 I just finished a pretty good workout so if you saw my video on my plan for 2021 you'll know that I'm sort of micro dosing my my training so I'm every week I'm adding in just tiny amounts of faster paced running while everything else just remains easy and today today was two times one kilometer at marathon pace so I sort of guessed that my current marathon pace is around maybe 430 per kilometer so that's what I aim for I don't have my heart rate monitor on so I don't exactly know what was going on but I took my pulse manually and it was like 185-190 which is closer to my well that's more like lactate threshold metabolically speaking anyway so I think today was more like a threshold workout but it sort of makes sense because if you think about it I've just been running easy so I've really only trained my slow twitch fibers over the last ten weeks since I started running again and so if you consider that today much more of my you know type 2a fibers were involved generally known as the intermediate fibers you know they're fast twitch fibers but they can they can adapt to become quite oxidative quite similar to the type one fibers so today's workout was a good workout for because it activated those fibers etc so but mainly mainly these workouts the reason I'm micro dosing it like that and just doing like tiny amounts like one kilometer at marathon pace one kilometer threshold is not because I I don't think I could handle more systemically systemically I would I should definitely do more high intensity training at the moment but so 26 hours later I ran out of storage space on my iPhone yesterday so just picking up where I left off what I was saying was that it's not the system as a whole that struggles with the increasing mileage as much as it as it is the structural system you know the legs basically the ligaments the tendons muscles the soft tissues essentially and so that's why I'm sort of micro dosing the workouts like that I feel like it's working pretty well I today's the day after obviously in my legs feel okay I'm not really that tired either so good good little workout you know check out the views so sunset essentially can't really appreciate it of course on the camera but it's pretty beautiful although I got to say winter for me like this it's it's you know I can I can cope most of the time but almost every day at least once or twice every day I'm feeling like on the verge of just flipping out of just screaming and just going fuck get me out of here now so it's definitely a struggle that's for sure but you got to hold on to the good things of course which is epic views a little variation I guess in training trying something new tomorrow I'm going skiing again when skiing last week so yeah today was just a very very easy run I just wanted my body to recover from yesterday and don't stress the legs too much to the six kilometers slow pace almost home now that's the barn so thanks for watching subscribe give it a like put a comment tell me what you're up to yeah maybe I should turn off the light actually that's actually better without the light but I needed the light when I was running so okay that's it see ya
