Awakening?

I was late. It get worse when today is the first day i realise that the normal carpark complex have been converted to an ERP payment system. Entry before 7am is consider midnight parking charges and in no way i going to pay this kind of $ for 30mins kind of parking!

I took a longer walk to the pool. :( My legs are pretty heavy this morning. Don't feel like swimming. Maybe a rest is better. :p

A rojak swim, since i lost control of what i am suppose to do! I hope i didn't lost count, or maybe i did.:( It was a fairly decent effort at the end. 63mins of it.

Stay afloat to swim on another day. :p

I thought of why i am feeling tired so early in my LSD. Hmm....shall put it into practise this weekend and see whether my "theory" works.

CBD - short intervals

This evening route is a short 7-8km run along Clark Quay, Cantonment Road. In between along the river side near to zouk, we have some sort intervals.

The intent is to run towards Zouk, use my new toy to measure the distance and do some intervals over there. Since the distance is short, intend to do 6 sets of it. Actual distance measure is slightly above 400 meters.

It was a relax run towards zouk. I try to control my pace and HR and i think i did pretty well.

During the first set of interval, i felt a twink in right hamstring. Damn it. I have to be careful and run with care. I covered the distance in 1:50 mins.

We rest for 3 mins before heading for 2nd set. Felt a bit chuan and finished in 1:52min.

3rd set definitely feel the strains on the hamstring and breathing. Finished in 1:53min.

4th set, i have slow down quite a fair bit. I look around, the front and back runners have slowed down tremendously. That only indicates they we are all pretty tired. I finished this round in 1:59min.

I decide to call it a day, as everyone is tired. When the timing for interval dip badly, it means it is time to call it a stop the "damage".

There is a time to push and the time to be cautious. Come nearer to SCSM, situation will changes.

I try to control my HR and relearn the pace that is comfortable for LSD. It was a good and slow run back to end point.

When body is tried, the traffic light always seem to turn green whenever i reach the lights! Wahaha....
