23  March

RUN 8K @ 45:41 ( 5:42 pace )

15''/km faster than last time but more important, bouncy elastic feel. Finally!!!

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?

4 days prolonged weekend travel to Athens, obviously no training ( except 15K steps walking around the city daily lol)
Back at it. 1 month out of the 10K race. Switching running and cutting to absolute priority.

28 March

TREADMILL : 1hr / 9.3K

1st and last km around 7:30 , all the rest around 6:00.
Longest duration and distance in 2023 in any kind of run, lifetime PR for both those on a treadmill.
NICE!

Low aerobic zone run

8K @ 1:07:26 ( 8:26 pace )

Fail, couldn't keep pace or HR controlled. Wanted to run at 7:30 but the slowest i could go was 7:00 which would drive HR over 150 fast, then i had to walk and so on.
Sucked it up and did the run like that anyway.

TEMPO RUN

1K cool down

Target pace was 5:20
I got 5:12 / 5:14 / 5:30(uphill) / 5:17

Very happy with those sprints. A few seconds per km faster than last same workout 3 weeks ago but with an extra mile sprint.

SS1a : DIPS: 7 @ BW
SS1b : CHINUPS: 6 @ BW
SS1 info : 6 rounds

STATIONARY BIKE: 30 minutes / 18.1 km

Kind of PR on the bike. I do those sessions staying always on low HR zone (currently 149bpm), so it is a kind of fitness test, the mileage i can get for a given time.
My limit was 17 to 17.5K for 30 minutes, so nice jump to 18.1K !

RUN 8K @ 46:40 ( 5:50 pace )

A little slower than last time but run was under strong wind (15 to 20mph), front or side for the bigger part.
Feeling is definitely improving and so are all the Garmin performance metrics.

"VO2 MAX" RUN

3K warmup
Sprint 5x800m / 2 mins walking rest ( +1 sprint )
2K cool down

Goal pace for the 800s was 4:45 (that i got on average last time), I got around 4:40 in all sprints, with an extra sprint.
Overall i am constantly improving, but i am out of time. 10K race is in 2.5 weeks and i have Greek Easter ahead (1 week of complete disaster).
Oh well, it is what it is, ill just keep pushing. I have another corporate games 5K race soon after the 10K so it al adds up nice.

Low aerobic zone run

10K @ 1:17:01 ( 7:42 pace )

Finally a true spring night, pleasantly cool, dry, no wind. Instant results:
2K more than last time while 15''/km  faster, longest run of the year in duration and distance, great pacing control.
More nights like this please!!!

13 April

RUN 8K @ 43:20 ( 5:25 pace )

Another glorious spring night, another milestone-ish run:
Fastest pace in a run since half-marathon race in 2022, broke 5:30 barrier, broke 24:00 and 50:00 on garmin race predictions for 5&10K and so on.
And then, as promised, 1 week of nothing (Greek Easter holidays).
Damage aftermath today.
10K race next Sunday.
