56/k.

| | Easy medium run to enjoy the sun and the warmer temperatures. I finished 26k in 2:13:19. Nothing really fast, but it was a good aerobic marathon pace. | | Add Comment |
