After some emailing back and forth with the coaches from Endurance Nation (EN) I received my "Out Season" plan. Out season is just marketing for their off season training schedule. It's to early to start really working on the endurance base but not to early to start getting fast! Anyway, I missed the first week of the plan but decide to do the 5K run test yesterday to determine my run pacing, lactate threshold heart rate , and VDot number.
Maybe it was because I was on a treadmill, maybe it was the 5 minute warm up instead of the 15 minute warm up the plan calls for, maybe it was the lack of running for the last 8 - 10 weeks, or maybe it was the hangover. No matter what the cause; I'm a lot slower than I remember. Here are the results:
The good news is that I test again next month and will try to use a local 5K race instead of a treadmill. Seriously, I feel like a hamster on those things!
