I’m in need of a nap, so this’ll be a short one.

Rainy interval session today – 5x1000m@5k pace w/90sec. rec’s.  It went like this:  4:11, 4:05, 4:08, 4:12, 4:09 (avg. pace 6:40).

I did the same workout on Feb. 10th, averaging 6:50s, with longer recoveries (2:00 as opposed to 1:30) and actually had to (gasp) walk the last two recoveries that day.  No walking today and my HR was 2% lower for the Avg and Max than it was in February, so more happy goodness all ’round.

Now it’s a week of easy runs (woohoo!) with some strides here and there because I have a 10K coming up on Sunday.  Goal?  The low side of 43:xx.   We’ll see.

Oh, I found another great plugin for Sporttracks, Training Load.  It works with your HR data, lets you put in a race date and tells you your training fatigue and fitness level as the day approaches.  Great fun for those of us who like to waste time with numbers.
