Thursday 9th of November

AM
*40 min easy running (avg.144).

PM
*25 min easy running.
*Some very easy strides (afraid to do anything that might damage hamstring)l.
*18x 400 m / 100 m jog.
*Easy circuits (mainly some push ups & sit ups).
*20 min easy running (some of it barefoot).


*ALL 400:s went in 75-76 and all jogs around 42-45. No problem with this session at all (in coping with load - hamstrind got more sore for each rep - but not seriously). Pulse went into 186+ after 14th but I had no problem recovering in between, hard aerobic work started with the 14th - not before that, it was comfortable. Pulse was otherwise fairly low all the way ´till 10th, then it started approaching or getting up on threshold for real, but only the last 100 meters of a rep - and not badly taxing.
*Good feeling. Speed, of course, nothing to write home about but OK and faster than last time I did this, which was the 21st of October. I did all reps with a good bouncy stride - this might have been one of the most elegant, runningwise, sessions I've ever done (arching of back, on toes, etc.).
*Because of hamstring I'm not going to do anything except milage until Tuesday and Coopertest. It's not badly sore, and I don't feel any soreness now as I'm writing, but I'm not going to risk any real damage by doing a fast session on Saturday.
*This week has been good for me mentally. I'm itching to go out running doing milage (even if I will rest Friday morning - I want to add a couple of more hours of rest to my hamstring.).
