Training begins this week!

Midweek Check-In

I am starting slow with having three weeks of minimal running after the CIM, but this week starts a new training block. I'll be running the Ventura Marathon on February 27, 2022. That doesn't leave whole lot of time to train, but I'm hoping to regain the fitness that I lost with taking time off.

I tried some speedwork with a Stryd workout of the week. The workout is called Rhythum breaker. It was moderately successful. I was supposed to do 4X 1200s with 3 minute recoveries. The 1200s were broken up into 400 segments done immediately after each other. They were supposed to be done at the following Watts:

400m @ 230W
400m @ 210W
400m @ 221W

3 minute recovery

This is what I actually did.

400m @ 220W
400m @ 220W
400m @ 227W

I'm not sure what I thought I was doing. I'm pretty sure that I was trying to get the power going in the 1st 400 but just couldn't manage it. I should have slowed down more for both the 2nd and third segments.

400m @ 239W
400m @ 220W
400m @ 228W

I was a little fast, but at least I got the idea.

400m @ 234W
400m @ 212W
400m @ 222W

The last two were pretty much spot on.

400m @ 229W
400m @ 211W
400m @ 220W

This last one was difficult.

Wednesday is a rest day!
