'Easy' RUN 6K @ 40:14

Average pace 6:42, average HR 162.
10 seconds per km faster, at the same HR. Felt easier too. No muscle fatigue this time.
Conditions were much worse though, it was 28'C/75%RH so dew point was 23'C/73'F.
So overall, very good improvement.

'Easy' RUN 7K @ 45:40

Upped distance by 1km, yet average pace was now 6:31 , 11''/km faster than last time.
HR was a little higher, 166 vs 162. Didn't feel like that though, it felt easier than last time.
Conditions were same with last time, temperature is ok but this 75-80% humidity is devastating.

I am getting lighter on my feet. Need to start pushing now. Up frequency, bring back the Medium easy - long slow - tempo/HIIIT weekly sequence.

"Long slow" run 7K @ 1:00:46

Mostly bored-to-death slow jog and also some fast walking at uphills to keep HR low.
Average pace 8:40 , aimed for 8:30 but had to go slower to keep HR low.
Average HR  144 , wanted lower.
In my defense, conditions are still bad, temp 28'C+ humidity 60%= dew point 19'C/66'F.

Tempo run

-Warmup 1K @ 7:30
-Tempo 3K , goal pace was 5:30 , got 5:29/5:22/5:30
-Cooldown 2.5K @ ~8:00/km

TOTAL: 6.5K @ 45:21

First intense workout of the season.
Very happy with the tempo kms, not only i got (actually surpassed ) the goal pace but it was true tempo, like 90%, not time trial.
Weather is finally deciding to come true to the season, yesterday it was still very hot for 10pm (28'C/68 ) but humidity was down to 42%.

28 September

Easy run 7.5K @ 48:45

My garmin is broken ( FFFFUUU ), waiting for service, so i have no HR readings, im just going by feel.
Average pace 6:30 felt fairly easy, despite this being the longest 'easy run' so far and dew point was rather high ( good temperature , 24'C but >80% humidity).
Nice.

Tempo+ workout.

2K slow run warmup
2K tempo ++ 1K max
2K slow jog cool down

Total 7K @ 47:58

Frequency went down lately so upped the intensity of the workout by doing the last of the 3 tempo kms all out.
Goals were 5:30-5:30-5:00. Got 5:20/5:45/5:00. Impressive accuracy.

5 October

Easy run 7K @ 46:52

That was 6K @ 6:29 pace + 1K recovery slow jog
Actually VERY happy with this particular run, because 6:29 was really easy but humidity was 95% , literally visible in the air. Was difficult to breath and got soaked sweaty before even 1K.

Stepping my game up, i got a 5K race mid November and a 10K race 2 weeks later. Goals are as simple as breaking my PRs (23:40 / 56:54 )

7 October

Long slow run 8.5K @ 1:05:01

7:38 average pace ( 1 minute slower than "easy"), really easy and slow feeling, didn't even sweat much. Nice combo, 'long slow' run successful.
Also weather was 25'C / 70%RH,  not exactly ideal conditions, last 2K i got some light rain too.

10 October

1K warmup
Sprint 8x400m@100% , 3 mins slow walk recovery
2K cool down

Total 8K @ 1:00:20

Nice intense session, loved it. Got around 1:45 at most sprints (4:10 pace ) that were mixed incline. Close to 2:00 at the pure uphill.
I had 2 sprints that were all downhill, i went all out at them and got both times 1:20 ( 3:00 pace ) ,  :personal-record: , previous downhill 400m PR was 1:25 ( 3:29 pace ).

Gotta add volume now. Im kinda steady at 3xweek ~25K lately, which is good, but to really improve i gotta add a 4th session (easy run) which will bring me to around 30-35K/week.
