Easy run 10K @ 57:59 ( 5:48 pace )

Meh I'm out of shape, 5:30 was really easy before Xmas.
My 10K race is at April 10 , i doubt i can get even close to my 49:19 PR.
Oh well, it is what it is.

Tempo run

3K slow jog warmup
Sprint 4 x 1500m / 2 minutes walking rest
2K slow jog cool down

Target pace for the 1500s is 4:50
I got 4:33 / 4:44 / 4:47 / 4:48

Wow , impressive fast, negative splits even at the last tired one, without any of those being max. Very fast HR recovery too.
That workout made me happy and optimistic about my upcoming race.

Workout #1:

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 15 @ BW
SS1b : BENT ROWS : 20 @ 25kg
SS1 info : 8 rounds ( -2 rounds )


Workout #2:

Low aerobic zone run 7K @ 55:57 ( 7:59 pace )


Double workout, damn boi, u serious!
Gonna put the lifting in second priority until the race in 2 weeks, while increasing the mileage ( extra runs, but all the extra ones will be low-impact ).
Today's run was done something like 20 minutes after lifting so i had a hard time keeping HR low, had to go much slower than ordinary.
Couldn't care less about the performance of that run though, kms counted in and that is all that mattered!

Fast-easy run 10K @ 55:36 ( 5:34 pace )
Low aerobic HR zone cool down 2K @ 17:15 ( 8:37 pace )

Very nice, fastest 10K of the year and it was nowhere near max, while i was also unrecovered. Promising.

"Race emulation run"

Low aerobic HR zone warm up2K
Sprint 8*800m @ goal race pace / 90'' walking rest
Low aerobic HR zone cool down 2K

Gotta love this workout. Used 5:00 as goal pace (aiming 50:00 10K, PR is 49:19 ).
Worked good, all splits were negative, around 4:57.
Body tended to use 4:50 ( makes sense, it is my recent tempo run pace ) but i regulated it to 5:00

Also, Saturday to Saturday total mileage is around 53K which of course is a  :personal-record:
Let's see if i will taper on that well this week. Watch says my 10K estimated race time is again below 50:00 (49:43 ) so if i plan it well and add the race effect, i might PR afterall.

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 15 @ BW
SS1b : BENT ROWS : 20 @ 25kg
SS1 info : 10 rounds ( +2 rounds )

Was supposed to run but we got a heavy rain night out of nowhere.
Had this ideally planned, Monday fast-easy run, Wednesday slow run with 2-3K race pace in the middle , Friday ultra slow run, Sunday race.
Now everything is offset by 1 day and ill have to squeeze 2 runs day-by-day. Most probably the 2 slow ones. Oh well.

Fast-easy run 8K @ 42:29 ( 5:18 pace )

Very very nice. Controlled pace at all times, fast but not near max. I checked and this is my 2nd fastest 8K ever, only the 8K split of my 10KPR run was faster.
This was done in around 85% humidity too so extra props.
Oh and it was my first run in short-sleeve t-shirt after i don't even know how many months!

Low aerobic HR zone run 8K @ 55:53 ( 6:59 pace )

Went as slow as i could but i was insanely fast for this run. 2nd time ever that i end up with below-7:00 pace. Awesome!
Watch acknowledges, it upped my VO2max back to 47 for the first time in 2022 and dropped my predicted race times to just a tad below actual PRs.
10K PR opportunity opened up, let's go get it!!!

RACE : 10K @ 48:31 ( 4:50 pace )  :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record:

Soooo sweet, exhausting but such a rewarding accomplishment feeling!
Very lucky with weather, was a fairly warm but cloudy and dry morning, perfect conditions.
True RPE 10 : Race begins with 1km of uphill, so i was at 180bpm at 4 minutes already. Never fell below that, over 185 for the last 10 minutes and stuck at 190 for the last 5 minutes.
Also, so much higher level of runners compared to the same race-day's 5K event. I ended up ranking 170 between 1300 people. Winner did 31:05 , 10th 33:30 , 50th 41:10 , 100th 43:30
I didn't even make it to my age group leader-board (top 15), 15th dude did 46:26 , top 5 did 37:50 to 41:00. The 60-65 group had 3 guys between 41:00 and 44:00 for fucks shake!
Gotta step my game up lol.
