TIME TRIAL 5K 23:42 , ALL TIME  :personal-record: :ibrunning: :personal-record: :ibrunning: :personal-record: :ibrunning:
Didn't even feel like i maxed my potential. Was just a good day, not a perfect one. I feel i can challenge breaking 23:00 in a well peaked race.

Nice!!!!!!!

Thanks!!!

Easy run 7K @ 44:54
Was aiming for 6:45 average pace, went a bit faster and got 6:30.  I guess it is fine.

Gonna stop logging watch assessments.
As last log, this easy workout was characterized a VO2max one ( keeping long distance above lactate threshold :uhhhfacepalm: ) and estimated VO2max fell to 39 again, estimated race 5K time is 27:36  :uhhhfacepalm::uhhhfacepalm::uhhhfacepalm:
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

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?

TIME TRIAL 5K 23:42 , ALL TIME  :personal-record: :ibrunning: :personal-record: :ibrunning: :personal-record: :ibrunning:
Didn't even feel like i maxed my potential. Was just a good day, not a perfect one. I feel i can challenge breaking 23:00 in a well peaked race.
Still, delighted that i broke the 4:45 average.
SUCK IT WATCH!!!  :raging: :raging: :raging:
Ridiculous fact: after the run watch says estimated 5K race time : 27:20  :uhhhfacepalm: :uhhhfacepalm: :uhhhfacepalm:
Oh well, glad we sorted it out. Now i know my estimation of fitness/max ability was spot on and watch's VO2max/race estimates are just rough indications that shouldn't be taken seriously.
Carry on.

SOLID!!!!!!! :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

also.. dumb watches. lol.

Thanks Andrew.
Sad about the watch, it was doing awesome till this month. What is irritating is that i waited 3 months and spent 200 euros more to get the 6 for the improved algorithms. Whatever. Im very happy with everything else. The multiple custom monitor screens are amazing. Also using it for ski or even for weightlifting is an awesome experience, the fucker auto recognizes and counts reps and exercises, it got pushups right the other day, wtf how, hand barely moves at them!

"Speed" workout

-Jog 1K
-SPRINT 8x400m / 3 mins walking revovery.
-Jog 1K
Total : 6.85K @ 48:06

Goal paces were 4:00 downhill , 4:30 mixed, 5:00 uphill. Went 20-30s faster at first 2 sprints, regulated it perfectly at the last 5.
So what about the third? That one was all downhill , so i screwed goal pace and went out 100%, just for fun and to see what i'd do:
Got 1:24 ( 3:29 pace )  :personal-record: :ibrunning: :personal-record: :ibrunning: :personal-record: :ibrunning:

Easy run 7.5K @ 48:36

Workout goals were:
Speed up to 6:30 while still feeling 'easy' : (V) got 6:29 and was ultra fresh at finish, could go for at least 25-30% more distance.
Average heart rate 155 : (V) got 153, last week that i did 7K at that pace it was 159.
Was feeling very light on my feet too. Very nice.

Tempo run

-Warm up 2K easy
-3K TEPMPO : 4:56 / 5:34 / 5:21
-Cool down 1.5K

Used my mixed-course PR for this, not the flat. which gives a tempo 5:36. But the 3 kms i do are not the same, it is 1st mostly downhill, 2nd mostly uphill, 3rd mixed.
Decided to push it a bit and go for 5:00@downhills / 5:40@uphill / 5:20@mixed. Nailed it!
Was much more tiring than usual tempo though. Ill blame the sun, it was a cool cloudy day, went out at 4pm, clouds decided to desolve right then so it was bad.

Easy run 7.5K @ 48:40

Target pace/HR was 6:30 @ 155bpm . got 6:29 @ 156bpm, nice!
However, pacing sucked, i kept losing concentration and building up speed, had 3 km splits around 6:10 , then slowing down to 6:50 to make up.
Very tempted to embrace the faster 'easy feeling' pace, but i am not allowing myself yet, keeping it on the easy side of 'easy' deliberately.

Long slow run 10K @ 1:14:02

Decided to not look watch much and go at a slow pace, slower than 'comfortable/easy' but not 'boring slow', see what it would lead to.
Expectations (goals if i checked watch ) ---> reality:
Average pace 7:30 ---> 7:24
Average HR 150 ---> 150
NICE!

"VO2 max" workout

1K jog warmup
SPRINT 4x800m ( rest = 3 minutes walking )
1.5K jog/walk cooldown

Goal paces for the sprint were
5:00 (mixed) ---> got 5:00
4:30(downhill) ---> got 4:27
5:30 (uphill) ---> got 5:04 , meh too fast.
5:00 (mixed) ---> got 4:52.
Overall great, was feeling the VO2max pace pretty well without looking watch much.
Got all sprints right except from the uphill one, where i started too fast and then it was like strides, i went through the whole sprint carrying the momentum of the fast start.

Reduced frequency lately, little too much work + back to non-quarantined life. Its fine, maybe some forced recovery was needed.

RUN 7.5K @ 47:03

Went out to push myself after 1 week of nothing, goal was a 6:00 average pace for a 45:00 total time for that distance.
Forgot to factor in the weather, was the hottest day of the year, although i went to run at 9PM it was 30'C / 60% humidity.
Also my pacing was rusty, i went out too fast and did the first 3 kms @ 5:30 pace. That is a little faster than my tempo-run pace for that course, with perfect weather conditions and form.
Obviously i gassed out at around 4K, kept pushing till 5K where average pace was 5:50 and i was dead, then did 2.5 more slow kms to finish exhausted at an average pace of 6:15.
Next day i got insane quad soreness , as if i had squatted!
:derp:
