Running log for Wednesday, January 25th

9.75km at an easy pace done.

Was supposed to be 12km, but I miscalculated and had no desire to add on at the end. Well it's better than nothing.

Crossfit log for Monday, January 23rd

Started with back squats
Warm up at 125#,
1st set 5x 145#
2nd set 3x 155#
3rd set 1x 165#

Then we did Fran (21-15-9 thrusters/pull-ups)

Decided last time to go lighter to try and go unbroken, or at least aim to get closer to 6:00 than 7:00 before moving up in weight.

So I went with the Women's prescribed weight of 65#.

Still couldn't go unbroken. First 21 thruster I managed, but then got to 10 pull-up and had to drop. I was still quicker than ever before at 8:12 (more than a minute over the last time, which was 75# bar)

So I'll keep working at this weight until I get faster then bump back up to 75#. I'll eventually get to men's Rx of 95#. In time.

Another good TM session.

Kilometre repeats, had time for 3 reps with 5:00 recovery @ 5:45/km (4:36, 4:32, 4:27)

With a 10 min warm up and some kind of cool down, getting up to 5 reps will make for a long lunch, not sure how I'll pull it off...

... maybe save if for a slow day at the office.

Running log for Saturday, January 21st

Solid 16km run done.

Similar route as last time, but a longer lead up to the hills. Finished with two loops of the tenth line hill again, and again this time the second time around I felt faster and stronger. I don't get it, but I'll take it.

Finished in 1:30, so a more reasonable pace than last week. 5:40/km.

Running log for Friday, January 20th

Solid treadmill workout. Clear improvement.

Did the "Frog in a pot of boiling water" workout. At 1% incline, start at 6:00/km increase speed every 2:00 by 0.5km/h (or in my case since the TM does only 0.2 increments alternate 0.4 and 0.6 kph) made it 18:00, longer than ever before.

Went from 10.0kph to 14.0kph. (or 6:00/km to 4:17/km), then cooled down for 2:16 @ 5:10/km for an even 4km in 20:16

My current goal is to go 22min and get to 4:00/km (15kph)
