https://www.strava.com/activities/1811665263- pretty fast today
- calves twitching afterwards
when i push the speed on road, it feels like my grass form. i feel my best on grass. need to shift that over to roads.
also need to just keep cranking the speed. that's what keeps me strong.
going to be resting alot the next few weeks (at least). going to replicate what I did last December (1 on/1 off) peaking-ish phase, speed every session. mileage should still be high - will pile up on training days (doubles). that's what i've been doing this week.
^^ good speed on road surface right out of the gate, good sign.

https://www.strava.com/activities/1813028446- calves twitching afterward
legs felt so strong/explosive. I wasn't ever worried about not getting under 5. Some of those 4:4X-4:5X's were really light.
power is coming back for sure.
stomach a bit wrecked, ate a ton of mixed nuts a few hours before, way too fat heavy.
knees/hips a little achy: those road runs recently definitely beat me up more than grass, I can feel it. Hope it doesn't turn into anything. Had I done those on grass, i'd be fine, no aches. grass ftw. BUT, need to get my "grass form" onto the roads. My grass form is definitely way more forefoot. This was on mush grass & still WAY faster than my road strides today - i'm analyzing it as I run and it just feels like I run with alot more "spring" (forefoot) on grass. On roads, it's like my body is afraid of the impact so I lengthen my GCT and run with a flatter strike.
^^ SOLID.
left calf a bit tight, felt it on the way home during the cooldown, some gastroc tightness
