Faster evening short run

Today I got a bit later than planned from work, so I headed out around 7:15 p.m. to the conservatory, I was going to do only 30 mins, but since it was going to be that short I wanted to do it faster so when I got to the conservatory in 7:26, I decided to do 4 laps faster than my normal pace, splits were: 5:30,5:25,5:14,5:04. In the second half I guy bited the dust when He fell down off a skateboard and rolled a couple of times in the pavement, I helped him to stand up again, lost a couple of seconds, but no biggie! I felt a bit tired, but at the same time felt confortable, because I was going fast but no lactic accumulation so I was happy in that regard. The weather was good and I did around 5.5k in 30 mins.

Have a great night everyone!

Good evening run

I headed out today at 6:55 pm. to the conservatory in 7:46 very easy, then did 6 laps in 6:15,6:07,5:56,5:53,5:57,5:44 or at least that is what I remember, anyway it was thereabout. Completed the 45 mins. The weather was good and I felt better as the run went by, I just had planned to do around 33 mins, but given the good I felt after the first 2 laps I decided to complete my regular run.

Have a great Tuesday!

Zapping the zero

Have not run since Thursday so Friday, Saturday and Sunday were off. No reason in particular just rest on Friday and that rest day dragged the other too, what a discipline!

Today I was back at it at 6:33 p.m. that was when I headed out to the conservatory, I left work today earlier than usual, did 6 laps in the conservatory in 6:09,6:05,6:04,5:42,5:51 and 5:32, completed the 45 mins. Felt good and somewhat rested. The weather was very good today, I barely sweat today!

Then talked with a couple of guys, including one spanish guy that they do bodyweight exercise and offered me to join them, I might do it since I am not doing any upper body work.

I really enjoy going to the conservatory at that time, very good atmosphere there and good place to know new people.

Have a great night

Consistency is on

As I said in my previous post that I posted around 5 hours ago, I went to the conservatory at 6:20 p.m. and did 6 laps there very confortable and at a very good clip, it seems that when I work I get home very tired, today as I was free from work, I just felt great and fresh out there, got to the conservatory in 7:31, then did 6 laps in 5:59,5:51,5:49,5:46,5:44,5:46. Completed the 45 mins, felt good out there, the only problem is when I finish I have my groin bother me a lot, dont know its due to the overweight or the sweaty clothes, but I pretty much limp on my way home trying not to get to annoyed by it. The weather is behaving well! its going to live on the caribbean, I have heard that people that live in the US are having a hard time to train outside to the extreme cold out there! You kind of feel impotent when you want to train but encounter those conditions! thats awful!!

Have a great night foks!!

Very easy run with fast finish

This run was done yesterday at 6:45 p.m. I headed out after work and was not feeling very good, feeling heavy these days, got to the conservatory in 7:44, then did 6 laps, first lap was 6:22 very easy, then I saw that that was not going to my day so I reamined at that pace for 4 more laps , 6:27,6:27,6:21,6:17, then really increased effort in the last lap and did 4:32, then finished the 45 mins. That last lap felt really fast and the breathing was at 100 miles per hour, people that were walking heared my  breathing very hard and only turned back, ha! anyway I am glad that I did a lap that fast, dont remember the last time I ran a lap like that in training.

I am off from work today and I ll run in a bout 1 hour, so stay tuned for my post.

Heavy evening running

Today I headed out to the conservatory at 6:45 p.m. earlier than most of the time I run after work, got to the conservatory in 7:37 at a good clip, then did 6 laps in 6:07,6:03,6:09,5:48,5:52,5:33. In the last lap I increased a bit the pace and the effort. Felt heavy in the legs today but felt good overall. Finished there the 45 mins.

In the last 17 days or so I have only drank coke once and I am feeling pretty good, not feeling bloated and feeling thiner during runs.

Have a great night!

Zapping the zero

On Saturday could not run. On Sunday the hang over got the best of me and I could only wake up  after 1 p.m. decided to skip the run, I drank too much on Saturday.

Today evening I was again on the roads, headed out to the conservatory at 7:15 p.m. and did what I think was 45 mins, I ran watchless today but I did the same laps and route that I am doing lately. 6 laps to the conservatory and a bit more to complete the 45 mins. The time was imaginary today since I did not have a watch with me today. I felt good and somewhat rested, but the inconsistency that I carried last week was terrible, I hope to make up some this week.

Have a great night!
