Today I have one of the toughest training sessions, long speeds, a very challenging workout. Here you have to be brave and not be afraid. Through this long speed training, we learn to be more efficient in managing our energy. We must go faster than our running pace, but not so fast that we cannot finish the distance. The key is to manage our speed well, slowing down by seconds per metre to finish as we should. Long speeds make us mature a lot as we have to manage more strategies. I started my training with a gentle warm-up, while I gathered my courage for what lay ahead. I told myself that I could do it. I knew that what was coming was tough, but I gathered my courage and began my long speeds.

El entrenamiento pautado para este dia eran tres series de 1500 mts, que debia cumplir en un tiempo de 8 minutos. Respire e inicie la primera velocidad. No necesite marcar un punto para saber cuando llegara a los 1500 mts porque como tengo configurado strava cada 500 mts me cante la velocidad, no habia problema, el unico era que strava no fallara jejeje. Hice mis primeros 1500 mts en 7 minutos con 44 segundos, estaba en la media ya que debia ser debajo de 8u minutos, al terminar esta primera serie, quede sin aire, y transpire muchísimo, me recupere en sitio, respirando profundo para calmar pulsaciones. Tome 3 minutos de recuperacion. Segui con la segunda serie la cual culmine en 7 minutos 51 segundos, aun seguía en rango, con las pulsaciones aun mas fuertes tome mas tiempo de recuperacion 4 minutos hasta estabilizar mas, tome un poco de agua, y seguí con la ultima, la cual fue la mas retadora, pelee conmigo misma para terminarla, y lamentablemente solo llegue a 1,15 mts, ya sentia que las piernas no me daban, y la mente me domino, y pare. Si que es muy retador estas velocidades un trabajo fuerte físico y mentalmente.

The training scheduled for this day was three sets of 1500 metres, which I had to complete in 8 minutes. I took a breath and started the first sprint. I didn't need to mark a point to know when I would reach 1500 metres because I have Strava set up to tell me my speed every 500 metres, so there was no problem, the only thing was that Strava didn't fail, ha ha ha. I did my first 1500 metres in 7 minutes and 44 seconds, which was about average since I had to be under 8 minutes. When I finished this first set, I was out of breath and sweating profusely. I recovered on the spot, breathing deeply to calm my heart rate. I took three minutes to recover. I continued with the second set, which I finished in 7 minutes and 51 seconds. I was still within range, but with my heart rate even higher, I took four minutes to recover until it stabilised more. I drank some water and continued with the last set, which was the most challenging. I fought with myself to finish it, but unfortunately, I only reached 1.15 metres. I could feel that my legs were giving way, my mind took over, and I stopped. These speeds are very challenging, both physically and mentally.

Al terminar bueno me dije, nivel desbloqueado seguimos, ya para finalizar el entrenamiento, trote una vuelta a ritmo lento y realice un poco de estiramiento en las gradas, para asi bajar un poco de tension en las piernas.

When I finished, I said to myself, ‘Level unlocked, let's keep going.’ To cool down after training, I jogged a lap at a slow pace and did some stretching on the steps to relieve some tension in my legs.

Diversificar nuestros entrenamientos nos hace avanzar, y no quedarnos estancados.

Diversifying our training helps us progress and prevents us from becoming stagnant.

Hasta la próxima amigos.

See you next time friends.
