max:192 shoes: New Balance 825
20 x 200 meter in 2 sets of 10.

The first set of 10 was supposed to be at 5km race pace (ie. 3'45/km, or 45 seconds for 200 meters). This felt pretty darn slow when only running 200 meters. The first 3 were a little too fast, and then I got into a nice rhythm. 30 seconds break between the repeats. Times were:
43

The 2nd set of 10 x 200m was to be done faster, so I had 45 seconds break between repeats. Times were:

I am running a 5km track race next Monday with the Swiss team. I am pretty intimidated by this race. Mostly because the girls on the Swiss team are quiet a bit faster than me, and I know that they will be running between 17:50 and 18:30. I am not really certain what I am capable of. A great time for me would be 18:45 (3:45'/km), but that will be tough. My goal is to run under 19 minutes.

Today I did 3 x 1km repetitions and then a small break and afterwards I did 2km at a 3:45'/km tempo. The idea here was to see what it felt to run 3:45 after running 3 km really hard.
Times were:
1km: 3'37
1km: 3'37
1km: 3'38
2km: 7'34

Running 2km at a 3:45'/km tempo was really tough after the 3 1km repetitions. This showed me that I need to be careful not to start too fast, because if I do, I will not be able to hold a 3:45 pace.

I tested out the shorts I will run in, they are good, they don't ride up, etc. I also tested the shoes I will run in, they are also good. Most of the girls will have track spikes. I didn't want to buy a pair of shoes just for one race. I am not sure what a difference it will make.

I see this race as an opportunity to see what I can do, but I am still a little bit nervous.
C • Being nervous is understandable 1
C • Good luck!! 5
running (TE 3.0) 58:57 [2] 9.7 km (6:05 / km) +250m 5:23 / km
ahr:150 max:167
Evening run, pretty tired legs at first, but then things got better. Did a lot of climb and went through some of my favorite area's in Magglingen.

Monday May 5

running drills and plyometrics (TE 3.0) 55:00 [3]
ahr:155 max:193
Monday morning training in Bern lead by TB. We have started a new phase and this involves more running school and plyometrics than what we were doing before and less heavy weights. It was tough in a different way.
strength 40:00 [2]
The strength part of the workout.
indoor bike (hometrainer) 1:10:00 [2]
ahr:130
Had a strong stomach ache and my shins/calves have been bothering me, so I felt like biking wasn't a bad idea.
