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  :personal-record: , 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

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?

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.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

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

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!
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21

13 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 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 )

Nice and fast and smooth.



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
1K low aerobic HR zone down

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!!!
