Great, thanks. I'll look to do speed sessions like that and post up the minimum resting HR also from now on.
I have found a 10k local race (they don't come up too often!) for Sunday 19th May, so just over a week's time. Would we be able to arrange the program around it?
Latest update below...
Day 4
Rest
Day 5
16.78km in 1 hour 44 mins (6:11/km).
Av HR 149
This was a bit tougher than the last long run. The first 6-7k were very easy but then I had to slow the pace to try and keep the HR under 150. Felt pretty tired for the last few km. When I got in I started feeling quite sick and had stomach pains. I remember I used to get this years ago when training for marathon / half marathon when I was increasing the long run mileage. Thinking about why it happened, I think possibly some dehydration as I didn't take any fluids with me, but also I had some banana bread for breakfast which was a few days old and my other half said upset her stomach also. Probably a combination of the above along with my body getting used to the longer distance. Lesson learned and will take hydration drink out with me next time! (I'm sure I learned this lesson before but so long ago it has been forgotton!!).
cheers
