for poor man's GHR you can also use a thick yoga mat, folded up, or couch cushions.

- run 10.13 km in 49:01
somehow wind was in my face for the first 4 km and the last 4 km, despite them being in almost opposite directions. lol.

too much intense stuff -- especially medium-intensity -- was also a mistake i made earlier on. i was doing 4 km runs at 4:45 pace, which at the time was too quick to be aerobic, too short to built much strength, and too slow to make me faster or build lactic tolerance.

FWIW i am working toward this (see my signature):
sunday: long and slow
monday: rest
tuesday: medium
wednesday: medium
thursday: medium
friday: rest
saturday: speed/tempo
if you can do a six-day rotation and keep track of it, go for it. but i've always found rotations based on anything other than a calendar week are impossible to stay on top of for very long.

- run 13.71 km in 1:13:03
- stretch
a little shorter than i meant to go but legs were tired. also quite slow (~5:20), due to tiredness and frequently getting lost and having to reorient. new route, with gf on bike, up into a park that we hadn't been to before that's criss-crossed by lots of paths of varying post-rain navigability. was lovely to be in the woods, though.
ETA: 7-day mileage total 55.9 km, which if not a PR for that span is at least top two or three.

- warm up x 2 km; tempo x 3 km [4:12, 4:17, 4:06]; cool down x 2.91 km
tempo pace target 4:12 based on my last 5k time. middle km is basically steep downhill for 500m and then steep uphill on the reverse, so i'm not terribly mad about it being a little slow.

- pull up x 13
i think that might be a PR, sad as it is. was hoping for 12+ so it's okay.
- run 10.06 km in 49:06
felt good, good pace (4:53 average and pretty steady after the first 2 km)

- warm up x 1 km
- running drills and mobilizations
- interval 400m in [88,89,88,88,89,89,90,90] w/200m jogging rest
laps around a local field, much harder running into the prevailing wind than with it! pretty pleased that i managed to keep pace so consistent on the work intervals, though.
