wednesday

- run 1:10:16, 11.22 km
leisurely pace, air already starting to get bad again.

thursday

no run due to wildfires in canada. i'm reluctant to run when the AQI gets up past like 170. just doesn't seem worth it, it's like running while smoking cigarettes.

- run 59:14, 9.69 km
pretty hot, stopped about a mile and a half early and walked the rest of the way home because gf was overheating. we were signed up to do a 5k this morning but we skipped it since we both had insomnia last night.

yesterday

- rest, partly because legs were tired and partly to convince fiancée that it's okay to rest. she's getting very into training. we did go for a short, steep hike.

today

- tempo
-- warm up
-- 2 x 10 mins @ HM pace, 5 min jogging recovery (2.30 km, 2.29 km)
-- cool down
successfully woke up and ran before work. heel felt good, took it slow to warm up. splits for the second tempo segment weren't great for the first two km but i had plenty in the tank to kick and get the overall distance up to almost equal the first segment. there were steeper climbs on the second segment, as well.

freelanced a little extension on the usual 7.7-7.8 km route and in the end only had to run 40m past my back door. not bad for on the fly. pretty warm today but not super hot or anything. T+DI 130. legs felt okay, only a little tired from yesterday.

gassed by the end, did not have enough calories in me. tried out some gummies about 1/3 and 2/3 of the way through and they were fine but insufficient. still finished the last few km with splits below the overall average pace. also need to find a way to deal with nip chafing. learning experience.

got up early again and tried to run but started to feel a hint of something in my left heel. similar to the problem i was having last year when trying to run in the morning. cut if off after a half block.

UPDATE: felt fine in the evening so off i went.

- km repeats
-- warm up
-- 1 km @HM pace x (4:20, 4:20, 4:19, 4:19, 4:21, 4:21), 90s jogging rest between reps
-- cool down
cut it off right at 10 km and walked the rest of the way home. this was pretty hard but not killer. 4:20 is like a 1:31:30 half marathon, so not even quite as quick as i'd like to go in september. long way to go. does make me doubtful that i'll be able to run sub-20 in a couple of weeks.

- hills
-- warm up
-- 3x (hill run @5k pace x 2 mins, jog down rest)
-- cool down
that's probably too hard a pace for this hill. workout called for six reps but i forgot the number and was sucking wind very hard after the third rep, and also running late for work. it's a great hill, though: longer than it needs to be and very straight. i can feel how getting better at this workout would make me faster. will do again but moving up in reps.

successfully got up and ran in the morning  :highfive:

air quality index was in the 280s this morning, worst measurement ever taken here. it's down to like 180-190 now but that's still way into the "unhealthy for everyone" range and my eyes are feeling a little irritated even inside. so yeah, no running today.

air quality warnings are in effect for today and tomorrow, i will probably heed them and not run. mileage jumped from ~25 to 50 km last week and i've now run six days in a row so it's not a bad idea to rest anyway, even though my legs feel good.
