weight:62.6kg

Leg stretch with doggie outing early

Running (Trail) 1:16:48 intensity: (16:48 @1) + (50:00 @2) + (10:00 @3) 14.51 km (5:18 / km) +230m 4:54 / km
ahr:139 max:157

Weekly long run extended with a pure trail run in Elm Creek park and a comfortable wayfinding pace- HR no more than 130 for first half hour. Less humid than last week so effort felt less. Was aiming for 70 mins and in the end finished back at car in hour and a quarter ish with about 9 miles under the belt. Splits were:
6k 32:31
6k 31:48
2.51k 12:29
Moving pretty well after yesterdays w/o and was able to up the pace at the end from 5:20 m/k to just under 5 with best around 4 m/k.

Saturday Sep 1, 2012 #

Jogging warm up/down 14:00 [1] 2.4 km (5:50 / km)

Before track with drills, stretching and 4x100 strides

Track intervals 5:31 intensity: (2:31 @3) + (3:00 @4) 1.8 km (3:04 / km)
max:164

A change is as good as a holiday, so back to speed and a redo of the May 200/400/600/400/200 ladder. Aimed for 800-1500 pace ie hard with 1 min, 2 min, 3min and 2 min recoveries between. Went as follows:
34.8
1:13.4
1:57.1
1:13.2
33.4
The 600/400 combo was mentally tough. Recoveries stretched by 15 sec for last 2 with HR back to 110-115. Max HR just above threshold so working hard enough. Solid workout and faster than May which was pleasing. Apparently prevailing wisdom is to maintain speed work thought year, albeit with cyclic breaks to avoid burnout or injury.

Walking warm up/down 9:00 [1] 1.0 km (9:00 / km)

Easing down afterwards

Walking 27:00 [0] 2.5 km (10:48 / km)

Warm but pleasant at sundown

Jogging (Trail) 28:54 intensity: (14:00 @1) + (14:54 @2) 5.4 km (5:21 / km) +65m 5:03 / km
ahr:131 max:144

Twilight run on XC trails, too late and no energy for threshold, so just a mellow cruise through the glades.
