That race wrecked me, 36 hours later i was still too tired to do the pushups/bent rows workout, chose this one which is the easiest.

13 April

Easy run 10K @ 59:17 ( 5:56 pace )

Still drained from the race, physically and mentally! Just going along with it doing the best i can (or the least bad if you will ).

Nice! Two shorter super-sets feel much better than one never ending long one. Might consider switching to that scheme. But i need more exercises.

15 April

Low aerobic HR zone run 10K @ 1:15:42



16 April

"Speed form" run

Low aerobic HR zone warm up 4K
Sprint 8*400m / 3 minutes walking rest
Low aerobic HR zone cool down 2K

Sprints target pace is 4:02
I got : 4:05 , 4:07 , 4:02 , 3:58 , 4:03 , 4:08 , 4:05 , 3:34

Was trying to get the target pace by feel, without looking watch, i was failing by a couple of seconds as you can see.
Welt all out at the last one to check reserves/potential, happy with 3:34 pace (no extra rest for it).



Something has happened, i think i leveled up. The low HR zone runs both days were better than ever. I didn't ever need to do walking breaks as usual to bring HR down. I would just go on jogging in a nice continuous slow pace and HR wouldn't rise. Also at the 400m sprints intervals, HR recovery was shocking fast.
Watch agrees, it upped my low HR zone threshold to 153bpm. It also upped my VO2max to 48 (highest ever) and predicted race times are now all well below actual PRs and the best readings ive ever seen.
Good timing for an Easter break derail lol  :-\ :uhhhfacepalm:

Little over 1 week of Easter holidays is over. no training, much food drink and cigars. Totally worth it!

28 April

Easy run 10K @ 59:16 ( 5:55 pace )

Just what i expected, a little rusty but not too much, Was actually around 5:40 for 6-7K but then i got too tired, last 1.5K was a grind.

Went away for the Labor day long weekend and then had a demotivated week. Just didn't want to train. Took it easy, it just happens.
Back on track now, hopefully.

10 May

Run 8K @ 47:44 ( 5:58 pace )

Horribly out of shape. Was stiff and hit the wall around 6.5K.
Terminated early due to that ( initial target was 10K ) , yet i barely stayed under the 6:00 average km pace. ( I did 4:50 10K race just 1 month ago FFS ).
On the other hand, since 16 April i did only one 10K run at the 28th. That's 1 run in 3.5 weeks and no runs the last 2 weeks. Shouldn't expect better.
No rush, i am not chasing any races or PRs anytime soon so i'll ease back into it.

13 May

Low aerobic HR zone run 7K @ 53:08 ( 7:35 pace )

Session terminated early due to a sudden storm that came out of nowhere.



15 May

10K recreational bike ride.

Barely counts as training ( max heart rate was 110 ) but it was extremely fun and it teased me to get a bike.
Long slow runs are very boring, bike rides are so much nicer, time flies by.

Race news:
  • There is this awesome race next weekend, 10K all downhill with a very pleasant (visually) course. But for some weird reason the race is at 10:30pm. That is way too late for Greek June, it is around 27-28'C / 80'F in the shadow those days, while the entire course is in fully sunburned road btw. Screw it, i am skipping it unless last minute weather predictions are for cloudy day.
  • The big nght event that i go each year registrations are open. It is 5K and half marathon. I registered for the half!!!!!  :ibrunning: :headbang:

31 May:

Run 3.5K @ ~5:50 pace
Ankle sprain!  :raging:
Walk/slow jog 3.5K back home.

FFFFUUUUUU. I twisted my ankle at a pavement crack. Was very painful when it happened. Couldn't even walk for 1 minute. Started slowly walking then, with intense limping.
But it got well very fast. Walked/jogged back home, no bugging. I did RICE,  precautionary. But around when i went to sleep ( 5 hours after the snap ) it got very bad, i would have intense pain even when just laying the sprained side on the mattress.
Much better today ( 15 hours later ) but still hurts, gotta limp in like one of every 3-4 steps.
Looks like its mild/minor thankfully, more RICE today. But looks like there will be no running for a while, FML

:ffffffuuuuuu:

Ankle sprains are strange in terms of recovery. I remember when I was walking with my brother and he joking around ended jumping on my ankle twisting it while weight on it. The pain was mild but got progressively worse that it's own weight let alone weight of light duvet would give major pain. But it becomes more prone to twists and takes a while for it to be recover fully.

Heal up well man
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up
-------------------------------------------------------------
Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm
