Easy run 6K @ 35:10 ( 5:51 pace )
Low aerobic zone run 2.5K @ 25:46

1 September

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 12 @ BW
SS1b : BENT ROWS : 12 @ 25kg
SS1 info : 10 rounds

Very controlled movement. Much more strong  (or less weak) than what i expected (or what i feared). Very nice.

2 September

Low aerobic zone run 8K @ 1:06:27 ( 8:18 pace )

Too slow, my pre-break pace for those runs was 8:00 and weather was really nice yesterday night, cool and dry. Oh well, it is what it is.

So there you go, goals for end of September : sub 6:00 pace for easy 10K / sub 8:00 pace for low aerobic zone runs.

9 September

Easy run 6K @ 34:57 ( 5:50 pace )
Low aerobic zone run 2K @ 19:19

Autumn is here. Went out ready for a performance boost from temperature being down to 20'C/68'F but didn't count on the little over 90% RH. Still felt better.

Also, long awaited, garmin got a software update and rearranged my heart rate zones.
Before it was one size fits all, anything over 140 was considered pace. Now it bumped that threshold up to 144.
Old man is fit  ;D

Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

^Same here, will be 28 max today and may go to 30-32 next week but that is the noon max, it gets cool in the (noticeably longer now) night. Those horrific 40 max / 32 midnight / 26 min days are over.

10 September:

SS1a : OVERHEAD PRESS : 10 @ 25 kg
SS1b : BICEP CURLS : 8 @ 25 kg
SS1c : CHAIR TRICEP DIPS : 10 @ BW
SS1 info : 8 rounds

Haven't done this workout since 20 July. Restarted myself, could do more reps but decided to be ultra strict with form / ROM / control. Gonna keep it that way, quality over quantity.

11 September

Tempo run

4K slow jog warmup
Sprint 3 x 1500m / 2.5 minutes walking rest

Theoretical target pace for the 1500s is 4:53
I got 4:50 / 5:05 / 4:55

I'm impressed, was expecting 5:15 or so. Weather sure helped, cool dry autumn night.
36 hours later, quads sore AF lol.

13 September

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 15 @ BW
SS1b : BENT ROWS : 15 @ 25kg
SS1 info : 10 rounds

Very strict form/ROM/control.
Gonna be a while until i can up reps, it gets really hard after 6th set. Might start adding some at early sends and then grind whatever i can.

14 September

Easy run 8K @ 44:57 ( 5:37 pace )
Low aerobic zone run 2K @ 19:25

Finally, a true autumn night both dry and cool. Instant performance enhancement, incredible, 2K more in 13''/km less. Heart rate was much lower also. Awesome!
Have been chasing this session, it's been 3 months of heat and then the de-training too, i had to get a good run in.
Now that i got it i can relax and go back to easy run target pace (5:52) for bigger distances.

15 September:

SS1a : OVERHEAD PRESS : 12 @ 25 kg ( +2 reps per set )
SS1b : BICEP CURLS : 10 @ 25 kg ( +2 reps per set )
SS1c : CHAIR TRICEP DIPS : 12 @ BW ( +2 reps per set )
SS1 info : 10 rounds

Maybe too soon to add reps, last 2 sets were a real grind. Got everything though, without any form compromise. Nice.

17 September

Low aerobic zone run 10K @ 1:22:10 ( 8:13 pace )

Sudden throwback summer night ( 28'C / 80%RH ) sabotaged me. Still great progress ( +2K distance , -5''/km pace , had sub 8:00 pace till 7th km ).

18 September

VO2-max run

3.5K warmup
Sprint 4x800m / 3 minutes walking rest
1.5K cool down

Theoretical trget pace for the 800s is 4:24
I got 4:23 / 4:30 / 4:31 / 4:37

Splendid! Was the first 800s session since mid July, plus it was another hot and humid night. I would be perfectly fine with a 4:45 average, the 4:30 that i got is awesome.

20 September

Easy run 10K @ 59:39 ( 5:58 pace )

Wasn't that 'easy' for the last 2K. And the first 8K felt almost as hard as last week's fast-easy 8K @ 5:37 pace.
I blame the weather, it was another summer throwback night, 28C / 80%RH. Hopefully that was probably the requiem , today north winds started and its is much colder and dryer.


So there you go, goals for end of September : sub 6:00 pace for easy 10K / sub 8:00 pace for low aerobic zone runs.

Sub 6:00 pace 10K , CHECK (V)
