Thor, are you taking a rest in-between these quality sessions?

try not to get too excited, your body can do with the rest

onwards TheEd

Thanks for asking, TheEd!

I follow your base building program as close as possible so tomorrow is another resting day. I feel pretty good but the few days of rest in the program is needed, for sure. You are right though, pretty excited I'm up and at it again after a dull winter.

Again, really appreciate your help and guidance!

Happy easter to you!

Great stuff Thor, as long as you aware of the Rest needed and monitoring yourself

onwards and have a great Easter weekend

April 13th: Rest

April 14th: 60 min easy run
9,5 km @ 6.20 min/km
Avrg HR: 137

April 15th: 45 min easy @ 6.17 min/km+ 15 min harder @ 5.16 min/km

10km total. HR data not included as it misread for the first couple of km's.

April 16th: 60 min easy

9,4 km @ 6.24 min/km.

No heartrate data. Second day in a row that my HR monitor sky rockets for the first couple of km's before settling down to normal. Can it be low battery on the chest band unit that's causing it?

I consider two days rest after tomorrows fartlek. My foot aches after running in new shoes the last four sessions.
