Run 21 & 22

Well I have been a little a little slack with the blogging. Well kind of. Last night I went to interval training for run 21 and then this morning I went for a 12k run. I have been busy at work this week. So having to get into work early and get stuff done there. Hence no time in the morning for blog.

But now I have a bit of time. Last nights interval training was good. I feel I am improving quite a bit. Getting faster and being able to keep my breath easier. So I am happy. We ran last night up at Sognsvann where all interval training takes place in the summer. It was a nice overcast type evening. Temperature was pretty good.

We had our warm up run first and then into 7, 4 minute intervals with 2minutes rest in between. I was feeling really good, I think because I biked up to Sognsvann this time it helped save my energy for the intervals. Anyway it was a good interval session.

Run 22 was this morning and I ran 12km up to sognsvann and around the lake and then back home. I was feeling very tired this morning. I think the interval training at night and then running in the morning is a lot for the body. I got to bed at a reasonable hour of 11ish but it was not enough to feel slow in the morning.

I was struggling from the first few footsteps. The run up the hill to the lake was very slow. I was not able to keep up my 12kph average I was wanting. Around the lake was when I started to pick up speed and it started raining, but the lake was pretty calm.

Then on the way back down to home I picked up the speed a bit on the downhills, and was not feeling to bad. Maybe it takes a bit to wake up. Though the body is feeling pretty saw today, wel not really saw just drained.

Stats:

start: 7.16am

distance: 12.43 km

time: 1:00'17"

Av Speed: 12.37 kph

So in the end the stats ended up alright. I got the 12kph average and it was a decent distance to run as well in the morning.

Cheers
