Hooray! The last speed training has been successfully completed! And well under the target. I feel relieved.


I was originally planning to do it last night. However, I felt too exhausted to run right after I came home. I took a nap after dinner, hoping to get up around midnight to hit the road. Next time I opened my eyes, it was the following morning. 

I still didn't feel completely recovered from lingering fatigue, so I went to bed again and gave myself another few hours of sleep.

When I woke up again around 11:00 a.m., I felt refreshed. I changed into my athletic gear, and jogged to the start point of the tempo run.


I started off for the first 2.5 K run, aiming at 12:17.50. I came under the target. I eased the pace little in the second lap, but the time was faster. I was running faster than I thought I was. I dropped the pace significantly in the 3rd. But the lap was still well under the target. In the last 2.5 K, I no longer tried to slow down. Instead I maintained the steady pace, and surged in the last 500 M. 

Tomorrow night I am planning to do LSD for 90 minutes.
