Final Phase Conditioning: 1 K Interval Training

Oct. 18, 2018
2.5 K Jog: 14:30.88
1 K: 3:56.50
Walk: 1:28.49
2.5 K Jog: 14:07.94
Total 6 K: 34:04.81

Three days to go before Aqua Line Marathon 2018. Again, loosely following the training advice given in a book by ultra marathon former world record holder Mr. Takahiro Sunada, the training scheduled for tonight is interval training. The recommended number of laps is either one or two. I settled for just one lap, because I have a super early start tomorrow that is followed by a seven-hour corporate seminar. I could have skipped my training entirely, hitting the bed to give myself a longer rest, but I chose to do it, because I believed that sticking my original training plan would be a confident booster. And it turned out I was right!

By reducing the amount of warm-up by 25 %, I made the whole training session tonight manageable. When it was over, I was so glad that I didn't skip the training.

While jogging after the fast run, I felt so light, and stress-free. I ran 2.5 K in 14:07.94, and I felt like I could go on forever at that pace. Should I be able to do it in the race, by the way, my projected finish time will be approximately 3:59:18.
