i've found the kinvara soles to be plenty durable, FWIW.
also saucony marks previous models down as soon as the new model debuts. worth checking to see if there are kinvara 10s out there, since apparently it's basically the same shoe.

the garmin also produces very unpredictable "recommended recovery times", IME.

i'm a saucony kinvara fan, fwiw. cushioned enough to run 15-16 km without a problem and light enough to do intervals. and much cheaper than nike.

thanks acole, i appreciate it.
studies disrupted in that i was supposed to be in indonesia this month to do some action research about housing rights, and that's obviously been cancelled and replaced by a jerry-rigged substitute activity. but otherwise class was pretty much over before the lockdown started, i only had to do a little over a week of classes remotely. all that's left are a couple of short assignments due in early june and then my dissertation due in september, which is obviously a solo effort. would have been nice to be able to get around for changes of scenery while i work on it but functionally it doesn't matter much to be doing it from home.
tbh the main thing this changes for me work-wise is that i'll be looking for jobs in DC rather than london, and won't have to worry about getting my work approval status changed.

truly, man. i a stable and patient person, it takes a lot to make me genuinely upset or to throw me out of my usual ability to take the long view and think about things clearly. but i'm not a robot, and the woman i thought, until very recently, i would marry is leaving me. i'm disoriented and caught up in minute-to-minute emotions. not that there is anything wrong with feeling feelings. but it's hard to remember to breathe and to wait, so reminders can help.

« on: May 10, 2020, 02:18:44 pm »Sorry to hear. One of the big 'jokes' here is that post-covid we will have a divorce pandemic.
Give yourself a few days to relax, for thoughts to settle, for intense emotions to weaken, for blood to cool. Then re-think everything. The more time passes, the more logic takes over.
I understand it is highly awkward doing all that while living together, if you can somehow detach yourself from being in there, travel elsewhere with your mind, maybe it would help.

this is extremely sage advice. thanks vag.

i mean definitely it would be nice to be there and i definitely will need some time to take it easy for a bit. but they're 3000 miles away and it'll cost me nearly a grand to get there. so don't want to rush into buying a ticket.

gf and i broke up. not sure what i'm gonna do about staying in london. obviously we'll have to move out of our place -- her first, since she has family to stay with -- but there's so much interesting work here, i was kind of looking forward to figuring out what to do next. on the other hand, the prospect of being totally alone in this apartment is pretty terrible. and paying london rent, trying to make london work for myself as a single person, with this goddamn pandemic on...i don't know. fucking covid. my impulse is to head back to my parents' place ASAP, but i don't have to decide anything right this second.
for the immediate term, we're stuck together. very uncomfortable situation.
deep breaths.

- warm up x 1 km
- running drills and mobilizations
- interval 400m in [89,90,88,91,85,89,91,89] w/200m jogging rest
a second or two slower than a couple weeks ago. perhaps just because mileage over the last week or so was higher?
- cool down x 1.7 km
- stretch
weekly mileage 49.2 km. i've been increasing week by week for a solid month now, might let it drop back down a bit in the coming week before getting up over the goal benchmark of 50 km/week.

yesterday
- run 9.15 km in 49:12
first 3 km and last 1 km with gf (last 1 km partly walked). middle 5 km pace was 4:45, but obviously overall very slow.
- stretch
today
- run 8.76 km in 43:04
legs a bit tired (which makes sense) but lungs felt good. seven-day total 59.7 km because of two three-day stretches as i get back on schedule. on track for ~48 km this calendar week and then from next week i'll settle right around 50+.
