5kTempo run + 200s repeats

Yesterday I had planned my tempo run for the week. The plan was to run 5k in 25:40s -25:50s and after that do 4 x 200m fast.

I met with my brother at 6:50 p.m. in the Turia park, and I warmed up 1 mile before starting the tempo. On the tempo run I feel pretty good, but got a bit frustrated when a lot of youngster passed me, I am competive so that bothered me, but anyway, I had to run at my own pace and that is discipline.

Overall I felt pretty good and did a negative Split. Finished the 5k in 25:41 with splits per km of 5:10, 5:13 (10:23), halfway in 12:57, 3rd km in 5:07 (15:31), 5:05 (20:36), 5:05 (25:41). After the 5k tempo I did not stop, I jogged 200m easy and then started my 200s right away.

Honestly I felt uncoordinated on the 200s, I had ingrained the tempo pace and legs felt a bit tight, but it was nice to battle through that and get the job done, so 4 x 200s with 200s easy jog in between in 47,47,47,46. In the last one I really pushed in the last 100m without losing good form, but I just could not do the 44 I was hoping to run. Anyway, I think that is a solid workout and I accomplish the purpose of the workout and the time goal, so nothing to complain about.

The weather was pretty nice. Did 1 mile to cool down . 9.6k total.

Today I rest, but I have read that on Thursday a storm is coming, so I have not decided if I ll move the rest day till tomorrow, or Will rest today. We Will see.

Happy with my progress in the last 6 weeks!

Have a great Humpday!
