| | HM at MP. 13.1 in 1:42:33. In two days I have completed a marathon in 3:38 something (combining both times), right now I would be happy to finish a marathon with that time. | | Add Comment |
| | I went to work this morning, but I was at home for lunch. At 2:30 I started my speed workout 10X800 with 2minutes recovery jog. For the first time in a while was on a flat terrain with natural light. I warmed up my legs with 4 slow kms then I started, these were my splits 3:01, 3:00, 2:59, 2:59, 3:00, 3:00, 3:02, 3:03, 2:59, 3:03 AP 3:01. I slowed down at the end, but overall I was really consistent. I had doubts I could finish them all, but I kept my brain entertained when he was about to give up and in this way I reached the end. After I was done I found a couple of friends running on the same road and I did a long slow cool down with them. A very good run.

| | Tempo run. My goal is to extend the "distance" of my tempo run to 6-7 miles, trying to keep the pace honest and reasonable as a tempo, without going into the 10k/anaerobic speed. I started with a 4k warmup and then I started, these were my splits: 3:59, 4:02, 4:05,
3:56, 4:08, 3:58, 4:03, 4:03 AP 4:01 +6". I felt strong and in control until km 5 (it was my slowest one but it is the one with the worst course combination, there is a hill, no downhill and the 180° turn), km 6 and 7 were still good but I had to work, the last 1 I was really happy I was still running hard but fatigue was there. At the end I walked a couple of kms to relax and cool down. I am really happy about this progression during the last month, especially about feeling really in control during the first 5 kms. I can see myself running during a training run a 10k in 40 minutes in the next couple of months, as a training run. Something I have done a couple of times in the past when I was in the greatest shape of my life (I thought back then). Last month I wasn't able to do that in a race. Perfect night to run.

| | Easy run under an almost full moon. The lights of my running route are gone for the second consecutive day, I hope someone will fix them otherwise it will hard to run there when the moon will be gone. | | Add Comment |
