Training 01 24th JULY

Hadn't been posting........

Jolted out of bed today, felt that i had a deep slp, but the freshness wore off after a few mins.
Searched fantically for my watch, didnt want to know the time from the HP as the bright light scratches my eyes out of any more slp.

1am it read. cant be. only 90mins of slp. Had a late night, got to attend some cohesion company event. So my usual Thursday Rest day didn't work out as fine. But the 1am timing was confirmed by my HP...

Woke up again at 430am. Guess i was too excited abt my Friday interval session... Finally, the alarm rang at 530am, heavy pouring. Excuses are emerging, alternative sessions are popping up. But after 5mins of struggle, I got up and headed back to my place. ( i slp at my grandma's place when i have to wake up early for training, sharing rm with bro)

Session today:
Max Aerobic pace. 5k pace. 800m x 6, target: 75s/400m pace.
Wanted to be more efficient when doing 3:45 pace for half-mara.
Progression fr 600m session last wk, did 600 x 8, 2min rest in 1:55 pace

Ran to the kallang practice track. Slight drizzle. Not a soul in sight. lane 1 was flooded.
Rather cold, did my usual warm up and extra, changed to my spikes.
Doesnt feel gd, heavy and formless in my stridings.

Carried on with my intended training still. I told myself, "today, now, nobody wants to be you..."
But when u are up in the podium, everyone wants to be you...

Bang! virtually ran on lane 2 due to the flooding on lane1. 1st lap felt gd, then the latic kicks in. Endured and "click"! Timing read 2:32.... not bad i thought.

2nd Set was ok. By the 3rd set, i would prefer the water in my spikes rather running an extra cm.....

timing was: 2:32, 2:32, 2:35, 2:37, 2:37, 2:40. Rest in btw was 2mins. Cant do the last set. Broke it up to 400m instead.

reached home at 720am, bath, packed breakfast and left for work at 745am.

Hectic....
