Tuesday 20th of June
AM
*10 min easy running.
*6x 1 min on / 1 min off.
*10 min easy running.
*5x 100 m (downhill).
PM
*10 min easy running.
*Strides.
*2x (1x 350 m / 3 min /150 m) 15 min: 46.5 / 18.5 / 46.5 / 18.5.
*1x 150 m. 18.2.
*10 min jog.
*This was the hardest (to do) morning session so far. It's hard to meassure if I'm progressing (I know - this ain't been going on many days yet) - but it feels like I can push a little more out of each rep now. Hard to say which is worse - 1 min or 45 sec, in the 45 sec the rest is very short and it's more intense, but in the 1 min reps it's increasingly difficult to run after 40 secs... Yes - but I quite enjoy this training rhythm - it's short and fast and leaves me feeling I'm really doing something to my body in a new way - I'm not burning fat - I'm sugar burning and going lactate.
*Good PM session with Turun Toverits Kalle Mykrä (a 22.18 200 m guy) - it's good to run with someone faster - and this was a pretty fast session (for my standards). I was running with better technique, except the first 350 which was confused. Had no problem recovering between reps.

About Me
End of season block
Focus: To finish the summer with a final spell of hard lactate tolerance & speed endurance work - and racing a couple of track races (and several road races) in order to get at least one decent result on 800 m this summer. So far only 2:02, I want to see a sub 2:00 time before winter begins.

Good
I am glad that you feel the pressure. Time for a slight change in the stresses now. After a short easy running rest period of 1-2 days i want you to do a session with much longer rests. Do these on the road. Find a flat stretch and then free run fast until stress. At 1500 pace jog back and at 800 pace walk slowly back. Stretch the runs out as far as you can. The runs will get shorter as the session progresses. You can do multi pace sessions getting faster or single pace throughout. Try both types and see how they go.
Then do the same type of free run session on the road/tracks with hills but start running again as soon as you recover enough to feel like trying again, A simple guige is when the watch hits 120 for 800m work and 140 for 1500m work but this is not a rule. Run until you simply no longer get recovery and then stop and jog home. After a block of these sessions rest and come back to the current sessions again. Do the sprint sessions where they fall. make sure that you do not spoil them by being too tired from the morning session. G
