i think odell beckham is my answer to the question, "if you could have one person's physical gifts, who would it be?"

yeah that resonates. i've been trying a bit to run with center of gravity forward, letting feet cycle with quiet steps, those kinds of cues. trying to run without brakes is a good cue.

- run 8.35 km in 42:30
5:05 pace. takes concentration to run that slow, natural desire is to go faster. calves cramping a little bit now post-run. gonna slow down as it gets hotter.
- stretch
also foam rolled calves a bit.

right, opposite of what joe said. lol. but then i wonder how you'd run if you lived in an actually hilly area. or what your pace actually looks like when you attack hills relative to flat pace. like it may be that attacking the hills still means slowing down below the overall target pace. especially when i'm dealing with hills that are particularly long or steep. well, i'll play around with both and see what feels right.
thanks.
thanks.

well now that you put it that way it seems obvious. good point.

- run 3 km warm up
- intervals 500m x [1:51, 1:55, 1:59, 1:59, 1:58] w/90s rest
supposed to be 8 but i was dying on the last one. shut it down, build fitness patiently, do not injure self.
- run 2.3 km cool down
- stretch
total distance 8.74 km, total time 43:34
hills make it harder. i tried to keep pace even on the ups and downs but beginning to think i should sell out a little more on downhills and be a little more patient on uphills. it's easy to sail downhill in <3:30 but even a moderately steep uphill at <4:00 is taxing. probably better as a race strategy anyway.
adarq, thoughts on that? you live in the flatlands but i'm curious. joe, too.

- run 6.67 km in 36:00
first ~4 km with gf again. a little quicker than yesterday but not much. picked up the pace a bit for the last ~700m, below 4:05, just for funsies.
- a little core and push/pull stuff
just to start doing it again
- stretch
feel nice. hungry now.

thanks for the tip to jay johnson, looks like some good vids. have been thinking about that given how much harder it is to get going in the morning. LMLS looks like probably a good thing to start doing.

- run 7.5 km easy, strides 20s x 6 w/ 60s walk recovery
slightly worried that the weird pulling sensation i've been getting for years now on my right knee whenever i try to sprint would flare up during the strides but it didn't. cautious fist pump.
- stretch
total distance 8.89 km, total time 47:35
