- run 1:59:01, 21.7 km
caravanned with mom, bro, and bro's gf on bikes. consequently went a bit too fast. whoops. got a bit of chafing on inner thighs in the second hour. guess those shorts are only good for shorter runs.

thanks!
- warm up; 800m @5k pace x 6 [3:01, 3:01, 3:01, 3:02, 3:01, 2:57] w/90s walking rest; cool down
forgot last week that the plan with these 800s is to do them once a week for four weeks, decreasing the rest interval by 30 seconds each week. so did the second one today. it was harder but still not a struggle. but makes sense to stick with it.

re: RDLs taxing upper body, maybe kroc rows? you've got those high-angle BB rows in there but might not hurt to throw in kroc rows at the end of a workout like that. i used to love doing them.

normal route was blocked so had to take a slightly shorter route on the way back, hence not quite reaching an hour. close enough.

absolutely flawless fall day. 60 degrees, low humidity, clear blue sky. happy 34th birthday to me, age

- warm up; 400m x 10 [1:19, 1:21, 1:22, 1:21, 1:20, 1:19, 1:18, 1:22, 1:16, 1:11] w/2 mins walking rest; cool down
took a while to settle into the target pace (3:18-3:22, roughly 25-30s faster than 5k pace) because it's new for me. but negative splits from beginning to end is good. also this was a bit more challenging than the 800s last weekend, especially because i pushed a little more on the last couple. almost got under 70s for the last one. and as i was starting that lap, an old track dude who'd just arrived called out, "nice pace!" haha.

it has advantages over a barbell, too. you can throw it around, pick it up and put it down on stuff without worrying about damaging anything, clean and press it without worrying about your form (or wrists) as much, etc. etc. etc.

that seems extremely harsh but on the plus side, speaking from one of the hardest-hit countries in the world, where the state response has been an incoherent jumble at best, at least you don't have 20,000 dead people (would be australian equivalent to US death rate so far).
that said continuing banning things like outdoor exercise seems crazy given what we've learned about what's really high-risk (solo exercise, that is, i guess banning group classes is a different thing).

yeah but you pause. i think, if you decided to lose 6 pounds, take a few days off, and try a competition squat rather than a full pause, you could break the 35-39 record very easily.

a little too quick (4:59 average pace) but i meant to do an hour out and back and got within seven seconds without looking at my watch. nailed it.
penultimate km was 5:27 but it was 100% uphill and straight into a pretty stiff breeze, so not too mad about that.

did some cursory pull ups and push ups and hollow body holds yesterday. better than nothing but strength workout motivation remains low. it's very windy today, should be interesting to run later.

the california state raw, drug-tested squat record for 198-pounders aged 35-39 (can't remember whether you're that old yet but in my mind you and i are the same age, so close) is 534.6. for all ages it's 600.8. i'm just saying.

ran all the way to BLM plaza. turned left just before getting into the last block because as a protester i've found people jogging through an obvious protest to be oddly disrespectful or at least off-putting. relaxed pace (5:37 average) but still probably should be running slower on sundays.
