What lies ahead?

A new week begins, and perhaps quite a few interesting stuff to watch out for!!

Began the week with a 5k or more tempo effort. Yes it was pretti tiring, but somehow I didnt feel that comfortable as b4 the hols. I dun quite know why. Roughly took arnd 21-22 mins, which is kinda average. Im hoping to do a sub 20min 5k prolly after more training, and having faith that all goes well. Seriously i duno how fast i can race a 5k now, but the fact is i dun feel confident engh.

These are just personal targets, tho not considered fast at all:
  1. A sub 8:30 for 2.4k
  2. A sub 20 for 5k
  3. A 40-42 for 10k

Sometimes I feel as tho Im not making any improvement, the dreaded feeling of being stuck in a rut just keeps haunting me. But then yet again tats life. Wots life without setbacks. Cmon nth can be that baddd. I just probably need to do better with more consistent training. Everything takes time. I might look arnd and say wow that lad's improving pretty fast, I seem to be making no breakthrough, but hey, I am me. I would rather be patient and stay positive, and most importantly, have confidence.

CUT CUT CUT! Back to where I was. So after the run I went to do some pull ups at my park. Did some weird sets at the spur of the moment. It went like this:

  1. 4 sets of 3 reps
  2. 4 sets of 4 reps
  3. 6 sets of 5 reps
  4. 5 sets of 6 reps

Done.

Nth much significant abt the rest of the day, except that I went to rearrange my portfolio, tidied it abit here and there, in preparation for an interview on Thursday. Hoping all goes well that day too =)
