Run 8K @ 46:32 ( 5:49 pace )

1km more while 25''/km faster in average, despite still very got and humid ( T+DI 82+71 @ 11pm ), very nice!

This is the first of 8 weeks preparation for the big night half-marathon race @ 15 October.
Last year i started much less fit ( got to 5:50 mid September ) , did a crappy preparation ( much more weights and stationary bike than actual running mileage ), yet did 1:54
So this year with better start and focused planned preparation, i am aiming for 1:45.
Lets go get it  :headbang:

New HIIT protocol calls not for target-paced sprints, but hit them hard (RPE 9+), almost max.
Paces i got were 4:38 / 4:43 / 4:25, the slower ones had some significant uphill part in them. Not bad at all.

"Race pace" run

Run 5K @ 25:43 ( 5:08 pace )

This preparation program that im doing calls for a race-pace 5K every week.
Ideal target pace is just below 5:00 ( for an 1:45 half marathon ) , but ill still be ultra happy with 5:13 ( to barely break 1:50 half marathon ).
First attempt landed @ 5:08, very nice actually.

"Training pace" run

7K @ 39:10 ( 5:35 pace )

Those "training pace" runs are prescribed to be done at the 2h half-marathon pace ( around 5:40 ).
Very happy i got it with first try, because i was very sore from the previous 2 days ( race pace 5K , then squats after 3 months ).
Pace wasn't steady though, first 5K was too fast ( 5:25 or so ) then the last 2K around 6:00. Gotta even that out.

5@70kg

SS1 info : 5 rounds



8 September

Low aerobic zone run

11K @ 1:25:13 ( 7:45 pace )

Double distance from last time, yet 25 seconds per km faster.



9 September

2K Warmup
Sprint 3x800m / 3-4 minutes walking rest.
2K Cool down

Paces i got were 4:36 / 4:35 / 4:30, which are about 5''/km faster than last week. But most important, the feel was improved, I felt i had better breaths and spring.



Generally, my body is pretty much wrecked from jumping straight on that 1:45 HM program and training 6*week out of nowhere.
But i am already catching up, adapting, while fitness metrics are rallying up already.
Love it  8)

"Training pace" run

7K @ 38:08 ( 5:26 pace )

This time pace was steady but i went too fast. Not that it is a bad thing but target pace is 5:40 for those runs, gotta regulate to that.



12 September

"Race pace" run

Run 5K @ 25:43 ( 5:08 pace )

Wow nice. Last week's same performance was on treadmill, this one was on my regular course that has a lot of uphill segments.
So this 5:08 is worth a much faster flat course time, most probably faster than the 5:00 target pace already. Ill try flat course next week.
Things are very promising. Training with goal paces is hard but works damn good!

Also, i got the exact same time with last week. To the second, 25:43 sharp! WTF!!!

"Training pace" run

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

Finally regulated my pace to the target 5:40. Those 10'' per km made a ton of difference in feel, it became a true easy run.
Watch noticed too, it became a "threshold" training instead of "VO2max" one.
Nice!  :headbang:

"Race pace" run

Run 5K @ 24:44 ( 4:56 pace )

A whole minute faster than last time. First time ever below 25 while not in a race and also fastest 5K ever at this up and down course.
On top of that, it wasn't even a time trial feel. Was harder than tempo but not exhausting. Something like RPE 8.5
Very promising!
