Low aerobic HR zone run 9K @ 1:07:56 ( 7:33 pace )

That was the longest (in km) low HR run of 2024.
Also the longest (in duration) any kind of run of 2024.
Was a bit slower than last week's low HR run though. Oh well, can't have it all.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

Its going really good lately. Pity i didn't start pushing earlier. Race is 12 days, I'm not at the level I'd want to, but i think i can challenge my 48:31 PR

9 April

RUN 8K @ 42:40 ( 5:19 pace )

Fastest run of 2024.
5K split was 26:59 , also fastest of 2024 , paced 5:22.
But besides the fastest 5K , i also got negative split for the last 3K too!
Finally, last km (although it has 500m uphill) was done in 4:50 which again fastest km split of 2024 in a run and challenges even my 1K tempos.
Freaking awesome!

11 April

Low aerobic HR zone run 11K @ 1:19:23 ( 7:13 pace )

By far the longest (in km AND duration) any kind of run of 2024.
Fastest low aerobic HR zone run of 2024 too, despite it being the longest one.
Actually, i have done only a handful better/faster long slow runs ever, the last 2-3 weeks before my half marathon. This one was top 5 ever easy.
God damn, why didn't i start 2 weeks earlier, improvements are raging.
Ok, one more intense workout over the weekend and then it's taper week.

Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

LAT PULL DOWN : 4x10 @ 71kg
DB OHP :  4x10 @ 17.5kg each hand

"Race emulation run

2K low aerobic HR zone warmup
Run 6x800m @ race target pace / 90'' walking rest
2K low aerobic HR zone cool down

Goal pace was 4:45 (which leads to 47:30 10K run and a whole minute PR ).
I got : 4:45 4:47 4:45 4:43 4:46 4:41

That was nice. Body tended to pick up a 4:40 pace but i controlled it. If I'm on a good day and weather helps, it feels like i can keep this for the entire 10K race.

Here are my goals:
47:30 or below will be amazing
47:30 to 48:30 (PR) will be success
48:30 to 50:00 will be acceptable if something goes bad, e.g shoe untied like last year , bad weather, some small ache/mishap etc.
50:00 and above will be pure fail.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
