Some lovely Autumn colours where I ran today.
....and no mistakes in the session, I hope!
Which was: 10 minutes (I did 2km) slow jog warm-up. Stretches.
5km on flat road @ 85%+ of Max. HR...a bit harder than Day 1, but not race pace.
Brisk walk 3km back to soccer field for stretches...lying in the sun on the warm grass watching the clouds roll by...should do this more often.....lie in the sun watching the clouds that is!
The road wasn't flat; had a couple of inclines - 1 of which was long (hardly see it except when running!) & the other short - I found the 5km (3km out & 2km return) fairly hard, especially the last 2km into a strong headwind; pleased to finish at 5km & not have another 5 to do!!
5km Time = 33.00.5
1km Splists = 6:00.0; 6:47.2; 6:21.6; 6:39.2; 7:12.5
Avg. HR = 85%
Max. HR = 90-95%
....and tomorrow is another day for Chickybabe!
Loved the pics LL, whilst visiting Canberra during Easter I was reminded of the beautiful red, yellow & orange trees lines.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting seeing how this change of training will sit with you in the longer turn. I'm sure Ewen will be very aware of making slight changes with your style of sessions. All the best and I look forward to many great posts.

Autumn is a beautiful season!
ReplyDeleteDay 3:
Comprehension 95%.
Execution 89% (1st km a bit quick).
What stunning photos and what a beautiful place you have to run. Good luck with your new training program. You have a fantastic coach!
ReplyDeleteI can't recall you saying what your goal is with the new training regime.
ReplyDeleteI guess increased English Comprehension skills is one. It is certainly an undervalued side effect of a Ewen training program.
Lovely pics LL. What a great idea, lying on the warm grass watching the clouds. Wonder what would happen if we tried that in the city.
