Run -- 6.50k, 44:51

Notes

HR in the 110s/low 120s most of this. Kept is very easy and pretty short. Want do to a bit more volume this weekend, but trying to keep the rebuild conservative stil. Aiming for ~25k over the weekend for ~60k on the week.

Notes

Had too big a bowl of oats too soon before the run, so felt pretty bad until about kilometer 6. Pleased with how controlled that 3:54 k felt! Steady here is like 4:50 pace, fwiw.

Run -- 10.23k, 1:01:20

Notes

Nice, good to have a 6:00 easy run at sub 130 HR day after a session + some calf work. Felt pretty decent/robust despite some ricketty feelings at points this week. Kept it shorter because, as I say, no need to rush. Load for the week, per intervals.icu, was at 305, so ~43/day. Peak fitness I reached was 47, so a steady build up from here should get me there in a matter of weeks as long as I am sensible and say under injury thresholds/pay attention to body signals.

Notes

Feel pretty fatigued lately, had a two day mild head/neck ache, which is usually the sign that I'm little wrung out. Need a proper restorative weekend (which doesn't mean one where I don't train, just need to do some nice and/or fun stuff as well0

-- Run
- w/u
- 8 x (3' on / 1' off)
- c/d

9.88k, 52:17 total.

Notes

4:16 pace average for the reps, Average HR in the mid 160s, peaking in the low 170s. RPE of final rep like 3/4. Looks like I've retained a decent level of fitness there.

Read James Copeland's book on his training/Norwegian Singles Method and realised today is exactly 15 weeks out from the next half marathon I signed up for. My peak CTL that I've reached is 47, and my CTL going into my last/first half was 43.

Given this, my goal is to ramp up pretty conservatively and aim to hit 52 CTL in the week before Hackney. I'm at 37/38 atm, so that's a ramp rate of 1 per week, and just involves increasing weekly load 5 per week, peaking at around 400.

Means starting at ~320 mins easy + 72 mins SubT, increasing those each by ~3-5 and ~1-3 min per week, peaking at 370/96.

Excited! Not really ever done a proper running training plan before, and think that sitting out and working through this and how to build at a sensible rate was a good exercise. Hoping this will keep me pretty fresh -- weeks 1 through 9 of this look pretty easy to me, tbh. Which is good! Think in the past I went aggressive with load building, jumping from 320 -> 350 -> 380 rather than building more gradually.
