More or less the same story today. It was raining and Tine was tired so I went out on my own. First 2Km warm up and then 9560 meters with a max pulse of 150. Actually I’m starting to enjoy running in this kind of weather, raining and 16dg C. I don’t need suntan lotion and I’m not getting too hot while running !
Yet again I did a great speed of 4:52 minutes/Km and I guess it might be because of the cold weather.
Tine didn’t feel like running today, it was raining and she was tired, so I started with a 13 minutes (2Km) warm-up and then went for my 8720 meters with a max pulse of 150. It went surprising well and very easy today in spite of I was rather tired. Took 42 minutes and 30 seconds which gives an average speed of 4:52 minutes/Km - the best speed this year with the pulse below 150 !
Yes my plan was to go to the park and run but as it was raining rather bad I decided to just run my normal route and run the same length as Tuesday.
Today Tine and I ran 26 minutes as she added one minute more compared to Tuesday. I guess this mean that we will soon be running 30 minutes again….
Then I did my 5540 meters at a high pace as I was allowed a max pulse of 175. I must admit it was hard, very hard indeed but it paid off with the fastest pace this year…. 4:19 minutes/Km - wow !
No I didn’t go to the park today but I ran where I usual do. This is because I’m so far with my own program that I’m able to run 8.33Km in the park every Sunday now. Starting this Sunday will do 5 laps (8.33Km) in my low pace and then slowly run a little faster every week. This is perfect for 2 reasons.
Some years ago I did this park race every month and I’m looking forward to do it again. It’s a very down to each race and everyone are welcome no matter how fast or slow they run. The hole idea with the race isn’t to get fast runners but to get as many people to run on a regular basis and enjoy running.
Ok, the recovery week are over so now it’s time to run a bit longer every week for the next 4 weeks.
Today Tine and I went out for 25 minutes in her pace. She is slowly pushing herself to run a little longer without overdoing it and I think it’s a good plan.
After running with Tine I went out on my own, this time 8720 meters in my standard low pace. It went very well and with an average speed of 4:55 minutes/Km I’m very happy !
Tine was ready to run again today, so we did 24 minutes together in her pace and then I went out on my own 7960 meters. I was a little slower than last Tuesday so I ended with a speed of 4:57 minutes/Km but as always I’m very happy everytime I break the 5:00 time.
