Low aerobic zone run

13.5K @ 1:48:12 , 8:01 pace / 134 bpm

That is back to back low-aerobic-zone run distance (+1K ) duration ( +6 mins ) AND pace ( -11s/km ) triple  :personal-record:
It is also, even by just 1 minute, the longest running session duration of any kind, ever!  :personal-record:

Yup, this week definitely went great!

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?

'Speed form' run

2K warm up
Sprint 8x400m / about 3.5 minutes walking rest
2K cool down

Goal pace for the 400s was 4:15
I got mostly 3:55 , two times 4:17(uphill) and two times 3:45(downhill).
Awesome, finally negative splits, by a lot actually, without any of the sprints being max.
3 weeks ago that i did that workout again i got 4:25 average, 4:38 uphill, 4:10 downhill. Great progress!!!

9 March

ATG PAUSED SQUAT ( tempo 3:2:1  ):
6x12 @ 25kg

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 15 @ BW
SS1b : BENT OVER ROWS : 15 @ 25kg
SS1 info : 8 rounds

Strong.
Finding it hard to add reps/sets, workout is 1 hour long and sets already long and tiring. Trying to focus on small improvements in form/control/ROM strictness.

Easy run 17.5K @ 1:51:33

This is lifetime distance AND duration PR , previous were 17K / 1:48:00 ,  :personal-record: :ibrunning: :personal-record: :ibrunning:

First 12K were again sup 6:00 km pace, but then it got bad, especially after 14K. I don't know what happened, lungs were fine but legs got stiff and i got slow.
Felt pretty much like hitting the wall, I run out of carbs/glycogen maybe? I wasn't prepared for a big run now that i think about it, this was done at night, both lunch of the same day and dinner of previous night were low on carbs.

ATG PAUSED SQUAT ( tempo 3:2:1  ):
5x12 @ 25kg
Finisher 25 @ 25kg ( + 13 reps )

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 15 @ BW
SS1b : BENT OVER ROWS : 15 @ 25kg
SS1 info : 7 rounds
Finisher:
PUSHUPS 23@BW ( + 8 reps )
BENT OVER ROWS : 23 @ 25kg ( + 8 reps )

Added the finishers. Not as an extra set like in the other training day. This one is already 1 hour long and exhausting, so substituted the last set of each exercise with an AMRAP finisher.
Very very nice!

Wow, 3 days without training and i feel like i am a couch potato traitor that took a break for months lol

Easy run 12K @ 1:17:50

Failed session because:
  • It was cold and windy outside but not as much as i thought, so i ended up over-dressed.
  • I forgot i ate late, so i went running about 2.5 hours after a (heavy) lunch.
Result was too heavy legs, sweating like crazy, HR going up too easy too much. Ended up with 6:29 average pace, half a minute slower than ordinary.
Shit happens!  ::)

'Speed form' run

3K warm up
Sprint 8x400m / about 3.5 minutes walking rest
1.5K cool down

Goal pace for the 400s was 4:15
Got all splits negative, most sprints around 4:10 , a few 3:5x , and at then there was this 2nd sprint that synced to be all downhill and i went all out:
I got 1:19 ( 3:19 pace )  which is lifetime  :personal-record: ( previous was 1:20). I also got a reading of a max pace of 2:42 / 22.2kmh at the beginning of that max sprint,  :personal-record:

Great run, felt so fast! Even more impressive than the PR is  that i still got the following 6 sprints below target pace, without extra rest!
