Morning TheEd
Did not do a tempo run this morning. Did a 5k test, just to have a marker for the year.
I thought maybe Sundays long run would still be in the legs, but legs were fine, I think.
First 3k were relaxed but then from 3.5k I could feel I was getting tired. Had to really focus to keep pace for the last 1k.
HR - 174bpm, pace - 4:39/km, time - 23:15, dist - 5,01km
Z3 - 1:09, Z4 - 4:44, Z5 - 16:39
Were tired afterwards, but not wasted. Felt that I recovered rather well during my cooldown jog.
Gavin will you please give me guidance on how to approach training the 2 week before the trail race. That is now next week and the week thereafter. Race is on 14Feb.
------------------------------------------
Thursday.
Felt flat on this morning's hill session, but managed to complete the session. Struggled to get home with my cooldown run. Garmin says this morning session was unproductive
Warmup - 20min
10xhill loops - HR-159bpm, pace - 6:47/km, time - 48:47, dist - 7.19k
Z2 - 18:50, Z3 - 9:12, Z4 - 8:21, Z5 - 8:51
cool down - 19min
Plan for Sunday's long run. - 90min in Z3
regards
Phil
