TREADMILL : 45 minutes / 6.5K

I hate treadmill with passion, but its freezing and windy outside so had no other option ( it doesn't help that my most convenient run time is around 9PM ).
Very much out of shape, but ill get it back.

RUN 7.5K @ 47:36 ( 6:21 pace )

So 1 month since my last run, with only a 45' treadmill run in between, 2 weeks ago.
Still out of shape but somehow this felt better and was longer and significantly faster than those last 2 runs ( 6K @ 6:46 / 6:55 paces respectively ).
Now gotta actively switch focus/priority to runs. 10K race is 2.5 months out. Weather started improving too, no excuses!

TEMPO RUN

2K warmup
4x1000m @ 5:00 / 5:32 / 5:55 (uphill) / 5:38
2K cool down

Yay , first weekend run of the year, finally. First intense run too.
Didn't know what to expect for the tempo 1Ks, 5:30 seemed realistic.
I somehow went too fast at the first one (i swear i looked my watch midway and saw 5:50 average, probably was 4:50? ), which ruined my reserves.
All in all very happy though, even with the mistake, the rest sprints were around 5:30 that i was targeting. Now let's keep it up.

RUN 8K @ 48:18 ( 6:02 pace )

500m more, 20 seconds / km less. Also first 5K below 30' again. Nice.
Current level is still disappointing but progress is very fast (like 20''/km every week, while slowly adding distance too), that feels promising.
