wednesday

- run 11.47km in 59:02
ran to and then around in victoria park. beautiful, got turned around a few times, went a bit farther than i intended.

This is where I do 90% of my running. It's gorgeous. Nice little food/produce market on Sundays too.

I actually ran there Wednesday too, maybe we went passed each other that day.

just spectacularly beautiful again today. ran along river lea and some side canals, got a wee bit lost again but not as bad as the other day. picked up pace a bit again for the final 1.5 km or so.

- run 10.01 km in 50:23

- stretch

40.2 km over past seven days. working back up to 50 km/week. visited some gyms today, found the one i'll join (anytime fitness stratford east). once i've settled into an apartment and figured out my school routine, plan is to re-introduce gym work in anticipation of a winter focused a bit more on strenf/power and a bit less on cardio, before shifting back in the spring when the weather and light suck less. hopefully with a bit more muscle and a bit more speed. also probably will get a bike and go to/from school that way at least some days. the commute is about 80-90 minutes round trip. not sure how that'll affect training. i've been running to the exclusion of nearly anything else for a long time now. might not hurt to mix things up for a few months. not abandon running altogether, of course, just redirect a bit of energy.

- run 2.4 km; 30s sprint w/4 min walking rest x 4; run 2.1 km
peak speed 34.6 kph, pretty okay with that.

- stretch

right knee tweaked a little on the last interval.  whatever's been messed up in there for years still is. i should really find a good PT to talk with about that. also, my elbows (?!) are tired.

gorgeous day. was a bit tougher than it ought to have been toward the end, stiff headwind.

ETA: mild quad soreness going into the run but it went away after a km or so. right calf a bit tight after but have done a bit of extra stretching and it seems fine.

- run 7.01 km in 36:45
first 3km w/gf, hence the slightly slow overall pace (5:15). final three km were run in 4:30, 4:55, and 4:45 to make up for it a bit. kept it short to keep overall weekly increase modest: total for last seven days is 45.9 km, which i'm pleased with. to 50 next week.

- extensive tempo: warm up x 2 km; [4:20, 4:21, 4:40 (d'oh!), 4:10]; cool down x 1.77km

- stretch

first two tempo km downhill and second two uphill (out and back). lost the pace a bit there on the first uphill km but almost made up for it on the last one. 4:23 average, which is about what i was going for.

What is the recovery between them fast kms? Stand in place, walk around, jog? Is it defined by duration ( e.g. rest 5 ' ) or by distance ( e.g. walk around 500m )?
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

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

they were continuous, no rest. basically 80% of a 5k at ~90% effort.

when i do faster intervals rest can be either time or distance, depending on the workout, but i guess i usually use time. for example the 4x30s all-out workout i did last week was with 4 minutes (walking) rest, more akin to a sprint workout. ETA: i'm planning to do that again on saturday, but with an extra interval and a bit more warm up and cool down to keep the distance up.

forgot to log yesterday:

- run 10.11 km in 51:31
pace dipped a little in the second half before i picked it up again at the end to make sure i was coming home as fast (or faster) than i went out. legs a little tired.

- stretch

plan was to run tue-wed-thu but i'm going to rest today and run tomorrow (friday) instead. will try using the gym at school for the first time. if it's raining that'll be on the treadmill. if it's not raining then just the locker room.

yesterday evening i went to check out the branch of the gym i was considering joining out here. it sucks and is not very convenient. so i think i'm just going to join the school gym for now. once gf and i have moved into our new place and get our routine down a bit i'll consider adding another gym closer to home.

- run 2 km; 30s sprint w/4 min walking rest x 5; run 1.8 km
peak speed 36.0 kph, distance on each interval was farther* than last week and did one extra as planned (per garmin: 280, 240, 220, 210, 200).

- stretch

*i'm skeptical of the accuracy of the garmin on these, especially the first one. the first interval definitely felt fastest but 280m in 30s translates to a world-record 400. unlikely. still, for week-to-week comparisons it's okay.

gukl, when you coming down?

Good to see you're enjoying the routes in London! I was actually there last week but was a bit hectic and not much time for running! Weekend 18th October will almost certainly be heading down.
