BOOT CAMP 3: the end

Frankly, I didnt do much. Felt the training rather stagnant. It wasn't the big HooHa i expected where i run myself to the ground. Rather , the extra time i have are spent pondering too much.

There's the summary:

Fri - AM : 10 times shears
Pm: 15-17k tempo w Lex

Sat - AM : Easy 10k with exercises
PM: Easy 5k

Sun - AM 33k , 3loops MR
PM: Rest

Mon: AM 7k easy Pandan Res
PM: 35mins tempo

Tue: AM: lane8 x2 , 6 times

Monday was a trash session, Woke up at 730am and wanted to try something different. Took a long bus ride to Pandan res. Always go past it when I was young but never the chance to see beyond. It was 830am by the time i start my throd. The sun was unbelievable as i died after 7k. Struggled to get some water and rehydrate. Swear I saw some "light in the tunnel" vision.

Evening, met up with my bro and friend to run. I did my usual tempo. But it was more of a struggle. Didn't feel that gd. Rained afterwards. and I did more cool down in the rain. Where else in the world can you can scorched in the morning then drenched to the skin in the evening? damn.......

Tue's training , which is today, was pretty crapped. Again, it was rather warm by the time i start. Thinking that I have the extra time on my hand, I could do more reps. and I can do them faster too. I focus on the form, the push off, etc. But by the 1st rep....... god save me. I was panting n hands are cold. Not a gd sign. I immediately decided to aim for 6 reps instead. Make it a 5k training session. Suffered rather badly...........

That has happened rather frequently... more time, mentally fixed to run extremely hard, but things never really work out. Think i have accustomed to the "rush", the packed schedule. waking up at wee hrs to train , then rushin to work, exhaust myself at the workplace, then back to the track again......

Physio-wise, think the 730 - 800am timing is a hard weather to run in. Thats the hour that i will run into for the marathon too. I have to be careful about it.
