J’avais publié il y a 2 semaines cette même session et j’étais très content de ma forme (merci pour tous vos commentaires!). Dans mon entraînement Runna j’avais de nouveau cette session hier, j’ai décidé d’y aller un peu plus fort et c’est passé. J’étais plus en contrôle que la fois dernière malgré le week-end où je n’ai pas vraiment couru. Session:
- 2x1km
- 2x800m
- 2x600m
- 2x400m
- 2x200m
Avec une augmentation de la vitesse entre chaque bloque.

Le 10km est dans 3 semaines, j’ai pas d’objectif précis car il n’est pas roulant mais l’idée est de prendre du plaisir !

Bonne semaine à toutes et tous 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Probably one of my top sessions to improve your 10km race pace. Hard but short!
Session:
- 2x1km
- 2x800m
- 2x600m
- 2x400m
- 2x200m
The shorter the faster

It's been now 4 years that I started to run and decided to perform and last month I ran my first marathon.

I've been focusing half marathon because I love the distance:

• Not too much time consuming (the long runs usually are not above 25km)
• Pace is nice contrary to the 10km ahah
• It is also very easy to recover from it - 1 week and you're fresh again

I always have the goal to do a sub 3h for my first marathon so I was keep pushing it because I was scared. Last year, I decided to sign up for Paris Marathon and I had no choice to train hard for it.

My training was pretty long, I would say 4 months including the Paris Half.

My PB for the half was 1h15 on a very flat one and I managed to beat it by only a few seconds but I was really happy because Paris HM is not that flat. Anyway, my training was on a good way for the full marathon.

In all the different races I have done, I always have 3 goals in mind:

1. Goal A: sub 2h40 - I knew it was nearly impossible knowing how hard this marathon is, but we never know
2. Goal B: sub 2h45 - I would be happy to get it
3. Goal C: sub 2h50 - well, I knew that I would beat it but because people kept telling me "you never know for a marathon", I was a bit scared.

Long story short, I managed to do 2h41, even if it's not my goal A, I'm still very happy when I think back about it. The training was so hard, I wanted to give up probably 100 times during my training and also during my race (shout out to Cobbr app btw, receiving the voice notes from my friends during the race helped me a lot).

The last 5km were probably the hardest ones but also the ones on which I receive 10 voice notes and also one of my friends managed to pace me for 2km.

If I've to tell you something, keep training guys, the reward is definitly worth it. Whatever your pace is, running a marathon is a crazy achievement !

Je suis vraiment content d’avoir passé cette séance donc je me suis dit que j’allais la partager..
qu’est-ce que c’est difficile. Je pensais que ça faisait 800m et ensuite directement 400m, quand j’ai vu qu’il y avait des 600m j’avais envie de mourir mais je suis resté dans les allures
Bref, je trouve que les entraînements 10km sont de loin, les plus horribles donc force à toutes celles et ceux qui sont en plein dedans !!
