Bodyweight@session : ?
Soreness : legs still some sore, hamstring, abductors, calves. chest and biceps.
Injuries/aches : none

RUN 5KM @ 30'28''  :wowthatwasnutswtf: :ibrunning: :headbang:

So weather got a little mild so i finaly  went out to run. Note that this was the first time running out after my race ( late October 2018 ). First run after back injury too of course. Only cardio activity in 2019 have been 4 ( four!) treadmill sessions, best effort of which was 5km in 37 minutes.
So with that data i was expecting an average km pace just below 7' and secretly hopping it will be closer to 6'30''. Boom , 6' out of nowhere, not even going max, i was going just a bit above comfy. I could even break 30' easily, had big lungs reserves but didnt want to stress my system too much.
Ultra excited, that's a damn good starting point!!! ( Comparison data: last year i started running while playing basketball every week, my first 5km was 35' and it took me 1,5 month to break 30' )



Bleh, graph shows cadence instead of speed by mistake. Given the chance though, is that normal? It is average 160spm for an average speed of 10kmh, both steady throughout the run.

damn nice.

normal to run that good without much running? not really but it probably points to experience. you have more experience now so, regardless of any detraining/lost cardiovascular gains, you have a better idea of what to do out there. you were probably very relaxed - which is very important, and legs "fresh" (in the context of running).

either way, good stuff!

ya it's normal. 160 is on the "low end" but still normal. it'll increase naturally most likely. 175-185 is probably the avg race SPM. i used to be in the 180's. now i'm always in the 190's, even for longer races. it just increased naturally for me.

Yup, just checked my race (PR) log: average was 166 and max was 181, makes sense.



Alright, so I'm back, ski was excellent. I dare to say i was at my best overall skiing condition ever. Strong legs, strong core, strong body, good fitness level, it was amazing. This old fart still has some good juice left lol.
Came back Wednesday midnight ( skied every day from previous Saturday to Wednesday ) , left 2 days off, got back at it this Saturday.
