Hi TheEd, so cycle1 day5 1:45 Easy Run.
14.73km 1:42.9 6:56/km - my longest run by some 20 minutes in the last 4 weeks.
It was a large loop around a load of country roads, so nowhere to stop or get a drink, and I kept moving the whole time.
I have also read that continuous running even at a slow pace will eventually recruit all of the available fibre pool, as the slow twitch fibres run out of glycogen and get rotated out, you eventually have to recruit fast twitch oxidative fibres, so wondering if this would be true or not?
By 90 minutes in my legs were getting quite sore, ankles and especially quads(glycogen depletion at work?), but whereas normally my breathing ramps up towards the end of a run, this time around, I could feel I was running at a much more comfortable heart rate.
I wonder if the faster work has already started to improve my O2 processing capacity?
Anyway, as you can see, I probably read too much about running and just need to get put and do it more, to reap the rewards :-)
1k intervals on the 26th, looking forward to them!
Cheers, Andy
