2 April

Low aerobic HR zone run 9K @ 1:07:56 ( 7:33 pace )

That was the longest (in km) low HR run of 2024.
Also the longest (in duration) any kind of run of 2024.
Was a bit slower than last week's low HR run though. Oh well, can't have it all.

4 April

Tempo run

3K low aerobic HR zone warmup
Sprint 3x1000m / 90'' walking rest
2K low aerobic HR zone down

Goal pace for the 1K sprints was 4:45 first and then negative splits.
I got 4:46 / 4:44 / 4:33. Sweet!
Also that was the 6th run in the last 9 days.

Its going really good lately. Pity i didn't start pushing earlier. Race is 12 days, I'm not at the level I'd want to, but i think i can challenge my 48:31 PR

9 April

RUN 8K @ 42:40 ( 5:19 pace )

Fastest run of 2024.
5K split was 26:59 , also fastest of 2024 , paced 5:22.
But besides the fastest 5K , i also got negative split for the last 3K too!
Finally, last km (although it has 500m uphill) was done in 4:50 which again fastest km split of 2024 in a run and challenges even my 1K tempos.
Freaking awesome!

11 April

Low aerobic HR zone run 11K @ 1:19:23 ( 7:13 pace )

By far the longest (in km AND duration) any kind of run of 2024.
Fastest low aerobic HR zone run of 2024 too, despite it being the longest one.
Actually, i have done only a handful better/faster long slow runs ever, the last 2-3 weeks before my half marathon. This one was top 5 ever easy.
God damn, why didn't i start 2 weeks earlier, improvements are raging.
Ok, one more intense workout over the weekend and then it's taper week.

"Race emulation run

2K low aerobic HR zone warmup
Run 6x800m @ race target pace / 90'' walking rest
2K low aerobic HR zone cool down

Goal pace was 4:45 (which leads to 47:30 10K run and a whole minute PR ).
I got : 4:45 4:47 4:45 4:43 4:46 4:41

That was nice. Body tended to pick up a 4:40 pace but i controlled it. If I'm on a good day and weather helps, it feels like i can keep this for the entire 10K race.

Here are my goals:
47:30 or below will be amazing
47:30 to 48:30 (PR) will be success
48:30 to 50:00 will be acceptable if something goes bad, e.g shoe untied like last year , bad weather, some small ache/mishap etc.
50:00 and above will be pure fail.

15 April

Run 5K @ 26:01 ( 5:12 pace )

Taper week, keeping same intensity but lowering mileage as always.
This 5K was done up-tempo but nowhere near max, expecting its average pace to land about 10'' below recent 5:20 8Ks. Bingo!

LATERAL DB RAISE : 4x10, @ 12.5kg each hand
EZ BAR CURL : 3x12 @ 35 kg ( + 2.5 kg for all sets )
ROPE PUSHDOWN : 3x12 @ 23kg

Strong!

17 April

2K low aerobic HR zone warmup
Run 1500m @ race target pace
2K low aerobic HR zone cool down

Went for 4:45 pace , hit 4:46 without even looking watch much. Only saw the 1K split which was 4:40 so i tried to regulate by feel for the other 500m, it worked.
It felt like lungs/heart are up for doing this for the entire 10K. Legs were kinda tired but that's what this week is for,

19 April

SS1a : DIPS: 7 @ BW
SS1b : CHINUPS: 6 @ BW
SS1 info : 5 rounds

TREADMILL:
Low aerobic HR zone run 5K @ 29:58 ( 5:59 pace )

That's my first ever sub-6' low aerobic zone 5K. Treadmill is faster than real for me but still its best performance ever even on treadmill.

21 April

10K RACE : 48:27 official (4:50 pace)

Broke my PR by 5 seconds!!! Watch beeped 10K @ 48:17 a few meters before the finish line but i won't count that, its an IAAF officially certified race so chip time it is.
Can't say i was on my best fitness/race day ever, but it was definitely the most matured one. Controlled reserves and pace very well, brought it where i wanted, to be able to push the last km for the PR and so i did ( final km split 4:42 , 8'' below average which gave me the 5'' PR).
Also, my first 5K split was 24:08 so second one was 24:20 , but those first 5K include 2km of downhill ( timed 4:30 both ). To give some perspective, my previous PR at the same race was 48:32 but first 5K split was 23:10.
So considering/normalizing the downhill, this time i can claim i had negative 2nd split, progress!!!

Thanks guys, i really appreciate the support!!!

Ok lets catch up:

23 April

BENCH PRESS: 4x10 @ 45 kg
SEATED CABLE ROW : 4x10 @ 56 kg
DB LATERAL RAISES :4x10 @ 10kg

STATIONARY BIKE : 15 minutes / 10km

-Felt fatigued, decided to take the change to deload a bit.

24 April

Run 7K @ 50:51 ( 5:50 pace )

Ultra bad, was nice and fast and springy until 4-5K but then i got too fatigued , felt like hitting the wall after 5.5K.
Weird, systemic fatigue i guess?

Took the rest of the week off, Partly voluntary, partly due to much work and life.
It would be perfectly fine but i forgot that it is Easter week now, uh-oh gotta try to save what i can.

29 April

Run 8K @ 43:40 ( 5:27 pace )

1 km more than last week, yet 23''/km faster, with much better feeling.
Back to a standard good sub-5:30 rather easy run. Nice.
