1/4 1/2 1/4 routine

Last training session before the Prestwold 10k on Sunday.

4 x 1/4 mile, 2 x 1/2 mile, 4 x 1/4 mile intervals. Pleased with results 8:48 pace which is good for me. Will now be resting up to Sunday.

Feel I have given the specific 10k training a good go. Target has always been to do a 10K under the hour, the target is the same again. The one thing that still might blight things is I never run so well in the AM as I do in the PM. Some do some dont.

Last year was very hot, forecast is showers, this could be a benefit.

Bilat V02 Tuesday 3 variation

Not exactly been looking forward to this. I know it is tough from previous experience. Yet on both occasions I have exceeded target therefore within my capacity to meet it.

Target is 5x132secs at 105% vV02 (8:11 pace) with 5x132secs at 60% vV02 recovers. Actual average = 8:03 so target bettered. However, lap 1 and 3 outside of target pace. lap 2,4 and 5 well under. So need to work on consistency when operating at this intensity.

Conditions where very hot as well so overall very pleased. Hope it all comes together in the Prestwold 10K

Sunday and Monday

Sunday set out 8.30 with Jen. 7 miler mainly road then some woods then road and finish across a field. First 3 are pretty much up hill. Woods sadly only last for 1/2 - 3/4m then mildly undulating back. Temps on the increase all run and no wind to cool.

Monday set out 4.30 with Jen. 5 miler mixed terrain. Very hot and sunny. Felt I managed temps better than have done previously. Wore a white hat and had plenty fluids during the day in preparation. Seen a few rabbits while in the fields. Maintain run better in the afternoon evening than early morning.

12 miles for the week so far. V02 day Tuesday.

160 miles in the vibrams.
