Yes, solid reminder! I am aiming for some kind of progress at each run, distance or time, but i'm more like waiting for it to happen than push myself to make it.

1 March

DEADLIFT :
8 @ 30kg
5 @ 50kg
5 @ 70 kg
5 @ 90kg
5 @ 100kg
3 @ 110kg
2 @ 120kg ( + 1 rep )
1 @ 130kg , recent years

, last time i lifted 130 was May2018

INCLINE DB PRESS : 4x10 @ 20 kg each hand
LATERAL DB RAISE : 4x10, @ 12.5kg each hand
LAT PULL DOWN : 10, 10, 10, 10 @ 71kg ( +1 reps for last set )
EZ BAR CURL : 3x12 @ 27.5kg
SKULL CRUSHERS : 3x12 @ 27.5kg
DB SHRUGS : 3x12 @ 20kg each hand

2 March

Tempo run

3K low aerobic HR zone warmup
Sprint 3x1000m / 90'' walking rest
1K low aerobic HR zone down

Goal pace for the 1K sprints was 5:00.
I got 4:55 / 5:01 / 5:05. Nice.

one thing to try, in terms of pushing yourself and also learning better pacing, is to try to hit the intervals with descending times. you want to have a negative split in any race over like a mile, from everything i've read, so it's best to practice that way. instead of 4:55, 5:01, 5:05, try to do 5:05, 5:01, 4:55. or better yet, 5:01, 4:55, 4:51.

Yes, that too, "negative splits is the sign of a runner's maturity".
Alright, lets apply all that advice together

:

4 March

Run 8K @ 43:36 ( 5:27 pace )

Fastest run of 2024 , 13'' per km faster than last week!
Wasn't even a near-max run, just kept in mind to stay a bit uptempo for the entire duration.
Last km split : 4:59 , by far the fastest obviously, also just as fast as the best 1K sprint of last tempo run. Sweet!

-De-loading legs weights even more.
Gonna keep it to a building to a heavy (90% or so) single for squats and deadlifts.
Gonna add a weekly tempo session till the race in 5 weeks too.
I need all the legs juice for running.

13 March

Tempo run

3K low aerobic HR zone warmup
Sprint 3x1000m / 90'' walking rest

Goal pace for the 1K sprints was 4:55 or so ( just below 5:00 ) AND negative splits, each sprint should be faster.
I got 4:53 / 4:48 / 4:31 , superb!!!

14 March

TREADMILL:
Low aerobic HR zone run 30 mins / 4.53K ( 6:38 pace )

It is happening, fitness is finally picking up. I'm feeling and performing better every time.
Hope 1 remaining month of preparation continues linearly like last time i trained focused.

17 March

VO2 max run

2K low aerobic HR zone warmup
Sprint 4x800m / 90'' walking rest

Goal pace for the sprints was around 4:45 based on 4:50 average tempo lately.

I got 4:43 (downhill) / 4:47 (even) / 4:55 (uphill) / 4:40 (even or slightly uphill)

Negative splits are progressing great, while sprint times are also dropping. Awesome!!!

27 March

RUN 8.5K @ 46:33 ( 5:29 pace )

Fastest&longest 'real' run of 2024. Ive run faster but it was 8K and ive run 8.5K but i was slower

Also , weirdly, the run disappeared from Garmin app. It was saved normally in the watch and it synced with the app, but Garmin servers were down at that moment ( Wednesday night here, noon in US ). Then when they came back up and app synced, the run disappeared . FML it was a good run, i wanted it to affect my data.

28 March

Low aerobic HR zone run 8K @ 58:38 ( 7:20 pace )

That ties the longest low HR run of 2024 (but was much faster).
Also was the fastest one (even from shorter ones).
And obviously the longest-and-fastest one.

Nice, nice.

1 April

RUN 10K @ 58:10 ( 5:49 pace )

First time doing 10K in 2024. Held back pace a little, wanted the distance stimulus.
Ended up 20s/km slower than last week which is a bit too much but also run was done at +90% humidity air with African desert dust, kinda awful.
Also, 8K split was at 5:53 pace , then finished strong with 5:35 and 5:28 negative splits. Sweet.
