Same protocol as last Sunday. Felt harder, so I guess fitness is declining 😅 Either way, good to get it done. One hour of lifting afterwards. Another perfectly decent week, all told. For a retired runner, anyways.

First run that's felt decent in about a month's time. That's something! Late to the party with the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3, but good shoe to have in the stable. Not the fastest, but feels like it can handle more than just workouts. One our lifting afterwards 🏋️😅 🎶 Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak.

Brutal in the wind. Was struggling hard to maintain 4 min/km pace going into the wind on the flats. No chance of making up for it going up and down without the headwind, so splits not exactly on target. 9-10 hours of sleep did wonder, though. Wind aside, felt alright. 12 km and 45:27 of totalt work. Average pace of 3:47/km. Around marathon effort based on heart rate, but felt harder. 500 ml (one pack) of Maurten 160 in the hour before the workout, and two gels 100 during the back halves of reps 1 and 3. A little bloated, but no problems.

A little sore, but no drama. Had no new podcast episodes to entertain me, so spent the run thinking about my framework for marathon training. It has three phases 1. Preparation 2. Overload 3. Consolidation Tried to come up with some concrete guidelines for identifying what you should focus on in each phase based on your background, current fitness and available time to train. I should put it into prose sometime.

First good session in a while. Wanted to hit 3:45 to 3:40 pace, and had no problem doing it. Quite windy with 6-7% Air Power for the windiest kilometres, but decent direction with headwind on the downhills and tailwind uphill. From 11:15 to 10:54, for a total work time of 44:22 with an average pace of 3:41. 500 ml of Maurten 160 from warm up to cool down. No problems.

My oh my. Need many things to go right the next 11 weeks for a hope of improving my marathon PB. Not least of all nutrition. Had to stop and walk a couple of kilometres to avoid shitting my pants. And no less than three more toilet breaks after that! Need to tweak and tune everything, but one thing is crystal clear: Caffeine is off the table, during the race, and in the last two-three hours leading into it. Stomach just can't handle working on it while running. Other than that, I need at least 2h 30min long runs each week for the next eight weeks. I'm a long, long way off the requisite muscular endurance to convert my general fitness to the marathon. Lastly, based on today, my right bottom-of-calf/top-of-Achilles is not entirely well. Very, very stiff towards the end, and now afterwards. No room at all for that to cause trouble. Now, time to watch Berlin and cheer from afar! 🏃‍♂️🏃🏾‍♀️

Felt better today than yesterday, despite an awful last night. Did I steer clear? We'll see the next couple of days. Otherwise out there investigating a possible new workout location. Half the loop around the field has been sawdusted to make a path. Nothing on the other half, so need to get in some laps to make a proper path. But the grass is being cut, so no biggie. Already a good option for some faster work on soft ground!

Shitshow. Forgot to unpause before the first rep, so that wasn't logged. Don't know why I even paused in the first place. Otherwise felt crap, and was short on time so had to skip the last two reps. Ran without looking at pace/stopwatch, so entirely by HR/feel. 3:44 and 3:47 for two and three, then dialled into 3:43s for the last five reps. Who knows what the first one was!

Three years and 12,560 kilometres of running after my best ever performance in an official race (34:11 10k, VDOT 62.4) I'm –almost– racing at the same level (1:15:39 10k, VDOT 62.3).

Official time 1:15:39. PB, but let’s be honest, a little disappointed with that. Really thought that four months of solid, uninterrupted training would get me in better shape. But it is what it is! Don’t have a single excuse to blame it on. Good course, excellent conditions, solid packs, and all around good vibes. Paced it perfectly to 15k, but just didn’t have anything to burn from there and home, and instead faded a little the last 3k or so.

With two times 600, 400, 200 to try and hone in on goal race pace. Felt shit and more like 5k pace than half marathon pace!

First six around presumed half marathon pace, last two a bit quicker. Breathing a little laboured, and heart rate very high. But felt fairly good otherwise, and had no problems cranking it up a bit after the first six.

First two ish hours on the treadmill, watching the marathon world champs. Total distance (Stryd) 33.62 km, but Strava defaults to GPS it seems. Will have to do an add up.

Nike Vaporfly 3 vs Adidas Adios Pro 3. AP3 on reps 1, 3, and 5, VF3 on reps 2 and 4. Two faster 400s to close out, with the first one in AP3 in 73 sec, and the last one in VF3 in 70 sec. Undecided on who comes out on top here. The Adios Pro 3 has a tighter fit and is more cushioned in the forefoot. The Vaporfly 3 is lighter, softer, and has a more breathable upper. I really enjoy the generously cushioned forefoot feel in the Adios. And the snugger fit of the upper. But somehow it feels like I’m working ever so slightly harder to maintain pace compared to the Vaporfly 🤔 Maybe it’s the lower weight? I honestly don’t know. Either way, I feel like the extra cushion of the Adios Pro 3 could come in handy in a marathon, but I’m also absolutely certain that the lower weight of the Vaporfly 3 does matter over 42.2 kilometres. It’s a coin toss, really.

Same lap twice for each rep. GPS way off on the counterclockwise reps, but almost even splits with 7:55, 58, 55, 56, 57 for each rep. Roughly 3:40 pace/km or thereabouts, and felt like around marathon effort on tired legs. With [strava://athletes/51000878/11]Simon Vogel up front setting the pace. He’ll regret that in a couple weeks when I smash his half PB. Adios Pro 3 feeling much better than on the first run. No chafing this time around, and Lightstrike Pro starting to come to life. It’s a contender.

Another OK week in the bank. Got off on shaky ground, and missed a workout. But got the rest of it done, and kept the mileage around what was planned. Two weeks until Drammen half.
