Run 7K @ 39:56 (5:42 pace)

Nice. Legs felt heavy but still i was naturally fast. First 5K was easy 5:25, then for the last 2 (both mostly uphill) low 6s.
Watch says i'm improving. Gotta keep at it!!!

Run 7K @ 40:58 ( 5:51 pace)

Decided to stop going fast-easy on those runs and stick to the suggested easy-run pace, which is 5:50.
Not sure for how long it will last, its been a cool May but sooner or later Greek summer heat will strike us.
Now gotta up mileage.

Low aerobic zone run

8K @ 58:35 ( 7:19 pace )

Almost same pace with last week's SB (7:16) but for 1km more now and on up-and-down real course instead of treadmill.
Previous SB pace on that course was 7:25 , for 1km less also.
Great!

Run 8K @ 46:18 ( 5:47 pace)

Another no training weekend. Previous was election-travel-home, this one was packed-with-social-stuff (and alcohol lol). Damn it. I want more consistency!
On the bright side my runs are feeling good, even with this low frequency there is improvement in feel AND in watch numbers.

Unexpected crazy fast run, despite the increasing heat. Didn't even feel difficult or taxing either. No clue how or why.

5 days business trip abroad, no training. Missed traveling abroad so much, haven't gone since before covid.

18 June

Tempo run

2K warmup
3x1500m  / 2 minutes walking rest.
2.5K cool down

Was aiming for 5:10 pace for the 1500s. It includes a small heat regulation as night temperature over the all-day-sunburned-asphalt is now >25C (around 80F).
I got 4:53 , 5:13 , 4:48. Awesome!!!

Will try to really step my game up till end July that im off for holidays.
As of today, engaged more strict 16-8 intermittent fasting, low-carb too on the no-lift days.
