#32 – 50 runs in 100 days – Hardcore edition

Today I started with intervals at the gym, did  Krutgubbens (The powder man’s intervals) intervals. Earlier it has been about pace but now I am going to make this pulse based so the pulse couldn’t go over my treshold pulse.

The original plan was the following

During the warm up I was already at 155 and at the end 157 so the plan would probably change.

During the first interval I got over 160 which is my threshold pulse so I had to reduce the pace.

On my second interval I increased the pace to 5.40 but had to reduce it again and decided from now on that I increase the pace to 5.50 on every interval and see if I can increase the pace after a while. At the end of each interval I had to reduce the pace.

I think that Saturday’s 7K struggling with upwind got me very tired legs so it did not go as planned but I did intervals. I will keep working on this interval training. Hopefully it will go as planned next time.

After that it was the gym with triceps, biceps, hips stability, legs, hip strengthening, calves and core
