Run 8K @ 45:52 ( 5:44 pace )

Slower than last time but still very fast for the amount of heat and sweat ( 9pm temperature now around 30C/86F).
Watch agrees, it factors heat and acclimatization to it so even though im getting slower, fitness metrics are all improving.
Very nice.

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?

Run 8K @ 46:08 ( 5:46 pace )

2 July

"Tempo" RUN

3K warmup
Sprint 3x1500m / 90'' walking rest
1K cool down

Was aiming a regulated pace of 5:15 , i got 4:45 , 5:10 , 5:00. Very pleasant surprise to be so fast @ 30C/85%RH.
Also, watch keeps improving my metrics. I know have the best race estimations for half and full marathon EVER, 1:54 & 4:19.
5K & 10K race time estimations are at my current PR levels, but ive seen better estimations there. However the long distances then were worse than now. Interesting.

-Rusty, haven't done those for like 3 months.


NIGHT:

Run 8K @ 44:52 ( 5:36 pace )

Shocking fast. My normal July performance is around 5:50 pace for 6K and then 2-3K easy.
Wasn't even a good night weather-wise, it was both hot and humid. Where did this come from?

7 July

TREADMILL :  Low aerobic zone run 7.5K @ 49:08 ( 6:33 pace )

Insane lifetime  :personal-record: for low aerobic run.
Idk what happened i just zoned in and kept going at this steady pace and HR just wouldn't rise.



8 July

"VO2 MAX" RUN

2K warmup
Sprint 5x800m / 90'' walking rest ( +1 sprint )
2K cool down

I was aiming 4:45 heat-regulated pace for the sprints, which i nailed, paces were from 4:43 to 4:48.
That is a bit faster than 1 month ago with much less heat. Very nice.

This week we have a major incoming heat wave, max temp rising above 40'C (104'F) , i suppose running won't be even slightly fun or efficient lol

10 July

Run 8K @ 46:15 ( 5:46 pace )

Heat is catching up with me but i'm still the fittest/fastest i have ever been so deep inside July.

Here are some reference workouts from same dates the previous years, i would overheat & give up at 5-6km of the same pace:

9 July

Run 6K @ 35:13 (5:52 pace)
Low aerobic zone jog 3K @ 27:44 (9:11 pace )

I'm on preserve mode. Hope i can increase training frequency soon.

8 July

Easy run 5K @ 29:08 / 5:48 pace
Low aerobic 3K @ 30:08

Again horribly hot and humid. 33'C / 90F - 70% humidity. No good workout can happen like that. Ill just keep grinding through it.
