17-19 March workouts



This is the marathon week, so I planned a few of tapering, eliminating the Saturday session educing miles of all other sessions (-20-30%). But rhythms will be unchanged.

These are the first workouts of the week:

Monday rest
 

Tuesday, in program: a medium run. I still renounce to my usual workouts at anaerobic limit and chose again a marathon pace, which I perhaps too optimistically set at 4'15''/km, which would mean finishing under 3 hours! Due to tapering, training should not last long, up to 45’, which is roughly 5 laps of my measured road track. Mindful of the not easy workout of last Friday and of the hip problem that has left me, I begin a little afraid. I run relaxed and try to stay at an easy pace. At the first look at clock, after 300 meters, I see that the frequency is already up and this is a first good sign. I pass the first mark at the pace I wanted to keep, just under 4'15 '', a second good sign. So in short, today the run is easy and I can keep the marathon pace without going into trouble (while last Friday I suffered running 10'' slower respect to marathon pace). Laps pass quickly, all under 4'15'' and after 45' I feel I could even keep on if I wish or even accelerate. This has been a good workout! Confidence rises again, although there are still many doubts.

Wednesday, in plane a slow run at 136 bpm. Today, however, I’m less fresh and I make a neither bad nor good workout, in sense that at planned beats I haven’t a neither bad nor brilliant pace.

Overall, I stay out 1h15', including heating.

Until Sunday, I will train only once, on Friday, when I will make a very easy and even brief run.
