This week started pretty bad. I was not feeling too well on Sunday afternoon but despite the nausea I ate a lot of pizza for dinner. 30 minutes later I was regretting it big time. I spent half the night in the toilet and then Monday I was KO and spent most of the day sleeping. A real shame as last week’s 80+ km<\/a> were something I really wanted to build on.<\/p>\n

Tuesday obviously I did not run as I was still not 100% fit.
\nWednesday I wanted to do the 1 mile test as suggested by the plan in The Cool Impossible. I went out even if I was still a bit weak and after 5k or so of warm up I tried to do 1 mile as fast as I could. Disaster. Last summer<\/a> before starting this training regime I did the 1 mile in 5:22. This time it took me 5:37<\/a>.
\nI then ran back home sad and beaten. I was so weak that I really struggled on the last 2k. The fog was coming up but it felt like my eyes were getting foggy and I was going to faint. Not a nice situation to be in.
\nI then took two decisions. The first was to ignore this 1 mile test and the second was to rest a bit and only run again on Saturday.
\nI though that there was no point in doing the 20 minutes test either. It would not have been indicative.<\/p>\n

I decided to do the Bushy Parkrun<\/a> on Saturday. I went to do it with my brother in law who was visiting us for the week end and I wanted to show him all the nice places I run in and how friendly the parkrun people are.
\nWe warmed up for 2k and I then did the race. I like parkruns. I don’t do them often as on Saturday I prefer to do a long run, but if there is a good occasion I do one.
\nMy previous PB was 18:30. I am glad to say I smashed it by 20 seconds<\/a>! I really gave it all I could and finished 13th overall (3rd in my category).
\nWe then ran back home via the river, 7.5 more kms<\/a>, slowly recovering from the speedy 5k.<\/p>\n

Not much running this week but with a new 5k PB I cannot complain.<\/p>\n

I decided to use those 18:10 as my 20 minutes test. Last time I did it I had an average of 159\u00a0BPM<\/a>. This time 171 BMP! A lot more. I always thought that the first test did not come out well and the resulting heart zones were too low. That’s why\u00a0I tweaked them a bit. This time the heart zones are more interesting and I am sure come next week the second part of The Cool Impossible training will see me running a lot faster!<\/p>\n

The marathons are getting closer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
