Trainings 39: 30 Nov

Hadnt been updating. It has a been a great long wkend. Catching up slp n mileage.

Wed: AM: 1 hr easy
: PM: 30 lap swim + 20mins jog home

Was rather tired on Wed after tue's session.
Seems the "anaerobic burn" took more than i expected.
Rather reluctantly dragged myself for the swim in the evening.
But the session turned out fine.

Thurs: REST. (finally)

Fri: Long RUN: 2hrs continous, 30mins hills, 20-30mins cool down jog home.

Seems that I enjoy planning my 3hr run "attack" as per the last 2 wkends.
This time around, i decided to combine it with my hill session.
Doing my last long run on friday allows me more time for recovery.
Discovered that I need plenty of slp after that, usually the Sun - Mon rountine leaves me drained.
With the Long Wkend holiday, prefect timing.
2hrs run at steady effort is to get used to running at the same momentum for long periods.
Thereafter, when the legs are screaming for rest, I will hit myself with some hills.
Isn't that perfect training? To push urself when legs are drained, specific to marathon running.

Start from home, 10mins warm up, jog towards ECP first, U turn after 20mins, then ran the last 10km of the marathon route. Did another loop and ran part of the starting portion of the route.
End up at the Republic avenue hill in 2hrs.

Washed up slightly before hitting the hills. The temp that morning was high, getting dehydrated.
I had hid my bottle of water in here n there, so it has been an hour before i had anything to drink.
Tried Hammer's latte drink..... rather interesting. Seems to have starbucks on the run for me.

Did about 9 reps of hills. felt ok and gd. But on the way back , got into a dizzy spell.
Think the heat had gotten into me. Drank plenty of water and slowed down to a throd.

It has been a gd effort, finishing probably 30-35km of running at its only 9am!!!!!
The whole day ahead was great.

PM was a slow swim of 20 laps to cool myself down. Water isnt as cool as i hope to be.

Sat: AM: GYM with Bro
PM: 10.5k jog at MacRitchie

GYM was ok in the morning. Legs strained.
Discovered a great 3.80 sgd hair cut centre. Amazin price and quality.

PM was the MR25 social event. found it weird to head to MR and not run.
So i incorporated my run with the dinner.
Luckily i did as it started late. So after my run, it was perfect timing.
Ate abit too much.... carbo loading a week early? haha..

Now weight is at late 67kg. Didnt meet my target of 65kg.

Sunday: AM: 30lap swim + 10k jog
PM: 5k jog + exercises + strides.

Wanted to go for a long slow session in the morning.
gulit riden about my "carbo loading session" in the evening.
It was a nice effort. Comfortable.

PM, woke up from a "power nap". Weather was great indoors.
Lots of wind and rather cooling. So i was fooled to start my evening session earlier.
Headed to the track at 4pm. It was burning. No sun soccer sch kids to entertain me.
Jogged on the grass for 10laps, did some drills, then my strides.
About an hour before i reach home.
