Hi MMS .. you seem to be approaching tings with caution
hopefully April will see you getting closer and closer to the training you desire

Hi Coach,
Last week I was able to run 4 times, as programmed. The first two, started at 6:20/k and then increased the pace up to 5:50/k. The other two, started at the same 6:20/k but slowly increased up to 5:20/k. This way I ran a total of 29,9Km at an avr pace of 5:55/k. It was nice to run a bit faster again. Foot remains ok, icing and stretching are still done.
For this week :
Tue: 45min
Wed:45min
Thu: Off
Fri:45min
Sat:Off
Sun: 10K Race @ easy pace
For the following week, I believe I could start build up at 75% again, once the total mileage of my last week is about the same of build up at 75% without running more than 3 consecutive days. How does it sound?
Tks!

Hi Coach,
Everything was fine during yesterdayôs 10K race. I ran the first 7km with a friend of mine who was starting his training again. We kept an avr pace of 5:56/k all the way. But after that, I decided to constantly increase my speed up to the end. I finished the 8th in 4:46, the 9th in 4:30 and the 10th in 4:17. Total time of 55:04. I was quite happy with this 3k performance. :jester:
My legs and my foot are fine. I feel recovered but I wonôt get to excited with that. Iôll stick to the plan. Start Build Up tomorrow, running 45min, no more than 3 consecutive days or hill work and keep my bpm around 145-150. After this first cycle we can decide to increase time/frequency of my runs. :p
Btw, how is your training these days?
Tks.

Hi Coach,
Everything was fine last week. Here itôs how I organized last week with Tue as Day 1:
Tue: 45min
Wed:45min
Thu:45min
Fri:OFF
Sat:45min
Sun: 60min
Mon: OFF
Only the Wed run was at night, so this is the only run within the ahr limit of 145-150 (148). The other runs were at the same pace (6:20 to 6:30/k) at the same course, but, as you know, with higher ahr (156). Sometimes I ran 3 extra minutes just to complete a lap. As a result I ran almost 38Km, wich is 15% more than last week.
As for this week, I shall repeat it only adding a faster end of the Wedôs run.
Cheers.

As you could see, my ahr on Sat run was higher than Sun, both in the morning. One reason I think is that on Sat I started running too close after I woke up (no more than 30min), while on Sun it was after 2hs after waking up. Does it sound possible?
Tks!

very definitely, some people are not really morning runners and struggle to get into things straight away
nice to see you coming along and you have your easy runs under control while increasing distance with caution
how is the foot?

My foot is fine! :ok: Although I donôt feel anything at all, I keep icing and doing stretching exercises everyday.
For this week, Iôll add 5 minutes for each run, so next week Iôll start cycle 2 with 1hs runs.
