think it's pretty fair to take a day off after first 100k week! awesome work!

and re 'in a place to run for 3 hours' I moreso meant "a place where i can run without being slightly afraid of an injury blowup', but yes now i'm also envious of having easy access to nature, though i prefer our weather at least

Run -- 11.34k, 1:13:29 [132 HR]

1a Chin + 30 x 2 sets
1b Inc Fly 17.5 x 2 sets
2a Row 90 x 1 set
2b Dips BW x 1 set

Notes

So meant to run to gym and do something low-impact for cardio, but it was closed again. I think it might just be shuttered? Lol, not too surprised given how empty, understaffed and cheap it is. Luckily there are plenty of options in the area.

Anyway, kept run shorter than I would have had I been doing other cardio, but  70+ mins on feet and no pain day after a decent run. Looks like we're back. Also felt good + fit on this run, so I'm optimistic that once I'm running regularly the fitness gains will in fact be realised.

Run -- 41:29, 131 HR

Notes

Watch was in cardio mode b/c I was planning to run to gym and do elliptical or incline walking, since foot felt slightly delicate after yesterday's session. Gym was shut/lights off? Never had that happen before, it's meant to be open 24 hours. As such, idk how far I run.

Joining pals for parkrun tmrw. Will probs try to restrain self to tempo-ish effort rather than race effort.

Run -- 10.01k, 1:05:09 [135 hr]

Notes

Nice. Think this was probs more like 9.5k or something based on feel and how suspiciously wiggly the line looks on strava.

Notes

First ~25 mins, including the 6:40 rep, were all done running. This was first outing for the Mach 6, the more supporting alt I picked up for workouts. Also like them! Also has the narrow toe-box of the Arahi and Clifton, but should stretch out soon enough.

Feeling injury free but still taking it easy in terms of moving to full running agin.

65 mins cardio, hr in the upper 160s in the on portions

Notes

Right foot feeling totally fine. Still occasional foot pain on the left. Guess I'll just keep paying attention to it, but not really sure what it is about. Not any more frequent when running that just walking around, and I haven't found a pattern to triggers yet.

Enjoying time off and sleeping in.

Will reincorporate proper running soon but keep mixing in other modalities. Also may keep the workouts to walking just to be careful.

Typically like 74kg lately and feeling a bit soft. Will try to drift back towards 70-71 and stay there. Eating habits got a bit worse with the availability of snacks at the office, lol.

14-09-25

Jog to gym
40 incline walk [130 hr]
20 stairmaster [164]
20 incline walk [138]

Calf/foot/toe stuff

Notes

Got a bit discount on some Hoka Mach 6 and Arahi 7s. Will see it having a bit more medial support helps out. This left arch pain is weird, v different feel. Right side is pretty close to back to normal, or at least close to what it felt like when I last declared it 'recovered'.

Did some more toe/foot focused training. Basically just took off my shoes and did the usual calf press stuf but with only my toes (in socks still, ofc) in contact with the surface. Felt good/hard! hopefully helps out.
