22:00

part 2:
Row 3 min @ 90%
Row 3 min @ 50% x 2
+
Row 2 min @ 90%
Row 2 min @ 50% x 4
+
Row 1 min @ 90%
Row 1 min @ 50% x 6
(maintain same pace for all 90% efforts throughout - pick a pace and stick with it)
For pace: 1:42 per 500m +/- 8 sec
For distance: 10,008 m
Daily report
  • Body: Sore.
  • Sleep: More tired throughout day.
  • Nutrition: Fair. More starch/sugar than needed.
  • Notes: This one was tough. Got to use the school's nice rowers, which was nice. Quite difficult to keep a 90% pace for 3 minutes; it was a grind. Felt good after though, especially breaking into 5 digits for distance. Fun Sunday.

Morning run

 08:15
 Warm-up 5 min Z1

Running intervals:
1 min @ 85-90%
1 min @ 50% x 15
Cool-down 5 min Z1
Daily report
  • Body: Sore. Not so bad after the run though.
  • Sleep: Not so great. Intermural hockey last night, didn't get to bed until around 1. ~6 hours.
  • Nutrition: Nothing, so far.
  • Notes: Chilly one today, but pretty fun. Quick intervals like these make time go fast. I felt focused the entire time, I found it difficult to let myself get fatigued. Recovery minute was a bit faster than warmup/cooldown runs, fast minute I opened up. Not sprinting, but good pace. On a tredmill, I'd say ~8.5-9.0 MPH.

Morning intervals

08:15

10 min Z1 warm up run
+
5 sets:
Run 3 min @ 85% effort
Run 2 min @ 50% effort
+
10 min Z1 cool down run

Daily report
  • Body: Good.
  • Sleep: Not much at all last night. Too much caffeine. 3 or 4 hours
  • Nutrition: Good.
  • Notes: A little chilly this morning, and 4 inches of snow on the ground didn't make this an easy outdoor workout but it was a good start to the day today. Many of the 3 min at 85% were done uphill. I would estimate at least 4 miles total. Part 2 later tonight...
