Night Tempo run

I was suppossed to run this morning, but I slept in. I ran after work and thought about moving my tempo run to tomorrow since I went out pretty late from work, I did not get out to run till 7:30 p.m. one of the latest run that I have done ever, but I was determined to run no matter what, I still had in mind to do the tempo run (was thinking of 2 x 2 laps in the conservatory), when I warmed up around 15 mins, I went out to do 4k continious tempo run( 4 laps to the conservatory), were in 4:55,4:51,4:55,4:56 for a total of 19:38 for 4k. One of my slowest tempo runs ever, but I felt the effort and it was no easy feat, I could feel the work on every lap. I am out of shape but at least I am working the systems that will improve my fitness. did 2.2k warm up and cool down for a total of 8.5k. The weather was pretty hot even at night!! I was soaking a the end! Have a great night!

Morning recovery run

Yesterday I took the day off. That was a planned rest. Today is a public holiday so I slept in a bit before my run. At 8:45 a.m. or so I headed to the conservatory without a watch to do a recovery run, since I want to do my first tempo in long months tomorrow. Did 6 laps in the conservatory feeling fresh and strong,although a bit thristy at the end. The weather was cloudy but a bit hot. Happy to have run as always!! 8.5k total untimed.

Afterwork short intervals

Today I had planned to do a light workout to estimulate a bit the system. After work at 6:40 p.m. I went out again to the conservatory and warmed up 17+ mins, then did 6 x 1 mins at a hard effort, with 1 min rest, then the rest was cool down, in total I did 8.5k in 48:27. During the repeats I felt good and with good form, but the breathing was pretty labored by the last one. I was happy with the effort and with the way I felt there. The laps passed by pretty quicky since you focus on the fast portions. Very good short workout. The last 2 days the weather has been pretty good since both are rainy days, fortunately no rain when I went out, a pretty great breeze and fresh air. Have a great Night!

Awesome after work run

The consistency continue... Today I ran after work since in the morning I slept in. As soon as I got home from work at 6:45 pm. I went out to the conservatory and started pretty easy, I was feeling pretty fresh but not that strong, that changed when I got in the conservatory, I started feeling better and better and I felt effortless and each lap was faster than the last, I felt awesome and added one lap to my planned 5 laps, did 6 laps in 5:54,5.48,5:39,5:45,5:35 and dont know the last one, but I was feeling effortless out there and the legs felt fresh all the way, finished the 8.5k in 48:48. Love days like this when you run faster and faster and the effort is easier each mile!

Birthday and mother´s day dawn run

This morning was up at 6:20 a.m. and out at 7 a.m. to the conservatory alone. Went out without my watch because I have been feeling tired in the last few days, wanted to get the run in without worrying about times, given my fitness that does not matter much now. I did 5 laps to the conservatory and did a total of 7.5k untimed. Started feeling tired and huffing and puffing when I climbled the hardest hill of the route, that is within the first 500s of most of my runs. At the end felt better and better, wanted to run more, but I am playing it safe since I want to do 6 runs next week. Today I turn 25, wow time goes by fast quickly! Happy birthday to me and my twin brother Danilo. Today is mother´s day also! Happy mother´s day mom I ll always love you and remember you!! Have a great day all!

Dawn run

Today I was up at 5:30 a.m. and was out alone at 6:05 a.m. went out to the conservatory feeling a bit tired and huffing and puffing, then I felt better and better and did 5 laps in the conservatory 6:04,5:52,5:52,5:43,5:33 and finished the 7.5k @ 43:32, finished feeling pretty good. Glad I woke up to run!! Have a great Saturday!

Finally running predawn

The past 2 days I left the run for the afternoon, both days did not happen. I kind of go from work a bit tired and lazy. I was determined to run in the morning today because I need to get back to action and beat some old guys there. This morning was up at 5:30 a.m. and was out at 6:00 a.m. was out without a watch to the conservatory, did not feel good during the run, felt fresh, but had no energy. I wanted to do 5 laps in the conservatory,but after 4 I said was enough, was feeling weak there. Did 6.5k total without a watch. Have a great Friday!
