Sub-45 Here I come. - bmclough - 05-02-2009
Hi TheEd
How are you? Long time no speak. I have made a fully recovery from my injury and spent January slowing building up my fitness again and doing plenty of long slow running. I felt good enough to start the sub-45 program and so I did this week. I have a 4 mile XC on February 23rd so I can am going to do a cycle before it. It wont be a race to set a time in but it will be a good test anyway.
I have a few races in the pipeline but the first 10k I see will probably be at the end of May. I do have a 4, a 5 and an 8 miler :mmm: before that. I will shore up dates with you next week. No road races here till April as far as I can see though.
Here is the 2k interval results. I did these on threadmill with 1% incline as weather does not suit these for outdoors yet. I went through pain on the last but I have experienced worse.
Length|Duration|Start Hr|Avg Hr|Max Hr|Rest
2k|9:30|101|166|172|2 min
2k|9:30|112|170|176|2 min
2k|9:30|122|172|178|2 min
2k|9:30|127|173|180|2 min
Great to be back

nice solid session and very promising to see the last 2k was on target despite the fatigue

Thanks TheEd. I am feeling good about getting to this 45 minute hurdle in the first 6 months of this year. I managed to not gain any weight over the break and maintain some strength and fitness.
Looking back on my previous thread that would seem to be as good a performance as I have put in on the 2k session too.
Resting today and long run tomorrow.

You should go faster with tomorrow's session especially after your last 2k session where you ran 4.15 per k for 2k
so start with 4.15 and see what comes from the session
Cheers

Yikes I was actually doing 4:45 per k in the 2k session. It would be great to be at the 4:15 stage now but not quite there yet. Plenty of work to do. I was thinking of going for 4:20->4:24's all the way.
Sub-45 Here I come. - TheEd - 09-02-2009
ooops sorry a bad hair day for me there
15 seconds per k faster from that pace
sorry
so maybe 4.30 to 4.35
my apologies

Hi TheEd
Here is the output from the 1k session. I was happy enough on with this but still trying to build confidence in myself since the injury.
I was not comfortable on the last rep due to stomach issues (say no more). 2 nice easy days now before the paced run on Saturday.
2k warm up

a very consistent session
coming together quite nicely
TheEd
ps.. have you pace for Saturday?
Sub-45 Here I come. - bmclough - 11-02-2009
No can you recommend a pace, if I go for 22:30 I know I will be flat out at moment and I am not sure if that is best. 23:15/23:30 maybe what do you think?
