Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!
« on: Today at 06:20:42 am »
thanks re: newborn! actually most thanks to my wife, who is very encouraging about keeping up training despite herself still not being healed enough to do anything more challenging than a couple of walks per day and some light core work. i did finally skip a day yesterday because the lack of sleep caught up with me and i felt drowsy all day.

and yeah i'm doing the intervals mostly on a track; on a ~1.3 km loop when the track's closed. it's fine, i'm not expecting them to be mentally stimulating. just whining, lol.

quite warm and sunny but still not awfully humid. felt pretty good but man the ten minute intervals are boring.

at the coolidge track once again. another beautiful warm sunny day. extended a few of the rest periods in the back half to let HR come down below 130. wore AP4s.

sprints intermittently over the final stretch back to the house, 10-40s duration with walk/jog rest. spectacular day, a little too warm to be perfect for running but perfect for anything else outdoors.

first interval around the high school before i realized the track was actually open. rest on track. probably too hard given conditions, my HR didn't get down under 150 until i got home. T+DI 157 and full sun.

thanks raptor!

- run 38:07, 6.71 km w/ 3 x hill sprints at the end
T+DI 160+, so freaking humid. baby is eating constantly and not sleeping much so neither are we. this phase is supposed to be pretty short and i really hope that's true!

T+DI 143, went out mid-late morning and it was warmer but less humid than it's been. the wildfire smoke seems to have passed, at least. week of total layoff = dialed back intensity, i cut the third rep off at 4 minutes. will plan to do similar on wednesday and friday. also the track isn't open this late so i ran around the other neighborhood high school, which is a little hillier.

ran by feel, shooting for easy but not very easy. did not check watch. HR ended up at 134, which is fine because T+DI is 153. i'm gonna have to get used to running at less than ideal times, especially in these early weeks while the baby's got no melatonin and so does not distinguish between day and night. felt so good to get back on my feet.

it has been a hell of a week. but we're home with her now and everyone is healthy, knock wood. did not get a single lick of training in - in fact, activity was so low during the four days we were in the hospital that my ankles got a little swollen! i tried to go for a run today but the canadian wildfires make the air feel like you're sucking on a tailpipe so i bailed. not worth it. yesterday was worse and i think we have some rain coming so hopefully the air will clear up soon enough. i can't leave wife and daughter for long enough yet to go run at a gym. so these first couple of weeks training will be sporadic. i will lift, though, since we have the setup.

T+DI 138, still really humid. felt fine. more importantly, wife started having contractions around 2:30 AM. they're still mild and widely spaced so that could mean anything from "the baby will be here by midnight" to "labor won't start in earnest for a couple of days." she slept very little after they started and i was also up for a while in the night.

it would be extremely funny if the baby is born during the argentina-switzerland match tonight. her aunts and uncles and cousins would lose their damn minds.

lol. none of these will ever match the letsrun cesspit at least. one of the last vestiges of the best/worst of the old-school internet.

lyle still very active posting angry rants on youtube or instagram. ends up in my feed now and then despite my best efforts to keep that postitive

very unsurprising re: lyle. i never got into letsrun, probably for the best.

i remember his forums fondly. i posted a video of myself doing a sprint start in there one time, looking for feedback, and one of the frequent posters replied, and i quote, "sloooowwwww" lmao. CF forums and lyle mcdonald's monkey island were the best, back in the day. those two guys were both very knowledgeable assholes. wonder what lyle is up to these days.
