Short run to get the legs going and to try to tire out Paddy the Irish mutt, since I'm working most of the afternoon and early evening. Boy, do I dislike flat tarmac, even if it was through a forest and the help of System of A Down and their Toxicity album. Finished off with a bit of TRX and Rope Flow.

Easter training at the running club. We did a team challenge (ladder, through a hoop, skipping, over obstacles, through the sandpit and under a stick (at 1.50 m), but all the time holding a spoon with an egg on it 🤣. Dropping the egg meant 2 burpees for the whole team.
After that it was 6x800m at 5.00 /km, 30 secs of rest in between.

Today’s run was 110 easy minutes with lots of walking to stay in Z2. Always the first fitness to lose and the longest to get back.

Nice temps, but humidity is creeping up. Dew point was at 55°, up 20° from last week. Another month and a dew point of 55° will feel *dry*.

Parkrun 52 done. Huge PB 🎉

Inspired by last week's feeling and recent training, I decided to give it what I believe kids today would call a "full send".

21:16, 26s faster than my previous PB.
Also nice to set my PB at my home run; makes the recent mini-PB-set-at-a-faster-course feel like less of a fluke.
Next PB attempt might be back at a flat course, though.

Continued thread

I've done the supra-threshold intervals many times and have plenty of them scheduled in the coming weeks as I prepare for Chicago.

The supra-threshold workout is probably harder than the "Fast Lane" progressive repeats. However, I don't run at power greater than 108% CP unless I'm doing a CP test. I could use the work at those higher efforts.

Do I stick with the plan and run the supra-threshold intervals, or change things up and run the progressive repeats?

2/2

For those who are runners, I want your opinion.

Tomorrow I have a supra-threshold workout scheduled:

4×5' @ 102-105% CP off 2:45

This is a standard workout part of Steve Palladino's marathon training plan.

However, Stryd does a Workout of the Week, which is "Fast Lane" for this week. It's a set of progressive repeats:

2×(
800m @ 92-97% CP off 400m,
600m @ 97-102% CP off 200m,
400m @ 103-108% CP off 200m,
200m @ 110-115% CP off 400m
)
