goats are so funny, that one gets whacked in the head and without missing a beat starts eating the thing that just whacked it in the head.

glad you're happy down there, adarq! how are the silkies themselves?

T+DI 152, summer is here. first time heading out the door with no shirt. HR rose a bit on the long climb up from the creek back to my house but overall average was still 126. and pace was obviously pretty slow, so biomechanically i guess load should still be okay.

- SubT 5 x 6 min
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:10-12 w/ 60-90s walking rest
-- cool down
T+DI 139, should have done these a few seconds slower. HR got into upper 160s during the last two intervals, which is above threshold. RPE 7.5, so i don't think i did too much damage, but next time will check weather the night before and reprogram watch to accommodate. have already done so for friday, given the forecast of T+DI 146 at 6 AM.

800m+ Running and/or Conditioning / Races that seem fun and/or cool
« on: June 08, 2026, 08:26:22 am »
Parking here for future reference.

Pennsylvania Triple Crown of Trail Running: https://patriplecrown.com/the-races/. To complete it you finish the Hyner 50k (April), Worlds End 100k (June), and Eastern States (August) in the same calendar year. All with a ton of climbing/descending. Maybe in a couple of years, if I hit marathon goals.

Run the Perimeter: https://www.racetheperimeter.com/about. A solo or team race around the border of DC. Would be fun to organize a team and try to win.

Terrapin Mountain 50k: 3500' of gain. Could be a good tune up for Miwok.

Miwok 100k: https://miwok100k.com/. Looks beautiful and fun, and it'd be neat to do as part of a West Coast trip. 6500'+ of gain.

Rim to River: https://www.rimtoriverendurance.com/. The coolest seeming 100-miler within a relatively easy drive from me. It's in an absolutely beautiful part of the country at the most beautiful time of year there. 12,000' of gain. Very popular so you have to get in via lottery.

warm and breezy.

evening

- squat 75 x 5,5

- calf raise 75 x 10,10

- RDL 75 x 6,6
felt heavy

- barbell curl x 10

- push up x 10

- plate hold 20 x 15s/side

a little tightness behind my knees on the calf raises. kind of odd.

mostly on trails, so ~400m/1300' of elevation gain. plus it's very warm and humid, T+DI in the 140s. not too bad in the shade and there's a bit of a breeze but still. HR averaged 140 but lots of surges into the 150s, so i will skip the 3x10min tomorrow and just run easy. everything felt good, though.

- SubT 8 x 3 min
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:05-4:06 w/ 60s walking rest
-- cool down
Rx is for 10 x 3 but i overslept and had to drag myself out the door. trying to hold back from pushing too hard, stay on this side of the line, etc. workout felt fine.

i wonder if it's just that racing really fucks you up more than you think/feel, and your body just needs more time to recover before a return to intensity than either of us took. john davis said something along those lines to me, about my calf: basically, that it's possible that my legs were just still beat up from the marathon even if they felt fine.

-- intervals @ 4:10, 4:10, 4:11, 4:09, 4:12 w/ 60-90s walking rest

rested until HR got down below 130, time varied between reps. fourth interval was slightly too quick, oops. right calf felt a little tight yesterday but it was fine this morning. added a bit of stretching to my normal pre-run warm up, which felt good. EDIT: back in the gray, let's gooo.

evening

- squat 70 x 5,5

- DL calf raise 70 x 10,10

- RDL 50 x 10, 70 x 10

- BB row 50 x 5,5

- push up x 10

i think this is a good approach, taking things really slowly and easily. haven't had any soreness so far and there's plenty of time to build.

lovely weather continues. i sped up to beat a light about a mile in and right calf cramped very mildly. stopped immediately and stretched it on the curb for about 30s. considered turning around and walking home but decided to test it out and glad i did. felt totally fine the rest of the way. still, just a reminder to be careful. a little quicker today, but HR averaged 122 and peaked at 132 so not from greater effort on my part.

meant to lift last night but wife requested a somewhat involved dish for dinner - nothing fancy, just multi-step - and she's eight months pregnant, exhausted, and stressed out by work. easy call, plus dinner was very tasty if i do say so myself. may lift at the office tomorrow, let's see.
