i think it's a mistake to overanalyze your foot strike. it'll naturally be different at different paces and on different surfaces and may change over time as you get stronger and fitter. being too intentional about it is a recipe for injury IMHO. there's no universal "ideal" footstrike or running posture.

cool to see you adding volume steadily.

Could we say that heel first is a recipe for disaster though? I think anything other that that is where you want to be.

no, i don't even think that's necessarily true. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/the-running-blog/2014/oct/09/is-heel-striking-the-enemy-of-good-running-form

i'm ever so slightly worried that my gf is going to ask me to shave her head while we're locked down. she's been talking about it for years as something she wants to do at some point. i want to cut my hair and not sure how i'd manage anything other than a buzz cut while at home but i'm not gonna bring it up because i don't want to remind her.  :-X

i meant either total rest or at least a break from squatting. give your body time to supercompensate and not get injured.

gf bike accompaniment. first time wearing new running sunglasses, felt nice not to have to squint, lol. i feel like i look like a bit of a doofus but whatever.

couldn't be bothered to stretch right after run. may do later.

have done a muuuuuch better job than previously of gradually adding distance over the last three weeks -- 26, 30, 34 -- and foot feels good still. easy does it.

About to go out for a run. Hopefully it's impossible to catch the coronavirus passing by someone walking their dog. I think just 2-3 seconds passings by someone is okay.

same, otherwise i'm screwed.

bought a jump rope online and it came with a glitchy handle, the steel rope uncoiling and poking through the plastic coating, and dirt under a different part of the coating. garbage.

sorry to bother you guys but im doing a project for grad school and im conducting some kind of user experience surveying. The app i've chosen is for runners. you're probably already using garmin connect (etc)?  my question is what sort of features would you like to see in a running app, if any, or what would you remove that exists in your current app but you've never found useful? apart from features what do you look for in a running apps (bare minimum) in terms of user experience? any other feedback welcome. thank you.

i don't have as many complaints about the garmin app as i do about their web interface, which is astoundingly bad and almost completely useless.

the main feature i'd like to see in the app is to be able to review the workout by distance, not just time. as it stands, you can look at minute-by-minute pace, elevation, and HR, but not trace any of those against where you were at in a run. mapmyrun kind of allows that (online, not in the app) but still not very well.

i'll keep thinking about it.
