- slow run 4.1 km in 24:55
gf wanted to run in the park and isn't comfortable to do it alone, so we went together. too slow to be anything other than gentle recovery. it was super nice though, good pathways. may start going there in the morning for longer runs if she isn't gonna join.

tell me about it re: shoulder. mine is still fucked from hucking and then trying to play tennis too ambitiously in august. if you do play tennis just be careful, warm up super well, and don't get ahead of yourself. in other words, don't be like me.

- run 5.0km in 22:05

adult PR. done without a warm up, having had a couple of glasses of wine earlier in the afternoon, and without meaning to do it when i started out. and terrible pace control.

target was to run sub-23 before heading home for the holidays. target met.  :highfive:

I continued to fall off the wagon yesterday but surprisingly even when i did/do, i always felt/feel in control. It's a different sort of state to when i fell in the past where it was completely of my control. Like im willingly relinquishing myself as opposed to being driven by hormonal demons. Prob because  in the past if i have been dieting for a while and im lean then the hormones are stacked against me and the body's gna try to pile the weight back. Interesting stuff to experiment with. Maybe im just better off weighing 90kg b/c i wont have any major diet setbacks b/c they're limited to when and how i choose to reassert control over my caloric balance. 

So a few things ive noticed, my activity tracker band broke. And without it, i feel i have been less inclined to stick to the plan. I need to get a replacement sorted out soon.

Not to dwell in this .. not interested in that, just wanna get back on track. Today is a good day, combo of training and PRs will help me get there!

this is really great to hear.

How important do you guys think upper body strength is for top end speed?

i'd say the answer is "quite." look at the sprinter physique thread. charlie francis bragged that ben johnson's spinal erectors were the "size of a grown man's forearm." or take seifullaah's signature quote "...speed comes from the arm."

coming down with a cold, no doubt related to lack of sleep and stress. decided to sleep in today as a result. but feeling better than i was last night and this morning so if i continue to be on the mend will run tonight.

EDIT: felt better in the evening so...

- run 6.34 km in 30:48

- stretch

started out feeling very shitty, just grinding, but ended up being okay. wore tights and long sleeves, which is smart now that it's getting a little colder. need to get some more tights and some more long sleeve shirts, currently only have two pairs.

not a photo but this video shows a lot of the landscape in passu, where a few of my colleagues are from and where i went to a music festival back in august. this band headlined the festival.

- run 4.5 km in 21:16

- walk/jog 0.7 km

- stretch

another janky-ass run. did the first 2 km in 9:00 on the nose, which is just under the pace i'll need to hit for the december goal of sub-23 5k. slowed down a bit and did the next 2 km in 9:48, which is closer to my natural track pace. then did a slow lap and change with gf at the end to cool down.

sleep schedule matters.

- run 4.01 km in 19:17
janky run. normal route cut off because they'd shut down all access on the main road to the cricket ground. odd. someone important must have been planning to go that way in the next few minutes. self-important, i mean. the most popular politician in the country barely has guards. i ran into him the other week while getting groceries. anyway. work went late again tonight and i'm tired so i didn't want to go super long. i'm also frustrated so i turned around and just picked up the pace. ended up going reasonably hard for the first 2.75 km and then shut it down. splits were 4:49, 4:27, 4:37 (with 0.25km slow), 5:17. first three are quick for the road.

humbling to realize what 4:00 feels like to me right now. i touched sub-4:00 a couple of times when i was going down hill and consciously running. 19:59 5k is a long way off. patience.

welp, lost a couple days. slept like shit on sunday night so allowed myself to sleep in a little yesterday -- no run. thought i'd just go after work. ended up working on a proposal until 12:30 AM. was too tired to get to sleep quickly last night -- hate that feeling -- so slept in this morning as well.

run or bust tonight. may do a longer one to partly make up for lost time.
