Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!

- 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.

- 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?

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.

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.

- 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.

oh! i hadn't customized it at all (wasn't aware you could, although i guess now that i think about it i realize that's one of the things people like about intervals.icu). updating to prioritize pace, HR, power in that order and entering 4:17 as my threshold pace* changes load to 641 for last week. that makes much more sense!

ETA: also, my "fitness" graph is now firmly in the green zone, whereas before it had been almost exclusively grey, except for long run days. that's what i get for using a primarily bike-oriented platform as a runner, without trying to figure out how to make it work. idiot.

*using john davis's threshold (defined as "fastest pace that produces metabolic steady state"), and his estimate that that's 90% of 5k race pace.

interesting about the load. i ran almost 40km more than you did this past week and almost 2h more time on feet, but intervals.icu only gives my load as 329. pretty much all of the difference in volume is low intensity but still, with so much more volume it's still surprising that i'd be registering a lower training load.

- run 1:32:40, 17.69 km
character-building weather: 38F/3-4C and raining. had to pee so, so bad for the last half hour. this brings me to 99.00 km for the week, a pleasing number.

yesterday

- run 1:13:47, 13.67 km w/ 5 x 20s strides

today

- long fast run
-- warm up x 2 km
-- 24 km @ 90% MP (ended up being more like 91%, 4:54 average)
supposed to bring a little fuel but i'm out of gels and didn't leave myself time to make any this week. oops. still pretty easy, RPE 6.5. book says this should be RPE 8, but also not to overrun it. hm.

it definitely felt like a good workout.

- run 55:55, 10.46 km
nice and easy. lovely morning, if a bit damp. 40F/5C is the perfect temperature.

-- warm up
-- 5 x [1600m @ 90-92% 5k, 400m @ 80% 5k]
-- cool down
well, i'd been complaining about workouts being too easy. this one was a solid RPE 8. nice. reps were right on 4:15-4:16 pace, spot on. a few of the recovery intervals were a little slow, more like 77% (4:48 instead of 4:41), but the last one was right on the money.

i just bought a pair of red hare 8 pros to replace my evo SL's. sirpoc endorsed, and i've seen a couple other threads where people say they fit the same as evo SL's in the same size (half a US size up from normal). looking forward to them!

if you were planning a trip to the states anytime soon i'd ask you to pick me up a few li-nings in singapore, i bet they're cheaper there  ::)

ETA: did you have a chance to try on any of the other li-nings? specifically, the feidian challengers? just a little worried about width, only reason i haven't pulled the trigger on a pair yet.
