have you recovered Thor?

have been away for 2 days with only mobile access

TheEd

No worries, TheEd.

Recovered from the 5k session you mean? If so, then yes. Did the 3x5min fartlek today. Felt hard but way better than the 5k session. I don't know what happened with that one. Best not to dwell on it I guess

May 28th: 30 min easy @ 5.37/km. Avg. HR: 141

May 29th: 30 min easy @ 5.47/km. Avg. HR: 141

May 30th: Rest

May 31st: 10k race. 48.11 official time. My watch says 10.12 km @ 4.46. Don`t know what to make of it. I hope my watch is right. If so, at least I ran 5 sec faster per k than last race one month ago.

nice Thor .. great to see the progress

we will slowly change things, no need to 'bang it' all of a sudden

well done

TheEd

Thank you, TheEd!

I will take a couple of days off now, then do some shorter easy runs and then start the program over next week. Any changes in pacing? 4.45/km for the 4x2k intervals and 4.40/km (or faster?) for the 6x1k intervals?

Thor, depending on how you come back from the rest, you can start the 2k session at the same pace, and then increase the last 2 x 2k to 5 seconds per k quicker

make sure it is a controlled session, so hold back in the beginning

then we can see what pace we can move to for the 1k after your feedback

on we go

I feel pretty good at the moment. Did a 90 min long run today @ 6.20/km and avg. HR: 132, which felt nice and easy.
