Trainings 32: Nov 13

Thurs AM: REST
PM: 1.3km x 10 , 88s/400m pace, rest 40s

Wasn't that fresh despite the rest.
Not slping that well, giving in to family time to catch some tv dramas together.
Perhaps also due to our latter than norm trainings on tue.
Need some time to "settle down" before heading to bed.

Weather was great, cool and just after the rain.
The basis of this session:

marathon timing = (half mara x 2) + 8-10mins

Therefore if i am targeting a 2:45 marathon, my half mara shld be 78.5 mins, 1hr 18mins

So this session's pace would be aiming at half mara, since with rest in btw and doing a shorter distance, i shld be able to do them faster...

Hence, the target is 88s/400m, that would be 1hr 17mins for half mara.

initially, 88s doesnt sound that difficulty..........
but it is something that i hadnt really been doing. most of my intervals are ran at max efforts, or as hard as i could ,etc. Seldom had I attempted such high volume work.

This is a pacing / LT session to let my body adapt to the strains.

Target was initially 15km, but at the end of it, felt really tired. my 88s felt like a 76s effort.
Steven was great to be around to pace me. he was doing 1.2k jogging 100m ahead in 1min.
So my rest time was reduced to 40s.

The first few reps felt surprisingly tough. Not sure why. Perhaps really not used to it.
Patience........
Then i felt gd again and i felt tired again. I feel the emotions ride akin to a race.

Its a gd session, tougher than i thought. Did another 9 laps of jogging cool down on the grass.
Could have covered up to 20km in this session.
Great dinner at home waiting for me, but the tom yam milky fish soup didnt really sit well in my tummy thru the night.....

Fri AM: 10k easy
PM: 30 lap swim, jog home.

woke up feeling ok. dragged myself to throd through 10k on the grass.
caught in the rain half way through. it was refreshing and welcomed.
How much i could have done if my working hours are at 9am instead.
I can increase the duration and add in the KMs....

Late conference call tonight at 2am. Argghhh.....
