- run 44:36, 7.80 km
yep, fatigued! been waiting for a workout to make me feel it the next day and got what i was waiting for.

2
- long fast run
-- warm up
-- 10 km @ 90% MP (4:55 avg)
-- 8 km @ 92% MP (4:48 avg)
-- 9 km @ 94% MP (4:44 avg)
-- cool down
RPE a solid 8 despite never really breathing hard, definitely felt the fatigue building up in my legs. average paces were more like 90-93-95% of MP, which is fine.

- run 1:12:46, 13.64 km
back to normal-ish, although i felt blah most of the day and had to drag myself out the door for this in late afternoon. the run helped.

4
- run 58:07, 10.48 km
focused on keeping it easy. felt slow and was, just a little. 5:33 pace is just a bit below what my normal easy run pace has been the last couple months. makes sense.

- supportive speed
-- warm up
-- 2 x [2 km @ 108-110% MP, 400m jog]
-- cool down
at the track, yay. Rx was 4 x 2 km, cut it in half in line with phily bowden's recommendation (40-50% volume reduction) for a first post-illness workout. considered doing 3 x 2 but decided discretion the better part of valor. reps were a little on the fast side, 3:59 and 4:00 average.

evening

- squat 225 x 4,4
weak, not surprising

- calf raise 225 x 6,6

- superset x 2
-- TTB x 5
-- pull up x 5

something better than nothing.

unbelievably, headache lingered into today. gonna shuffle some things around after watching a recent video phily bowden made about adapting plans (e.g., when you get sick) and hopefully won't lose too much!

yesterday's low-grade headache turned into a migraine overnight, worst one i've had in several months. what joy. it's dissipating now but fml, it sucked.

8
feel worse today illness-wise: headache/head fog, cough is more frequent, nose is running more and feels stopped up when i'm prone. i also realized that i haven't slept very well since at least tuesday night. frustrating, but really seems like taking a day off is the wise choice.

ETA: red hare pro 9's came, ordered a half size up and they are too small. length is fine but they're a little too narrow and (bigger issue) the volume is too low. damn it.

- MP run
-- warm up + strides
-- 15 km @ MP (4:28 average)
-- cool down
carrying a fair amount of fatigue into this and i guess being sick didn't help. RPE 8.5, breathing wasn't hard, despite the lingering cough/chest congestion, but legs felt heavy and stiff from the jump and that carried through. Rx was 9-10 miles but to modulate based on fatigue and not let it get too hard, hence stopping when i did. first time wearing AP4s, they were okay.

ETA: hours later, still getting the weird involuntary muscle twitches in my lower legs that i associate with half marathon races. guess my legs really are tired.

10
- climb x 30 mins
so rusty, grip so weak. felt okay to get on the wall a little.

- run 1:16:54, 14.43 km
felt much better today. still coughing and sniffling a little but not too bad. didn't sleep super well but again, better than the night before. hopefully will be back to normal by tomorrow, fingers crossed.

man when was the last time you went a day without squatting 405?

12
welp, came down with a cold right as i was hitting my stride. rested today instead of planned kenyan-style progression run. hopefully a good night's sleep will help, last night i barely slept at all.

13
- run 56:50, 10.49 km
nice and easy, legs a bit fatigued from last night. was hard to drag myself out of bed this morning. trying to flip schedule around to mornings is always a challenge.

14
- supportive speed
-- warm up
-- 3 x [2 km @ 108-100% MP, 4 min jog]
-- 2 x [1 km @ 112% MP, 3 min jog]
-- cool down
2k reps in 4:06, 4:05, 4:04. 1k reps in 3:57, 3:53. RPE 7.5.

15
- treadmill run x 60 mins
target was very easy, run was very easy. it snowed overnight and into the morning and sidewalks were very slippery, so i just went to the gym after work.
