Today was my last run of week 8. Time to tell my running week!
First run: no time to recover
I started my week on Tuesday with a fartlek training. I found it strange to do a training like that just two days after my test race on 10K. It was not really a race but it's almost the same effort (or even more because I ran alone). I respected the plan and did my session. I felt in my legs that I did a hard run recently but despite that everything was alright.
I don't know if I will do the test race on 15K next week. It seems to close from my last test race and also too close to my real race at the end of May. Some recommandations fellow runners? @toofasteddie maybe? Or some authors of the @runningproject?
This fartlek consisted of 30' of warm-up, 2 series of 8x(40"/40") with 4' of rest between the series and 10' of cool down.
Second run: endurance run
My second run of the week (on Friday) was my endurance run. I had zero motivation and my legs was hurting me again. So I decided to do only 45' instead of 60'.
Third run: hard interval training
Today was my last run with a hard interval training. I was afraid to not be able to do it correctly after a big party last night. But despite only 4.5 hours of sleep and a lot of beers, I was full of energy. I can't explain it but it felt easy to maintain the pace at each repetition.
Here is my session: 30' of warm-up (I only did 25'), 5x6' at 4'/km pace with 2'30" of rest, 10' of cool down. It was obviously a long session and I did more than 15 km in total.
Even tough I cut my endurance run a little, it was a big week with 36 km in 2h53 in total.
