Going to the gym today with my son ππ»- he has been using the machines for strength training until now. But today weβre going to swap a few of them with free weights πͺπΌ
Itβs been far too long since I have trained with him. Months on end. But thatβs how he prefers it; training alone. He has been super super consistent since he started; 3 times per week full body. Only disturbed 2-3 weeks due to illness. And IIRC only missing a single session ish. So very proud dad, here π€©
| Tempo run | 3-2-1 π |
3-2-1 as in 3K fastish, then 2K faster, then 1K fast. A Runna tempo workout ππ». 180s rest between first intervals - then 120s rest (.. then 60s plus cool down). The icey/snowy layer on the road made it at bit tougher to get effective traction β¦ but I hit the target paces despite this, so Iβm quite happy with it.
The intensity volume may be lower this deload week - but the workouts I feel are still pretty tough. Ready to rest now ποΏΌ
Trail run ππ½
Snow is back βοΈ. Really nice run in the forest π³ (/plantation) area. Peaceful and calm. Slightly windy at the roads to/from though π
Intervals οΏΌ
π₯10 x 400m, with 1 minute restπ₯
The last 3(-4) ones were challenging π. After the first 2 reps I concluded I had to drop pace a bit in order to make it to the 10th rep.

This workout was also (you guessed it?) planned by Runna as part of my marathon prep. I think it wonderfully puts me at my current limits.

14K Run
My Novablast shoes still feels like running on clouds. Super bouncy happy dolphin π¬ foam πππ». Particularly something I notice at the start of the run. Then my tired legs still tell me they are there.
Deload week: I have a Runna prescribed Deload week now. Itβs been a while since last time. I think my recovery processes will enjoy οΏΌππ». I will still run a bit more than the marathon program says β¦ but not much.
26K Progressive Repeat Long Run
Runna session: 7.5K easy. Then 2 x (4K fresh + 3.5K fresher). Then 3.5K easy.
Structured sessions like this makes long runs fly by fast mentally. I really enjoy them.
Progressive Tempo Run
Today was my tempo run day. Another great Runna session: 4 x 2K at progressively faster paces.
The last kilometer was challenging. I did also stay at the ambitious end of my pace targets throughout β¦so perhaps thatβs part of it (producing more lactate than I could have gotten away with).
I had a 3K easy run up to the start of the session. So a total of 15K today.

15K Treadmill run ππ»ββοΈ
Went indoor yesterday afternoon - treadmill. But in the middle of the run the Campus fire alarm went off β¦ false alarm β¦ so the run got done in two parts ππ»
