Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!

- track
-- warm up
-- 10 km @ 85% 5k pace
-- cool down
RPE 7 ("still relatively fresh at the end, could have kept going a couple more miles if i wanted to"), which is about right for this workout. 85% of my 5k is 4:31, averaged 4:28, so more like 86-87%.

on reflection, i'm not sure RPE 7 is really accurate. with a couple of gels and a bit of water, i could have done a half marathon at that pace yesterday morning. obviously that's more than "a couple more miles." and i felt invigorated at the end, more than fatigued. idk.

took the hillier and more technical trail toward the beginning, which slowed down overall average pace quite a bit. 443m/1453' of elevation gain, or a bit over 100'/mile. RPE 5. as these get longer and faster, i need to start taking some fuel with me. even at this distance it wouldn't hurt, although i don't need it.

84+ km for the week, nice. down week this coming week, then will be pushing past 90 and then 100 over the following two weeks. let's go.

deliberately slowed down just a bit. a few little tweaks along the way, i'll do tomorrow's long run as planned but it's good that the upcoming week is a deload. RPE 3.

-- warm up (incl. strides x 3)
-- 4 x [3 min @ 95% 5k, 1 min jog, 2 min @ 5k, 1 min jog, 1 min @ 102% 5k, 3 min jog]
-- cool down
chilly (-6/22) but not windy. mangled the first rep by accidentally pushing the lap button. so it was more like 1 min @ 95% 5k right into 3 min @ 5k. moron. after that all good, paces were around what they should have been, or a second or two quick. had a hard time keeping pace consistent but averages worked out. had the track to myself so did the third and fourth sets clockwise (opposite normal). RPE 6.5.

-- warm up
-- 6 x [1200m @ 90-92% of 5k pace, 200m jog]
-- cool down
was supposed to be 1 minute rests but i fucked up programming the workout in my watch so ended up doing the whole thing on the fly. meant reps were more like 1220-1230m, and pace was a little quick. 90-92% of my 5k pace is 4:15-4:20/km, and reps were more like 4:10-4:14. RPE 6, though, so i wasn't over-pushing.

afternoon

- climb x 15 mins
just a few yellows and reds (easiest) to warm up. more fun than jumping rope.

- squat 205 x 5,5

- calf raise 205 x 6,6

- gettin' old circuit
only one time through, started to feel weird. i think i'm just tired. didn't sleep well last night.

- KB suitcase hold 32kg x 10s/side

left a little earlier than usual, before 6. so the run was mostly in the dark, including the stretch in the park, and i was mostly alone. it was nice, cool feeling. RPE 3.

rolling hills, allowed myself to keep pace up a little so HR averaged 142 but crept into the 150s on uphills. had to stop to go to the bathroom twice. RPE 5.5, partly because i didn't take any fuel or water with me.

right plantar flexor came and went but never bad.

first few reps were too fast, like 4:10-4:14. then settled down, rest in 4:16-4:18. RPE 5. felt too easy, but i'm trusting the process.

standing rest after third set because the running club takes a picture every week and the timing lined up just right with that rest period. RPE 7. kept average pace in range on each rep (4:05-4:06 and 3:56), except the last set was a little too fast (4:00, 3:53), i guess thrown by the standing rest.
