Ultra training

[kallefs]

The plan is to do one long run every week increasing to 10 k gradually and two shorter runs with some speed training. That seems to be the textbook way have not really figured out what speedtraining should be but will do some fartlek on the shorter runs to begin with. After 10k I'm qualified as a runner and will start training properly:)

Sounds like a solid plan. Remember though, the more intervals the faster you will reach that 10k.

Took a 1 hour walk to the gym today in the shining sun then:

Squats up to 5x3 60kg
bench up to 5x5 50kg because I kinda forgot how many sets I had done and four is a stupid number.

Plank 2x60 sec
Side plank 2x40 sec....rest day from total core work because I am weak and don't want to leave my comfort zone.

Running 2.4 km in 14 min. 100 m faster pace every 500 m. Not as fun as I had hoped for.

Need to fix my sleep, don't get enough as it is. Should probably not be reading forums at 11 pm to begin with.

Is that 10k an event? If so, when is it? Good progress anyway.

No event, just want to be able to run that far. The 10 seems to be easier to reach then the 5k. Goal is under an hour.

Deadlift today, first time in over three months.

up to 3x5 at 75 kg, back felt fine. Happy Kalle!

OH press
3x5 at 32.5 kg

Not sure about the reps for the PB since the spotter might have touch the bar. Doesn't matter since I will do 60 next week.

Will hopefully be running tomorrow, knees feel better.
