2 November

SS1a : UPRIGHT ROWS : 15 @ 25kg ( 3 reps per set )
SS1b : BACK WIDOWS : 15 @ BW ( 3 reps per set )
SS1 info : 10 rounds

Was supposed to run but it was insanely humid, like 95% or so, it was annoying breathing that shit even when walking.
Haven't done this workout (it is the one i do if i manage to lift 3*week) for a month yet i added a total of 60 reps bringing them from 240 to 300 total. Yep, definitely feeling stronger  :strong:

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?

3 November

Easy run 10K @ 58:39

Not a pleasant run, humidity was again at 90% or so. This whack clear skies / wet cars&roads thing. Obviously slower than recent easy runs too, like 15''/km , but what can you do.

5 November

Low aerobic zone run 10K @ 1:17:45 ( 7:46 pace )

3rd consecutive 10K low aerobic run that i get the exact same time. Last time diff was 18 seconds total, now 8! 8 seconds of difference in a 1hr20mins run, i mean , wow!
However this time humidity was over 85% , so it i would be probably much much faster in regular conditions.
Watch agrees, it reported new all time fastest race time predictions, 5K is down to 22:42 now  :headbang: :ibrunning:

Thanks! It keeps improving. Good timing for all time peak, because i have a race in 2 weeks!
Just hope it won't get cancelled again, everything is still open in Greece but we are recording daily records of new cases with my city having the worse metrics in the country :(



6 November

VO2-max run

3.5K warmup
Sprint 6x800m / 3.5 minutes walking rest
2K cool down

Target pace for the 800s is 4:24
I got 4:30 / 4:24 / 4:30 / 4:34 / 4:46 / 4:33

Numbers not so impressive but slightly better than last time and humidity was worse than ever. You could actually see it in the air. Yahoo weather app reported... 99% lol.
Felt better too, legs were more light and i felt kinda springy.

8 November

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 15 @ BW ( - 5 reps for 6 sets )
SS1b : BENT ROWS : 15 @ 25kg ( - 5 reps for 6 sets )
SS1 info : 15 rounds ( +3 rounds ) , ( - 1min rest between sets )

Was short on time so switched from 6x15 ++ 6x20 to 12x15 while shortening the breaks from ~2:30 to ~1:30.
Then this advanced faster than i thought , got some spare time, so  went off and did 15 super-sets instead of 12 for a total of 450 reps lol  :wowthatwasnutswtf: :highfive: :strong:

9 November

Easy run 12K @ 1:08:089

Humidity down to 65%= instant performance boost.
Actually, i looked way way back and it seems that this is the fastest "bigger-than-10K" run ever  :personal-record: :ibrunning:
I've done bigger distances in little slower, e.g 13K @ 5:45 ,14K@5:50  but 5:40 has not been reached until today.
Also, this was true easy too, had a lot of reserves: I challenged them at the last km (which is all slightly uphill) where i pushed, i got 5:30 (fastest lap of the run) with a max pace of 4:05 at the final sprint.
Happy!

Low aerobic zone run 11K @ 1:26:08 ( 7:50 pace )

That was a weird run.
Started out fast (7:20-ish pace which is PR level for this kind of run ) , then around 5th km i just couldn't keep my HR down, had to go really slow.
It escalated, the 7th km was mostly walking (9:43 pace)!  Then 8th was back to 7:50 and then i just zoned in and last 3 kms were 7:20ish again. WTF.
Don't care, got my low HR mileage in, predicted race times fell a bit more, it is going good, ready for my peak week.

12 November

SS1a : UPRIGHT ROWS : 15 @ 25kg
SS1b : BACK WIDOWS : 15 @ BW
SS1 info : 10 rounds



13 November

3K warmup
Sprint 12 x 400m @ race target pace / 1 min walking rest
2K cool down

Target for the 400s was my race target pace.
I chose 4:25 , which brings me to the low 22s 5K area, exactly where watch says i am.
I got 4:25 4:19 4:24 4:29 4:20 4:32 4:23 4:22 4:27 4:24 4:24 3:46

That was fun. Not easy at all but much easier than i expected. I felt fast and durable.
Plan was to be very strict with the pace, even if i feel faster. I only went max at the last sprint to emulate the race's hard finish, Delighted to get it below 4:00 pace.

Here is the entire peak/taper week plan:

Sat : The above , last intense workout, 12x400m @ race pace with short rests that emulate the entire race.
Sun : rest
Mon : Easy run , same intensity as normal but shorter. So it will be around 8K @ 5:40 or so.
Tue : Lift
Wed : Slow run with a race pace mile in. Something like 3K slow / mile @ race pace / 3K slow.
Thu : Long slow run, a little slower than normal. Something like 8-10K @ 8:00m/km
Fri : rest
Sat : RACE!

Lets go!!!  :ibrunning: :headbang: :ibrunning: :headbang: :ibrunning: :headbang:

Easy run 8K @ 43:14 ( pace 5:24 )

This was done fast-easy but that was all, no pushing, no fast finish nothing. Pretty cool at the end, no breath catching.
Also done at 80% humidity so very happy about how fast i was.
I actually checked and i have done a faster 8K ( 42:55 ) only once in my life when i did my 10K PR. Impressive.
