Intervals and lots of them.

As it was planned today, I completed the first true interval training in this season. As it happens, it was my 6th run this year and as such it should be a bit harder than the rest. I almost didn't make it. Right after work I took the car in for a service and after that I had to change the tyres. Had one beer when waiting for the service and got really "hammered". Thankfully, I had to change the tyres so it gave me time to process that beer. It's funny. I need to eat a lot of painkillers for them to have an effect, but I only need to drink one beer and I'm all... weird. Anyway, I started with my training session at eight in the evening. The plan was to make five repetitions of running "quickly" uphill. According to map my run, the hill is 160 meters long with an average steepness of 20%. Now that's steep. Well for me it is :P The first repetition was o.k. The second one I started to feel my legs and lungs were starting to get soar On the third repetition I seriously thought of hanging my lungs on a nearby tree and picking them up later in the evening. And to top it all off, the smell of fresh dung was ever present in the air. Well, the fourth and fifth repetition were way easier then the third, so I rewarded myself with a little cool off run in length of little less than 2 kilometres. Now it's time to wait and see what will happen to my health. Throat and lungs are sore. Considering I'm running for the sixth time this year, it means that the reason for soreness can't be in not getting used to the fresh air. So I'll blame it on the high dosage of smell in the air. About the migraine, there are no detectable signs of getting it. All is good.

Evo ga. Prvi pravi intervalni trening s poudarkom na moči. Sem mislil, da mi ne bo uspelo, glede na to, da sem po službi moral nujno peljat avto na servis in potem še menjat gume. Heh, za informacijo. Spil sem eno pivo (barva ni pomembna :P) in sem bil cel omotičen. Zakaj, nimam tako nizke tolerance na nesteroidne antirevmatike? No menjavanje gum je prišlo prav, da se je tisto eno pivo prebavilo in glava zbistrila. Štartal okoli osme zvečer, plan sem imel 5 ponovitev "hitrejšega" teka v klanec. Kolikor sem gledal na map my run, je klanec dolg 160 metrov s povprečnim 20% naklonom. Strmo bi rekel. No prva ponovitev ni bila problematična, pri drugi sem že čutil pljuča, da o nogah ne govorim. Pri tretji sem pa mislil, da bom pljuča obesil za najbližno drevo in prišel kasneje po njih ko se izdihajo. Pa še ta svež zrak s pridihom sveže gnojevke postrgane z dna greznice :S Začuda mi četrta in peta ponovitev nista delali problemov, zato sem potem naredil še krajši iztek v razdalji malo manj kot dveh kilometrov. Zdaj pa da vidimo kako bo z zdravjem. Pljuča/grlo pečeta. Glede na to da ne tečem prvič letos ampak šestič, se bom izgovarjal na visoko koncentracijo  smradu v zraku. Če že pravijo, da te lahko "zalepne" od tega, lahko pri nižjih koncentracijah vsaj pluča pečejo kajne? No, glede migrene zaenkrat ni ne duha ne sluha o njenih "pred" simptomih.
