Workout

Warmup + strides

3 miles @ tempo [6:39, 6:36, 6:38]

Cooldown

Total -- 6.78mi

Notes

Pretty wild that I can whip out a relatively casual 3 miles at faster than what I raced my first 5k at now. Improvement is rad.

solid af!!

Tomorrow is definitely a rest day, and I might also take Sunday off depending on how this hip flexor thing recovers.

Oof, since returining from this run the right hip-flexor thing has become pretty painful, fuuucck.

Okay, weekend off then probably only easy running next week? Too much too soon, ya goof.

ah damn that sucks about the hip flexor. fu*k!!!

edit: also, try not to mess with it. stretching it too much etc might only make it worse.

Nate Jenkins' general fitness/half-marathon plan. Must follow suit in adding more "muscle work" again. Can only help form and hopefully reduce injury proneness. Lessons to be learned even if it takes way more fitness than I have to be able to sustain this much work overall.

damn that's a serious schedule, elite volume/frequency, but ya he is a beast so..

as for the "muscle work", I love getting my bodyweight stuff in. it's definitely not as muscly as we're used to, but I do feel it helps (the single leg abductions/flexions/extensions especially). I'd like to do lunges again but i'd have to do them in a separate session I think. Doing them after I run seemed to inflame my knee & just make me too prone to soreness.

so ya just phase some of that stuff back in slowly if you do, or time it intelligently, ie when you're about to have 2 full days off from running because of schedule etc, then eventually on days where you're going to have one full day of rest before running again etc.

pc!!

Yeah I figured after year 1 once I can do stuff like muscle ups and pistols and what not I will do local competitions to see how I stack up.

Today so far is a bust, its super cold in the gym and its weird like my muscles are burning up and like cramping which usually they just burn.  My energy levels are low which i felt on just doing 100 count JR.

Anyway i warmed up
Mile run
The 21-15-9 where i broke it up into 7s, 5s, 3s
The 4 mins of whatever wod i wrote earlier.  Going to walk, stretch and count this as a loss.  Will go home, eat, relax and come back at 12 to make up for it.

a year is alot tho man. go do one and perform "shitty" (or good who knows) -> it'll be great for your focus. Plus it'll give you an idea of how much you actually enjoy it. You could be like meh, or you could be like damn this is sick!!!!!!!

once you signup for a competition, things much more easily fall into place.

my 2 cents! :d
