Today I completed my planned key run session that was integrated into The Wammy Parkrun. The session consisted of: Warm up and drills, 5k Parkrun as over 5k race effort/under 5k race effort, alternating 1k reps. Then finish with a 3k tempo run home.
I wasn’t feeling fresh, following a busy work week and broken training routine. But I wanted a key session in the bag, if only to feel better mentally. The 5k over/under set went well I think.
I would have liked the over reps to be closer to 3:30 pace but not to be today. I got held up as we approached the dead turn too. But the differential between effort levels worked out ok seeing as I did this on feel without clock watching. Plus I felt strong on the last 1k and recovered quickly to start the tempo 3k.
This tempo effort felt ok and smooth. The New Balance Fuelcell Elite trainers felt good; maybe not as snappy as the Nike Alphafly or Vaporfly but a fun shoe to run in that doesn’t mash the legs up.
The plan is for a L2 endurance ride tomorrow on Zwift as the weather looks pants again. I’d like to get a track session in on Wednesday too.
