Thanks Coach for the advice and contnued encouragement, also for posting my running story, herewith Wednesdays training:
I ran the Wednesday, “speed session”. This wasn’t great but I felt better than the previous one that I ran, there was a bit of lethargy in the legs but the breathing felt a bit better. Herewith the session.
1st Km – 1.02Km - 4’59 @ 150 BPM although my HR was a bit high I did feel that I ran a little within my max potential.
2nd Km – 2.02Km – 10’16 @ 154 BPM I started the 2K segment quite well and maintained good form until the 2nd 500 m and felt everything just collapse after that over the next 1.5K. My legs felt really heavy, head drop and shoulders drooping. I managed to focus at least on maintaining good breathing through the rest of the segment.
3rd Km – 1.03Km – 4’48 @ 154 BPM Sharp start to the segment and again a bit of fall off through the middle from around the 400m mark until about 800m. I forced myself to pick it up over the final 200m and finished strong but broken over the line.
The session I think went fairly well given my heavy legs which may have been the result of Monday’s longish run high up on the slopes of the Vineyards. Looking forward to the Parkrun in the morning.
