- run 4 km in 20:47, strides 20s x 3 w/60s slow jog rest, run ~0.5km
strides in ~2:55/km per garmin. they weren't that fast because it is so hot and humid but still, that's a little slower than the women's 5000m record pace.
- leg lowers x 10,10,10
- stretch
36/97 degrees and sticky.

Ethiopian teenager Amdework Walelegn, 19, who already this year has wins at the Istanbul Half Marathon (59:50) and the Laredo 10K in Spain (27:37)
19 and already under 60:00 hm and 28:00 10k. jesus.
Quote
Another notable American in the field is Olympic gold medal triathlete Gwen Jorgensen, 32, who last fall retired from the triathlon and began her quest to reach the 2020 Olympic marathon. An All-American runner at the University of Wisconsin, she won a 10,000m invite at Stanford (31:55.68) this spring, placed 4th at the USATF Half Marathon Championship (1:10:58) and took 5th at the USATF 10K Championship at the Peachtree Road Race earlier this month.
i read a story about her recently. she's a beeeeeast. realized after college that she didn't have the talent to be world elite but has a stupefying work capacity, so got recruited by USA triathlon and hey gold medal.

morning
- run 1.31 km in 7:39
- stretch
legs felt full of lead. tried to push through until i was warmed up but they weren't having it. still pleased at having woken up and gotten out the door. shift to morning runs may be possible as long as it the heat and humidity stay a bit down.
evening
- run 8.26 km in 44:07
- stretch
humid but not unbearable. weekly total distance 42.5, moving in the right direction despite a couple of abortive runs. good.

what's that about registering with british athletics? the open meets at lee valley cost six pounds per event. i don't know where you are in the UK but it's worth traveling to race. you'll never be in as good shape as you hope to be, and that's fine! i did two races on my recent trip in crap conditions because there's no replacement, even as a training tool, for competition against other people. could i have done better if i'd trained more, hadn't flown 7,000 miles one way and then 7,000 miles another way, been able to keep running consistently on the road, etc.? yes. doesn't matter, still beyond happy with myself for at least trying.
you can do it!

when are you gonna race, man? like, find an open meet and race? for example: https://www.visitleevalley.org.uk/en/content/cms/outdoors/athletics-centre/competition-entry-forms/sprints-meetings/
it's about measurement, but even more than that it's about learning. at the meets i went to a few years ago, i impressed exactly no one with my times. but i chatted to a couple of fast people who were impressed simply that i'd decided to try to get faster as an adult, entirely on my own, and test myself. that's what you're doing, too. if i'd decided to keep trying to get faster at sprinting, instead of realizing that sprinting was one in a long line tangents distracting me away from jumping, i'd have followed up with a couple of those people. hobbyists love sharing their hobby.

niiiice and easy, 5:29 average pace. felt good. getting occasional shooting pains in my calves and feet now, though, which is not great. did some SMR and stretching, hope it just goes away.

https://www.redbull.com/us-en/events/red-bull-400-international
that looks absolutely horrible. looked at a couple race results and it seems to take at least 3 minutes for the male winners to finish. i wonder how elite athletes would do. bet 800m runners would dominate.
