Wednesday 4th of October
AM
*40 min easy running (avg.138) + strides.
PM
*5 min easy warm up running.
*5x5 min at 160 / 2 min easy running recovery / 2 min rest / 3x 50 sec fast with 1 min recovery / 3x 120 m in downward slope.
*Dark, raining, +13C and very fun run. Felt extreamly good and "floathing." The 160 pulse is an unusual area for me to work in, but I can keep a pretty good pace in it and run relaxed (it is good running - good stride, etc.) Took the 2 min recoveries for pulse to get down properly so that there would be a climb until I'm up in 160, which makes for better average pace . Recoveries should perhaps be 1 min but today the 2 min recovery ensured good speed and that felt right, today at least.

Purpose
This blog is intended as a medium for me and my friend & coach Glen Grant to keep track on my training. Anyone is welcome to comment.
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.

Sensible start. I am glad that you took so much rest. I think that after the stress of marriage, honeymoon, and all the preparation - and 4 hard weeks of running to top that - you were really burnt out. You need to get back in steadily now just uppung the mileage steadily and not looking to do anything dramatic for several weeks until you are hitting a twice aday routine of at least 40 /40 prefferably even a bit more. Last year you pushed too hard and that kept the volume too low. This year lets just run lots more miles in total (with balanced sessions inbetween)and let that routine and volume do the work for you.
