« on: October 01, 2018, 09:28:16 am »Great 3km time. Where does that put you for a predicted 5km?
it's 19:40 pace. running calculators predict 20:16-20:20 but i was alone and not actually racing, meaning no competitors. i think i could hang on to <4:10 pace for another 2 km with enough motivation to do so, which would put me under 20:00.

^^^no doubt. the mental aspect of it is really key, easy to see that in retrospect as it was with the races. how does my brain handle discomfort? how can i help it handle discomfort better?
had a persistent headache yesterday starting in early afternoon that is still with me this morning. didn't run as a consequence. hoping it'll dissipate over the course of the day today.

- run x 7.21 km [warm up x 2 km; time trial x 3km in 11:48 ; cool down x 2 km]
- stretch
woot! read once that a 3 km time trial is a decent benchmark of fitness for a 5k race (i.e. competing with other people). meant to do this on the track but ended up having to do it on the road for logistical reasons, which meant a couple of steep-ish climbs but also that it i ended up a few meters lower than i started. calling it a wash. i set it up on my watch as a 2-mile test but hit 3km right as i got to a major road and had to stop to not, you know, get hit by a car. once i could start again i was dead so i finished slow. so i'll just let myself be happy that i hit the 3km target. next time i do a 2-mile test i'll either do it on the track or turn right onto the street right before the big road.

- run 6.63 km in 36:12 [light strides x ~100m, 170m, 150m at the end]
forced slow pace and kept it short because plan is 3km time trial (or maybe two-mile test, i.e. 3.21 km) tomorrow.
- stretch
i have had a very shitty week at work. in an unusually bad mood, letting it affect me to an unusual degree. not sure why.

lol maybe we will. for the time being, give me desert summer over subtropical autumn any day.
- run 8.60 km in 44:28
had been getting too cute with last few runs, need to remind myself that the bread and butter remains LISS.
- stretch
seven-day total is 54.6 km and i'm on track for my first ever calendar week over 50 km. somehow despite several seven-day stretches over 50km i haven't hit that number from a sunday to a saturday yet.

« on: September 25, 2018, 09:10:27 am »Humidity destroys me too. 9+km in 45' with a sub-4 km in is not a bad workout anyway, even granted how much you have progressed.
humidity, from the perspective of exercise, is the great satan.
