Cycle 2 sub 50
Day 5
Waking pulse=49
Long Run

Took it light, made sure my pulse was capped at 140... Overall a very enjoyable run.
P/s had a slight mistep due to uneven tiles on the pavement which caused a minor roll on my right ankle.Initial pain but settled quite quickly with no pain during rest of the long run. After run only a slight discomfort. I'm monitoring it and applying anti inflammatory gel.

It was a good workout, managed to stay on pace according to my feel without pushing too much. Quite happy with the results, marked improvement from the previous 5x1k session where the average was 4'50.

Things are looking good Anba .. how is the ankle? Make sure to keep your calf muscles loose, as the calf muscle plays a role in keeping the ankle stable
a good test to see how things are going (now) is to put your arms out so you look like a T and balance on the lone leg where the ankle turned. If you shake a fair amount then the ankle has not recovered completely. If you stable good, but further to this, close your eyes and see how things go.
good luck TheEd

Good day coach.
1. Regarding the ankle, its good. I did the T standing test like you mentioned, ankle was stable and I'm stretching the claf, plus doing heel, tip toe walking
to strenghten the ankle. Thanx for the advice coach.

Hi Anba, one of the best exercise routines for ankle strengthening we recommend is doing the alphabet in capital letters A to Z .. with your big toe, draw the letter A and go through the whole alphabet ..
good to hear all good

Thanx coach for the ankle strengthening exercise, will definitely do it...
Regarding my Saturday 5k Pace run, what pace should I run it or ? rate i should go for ?
RE: Gabba Gabba Hey Ho let's - TheEd - 19-12-2019
Hi Anba, re: 5k paced
start of slowly and then after 3k look to accelerate
if you want to work off pulse, then for data gathering, don't allow the pulse to go over 140 to 150
140 in early stages (1st km) and then don't allow pulse to go over 150, if the pulse does not raise to that then look to see that you not running faster than 3:45 per k in the 1st 3km
hope this makes sense and enjoy the exercise
TheEd
ps.. the last 2km you can run as you feel but be in control
RE: Gabba Gabba Hey Ho let's - Anba - 19-12-2019
Tq very much coach,
I'm going to use the heart rate approach...
Will make sure the pulse goes within the 140-150 range.

Day 12
Waking pulse=47
5k paced run
No/Time/avg Pulse /Max pulse
1 / 5'38 /142 / 149
2 / 5'49 / 144 / 151
3 / 5'50 / 145 / 154
4/ 5'53 / 145 / 151
5 / 5'51 / 148 / 156
A bit tricky of a run, I was monitoring the pulse for the whole run... Since I'm using my watch, the pulse sometimes spikes which is normal I guess for a OHR type...overall it was something new for me .
As in trying to adjust the pace according to the pulse...pace was going up and down... Funny ...did enjoy it though...
P/s I just realised after rereading again that I'm supposed to accelerate without locking my pace within 150 pulse lol...
