Training - What Training?!

Bike. VO2.

Got through 3/6 sets, ran out of time. I’ve given up trying to get quality bike sessions in when travelling, so tried to squeeze it in early but was slow to get going.

Technogym treadmill trying to kill me again.

Touchscreens and sweaty runners are a lethal combination, as not matter how hard I try to keep the screen dry, drops still make it on there and render the screen inactive

Today it decided on one rep to suddenly go into a 3% decline

So,

14 x 1:00 on / 1:00 off @ 10 mph, plus 1 x 2:00 @ 10mph -3%

Marathon? Target?

I got out and did 10k in pissing freezing rain today. Those runs should count double.

Continuing to tackle my weaknesses - anything above Z2 and hills

6 x 2:00 on the Technomill 5% 7mph (tried a 7th but only managed 1:36)
8 mins @ 10km pace - 8.4mph

For a normal human those hill reps would be nothing, but I am dying about 90 seconds in

Didn’t get into London, tried to enter Manchester but was too late.

I’m kind of doing some Marathon training as I like the process. I might do a half off it.

The 85% in the session I posted is 85% of 5km pace (not speed) and tends to be about Marathon pace or a touch faster .
Or to put it another way the range of 83-85% of 5km normally ends up being Marathon pace, assuming the the rest of the training is done, long runs etc.

Have you honed in on a target pace or is it still a bit to early to tell?

Not sure yet tbh. Think I’m not quite where I’d want to be yet - 5m/km / 3h30. I ran a 10 mile race in 1h12.xx so 4.29m/km but was blown at that point.

I’m still over weight by 4-5kg for where I run well, so that needs a bit of attention. But overall, my long runs are going well and I’m ahead of schedule for those, if slightly behind on overall weekly. distance.

I trust that the weekly distance and the long run distance gets me into a good place. Just got 8-9 weeks to really nail it and will be ok.
