Tue
3.30am start for work - Come training time, i went to zzzz instead.
Wed
Burpee challenge - 12min 30sec (i think it’s the 2nd fastest time i have done - and about 60sec faster than this time last year)
Thur
20min jog at Heart rate avg of 117
Fri
10km run keeping hr under 160.
A very hilly run too
Sat
off
Sun
3 Laps of 1.216km each lap
Flat-ish, with a small hill over 300m up and down.
I noticed on the GPS graph, that each time over the hill, i would lose 1km/hr over the rest of the lap - i noticed this not just on this run, but every-time i ran this loop…
1 - 3min54sec = loop pb by 12sec
2 - 4min15sec
3 - 4min25sec - suffered from Back cramps right behind the lungs - they really slow things down (i had been lifting awkward equipment most of the day, and the back was tight)
4min 15sec is goal pace for the 10km run coming up. I’m glad i can finally do a faster lap to start with and back it up. (i’m sure if the back didn’t cramp, i would have stayed on pace)
Naturally, during a race, i won’t be taking off so fast in the 1st 1km.
Mon
Big storm when i went to go for a run
Tue
32min jog - avg hr 129
Wed
Very hilly 1500m loop
I’m pretty sure previous best is like 4min45sec
Today - 4min 34sec
Heart rate only got to 163, so jogged off straight away.
