Update and suchlike

Back again!

Kept up climbing a bit, mostly 1xWeek.

Been back running for about a month now, like 15-25km a week all easy. Hip still hurts at times, though. So, back to (new) physio (who has a 2:2x marathon PB!). They're pretty confident I've got femoroacetabular impingement, so I'm waiting to get my hip imaged some time soon. It's just such a weird injury since I have like no tightness/flexibility issues, just this weird internal pain. Was amused when doctor said I should get back to the gym and squat heavy, though.

wtf

you been reading hanif abdurraqib?

nope? i think i have seen them on twitter a fair bit though. any particular reason you mention/particular recommendations?

he refers to friends very often as "pals," which you did in a recent post. it's unusual, most people i know don't use that word. i just read they can't kill us until they kill us, which i liked okay -- at his best he's brilliant and unique, nobody else writes about music like that -- but which got old before i finished. better encountered in bits and pieces i think.

cool cool! sounds like something to pick up a copy of and keep by the bed for dipping in and out of.

idk where the pals thing comes from, tbh. i often just take a liking to a word like that

Workout

Run -- 4.66mi in 41:33 [8:54 pace]

w/ same pal

Notes

Took two days off as hip feeling a little bit tight. Not pain, so it's good, just being careful.

The pal my last few runs have been with is staying with me for a couple more days, so I'll be back to solo runs soon. Looking forward to getting back into solo runs again though, haha. I like running with people as a change, but it doesn't suit me as the primary way to train.

Shall also start throwing in strides in the second half of these runs.

Catch-up post:

28-06-18

Run -- 5.3mi in 46:55 [8:53 pace]

Ran with same friend.

Notes

Holy fuck I can run again. So happy   

Going to keep to every other day for a while, I think. Fitness feels like it's coming back. HR readings from watch do not feel accurate for whatever reason, so I'm ignoring them and going by feel. First few runs logged here was probably a bit faster than conversational pace, but running a bit fast feels safer, in a way, because my form is a bit more solid there.

It's been in the 80s for most of these runs, too, which as been killer. Can't wait to see how the heat adaptations pay off when autumn/winter come.

Still on for the Oxford half in the autumn, so hopefully can keep everything together long term here.

Workout

Run -- 2.15mi in 19:23 [8:59 pace]

+ some rehab exercises and stretching

Notes

Felt good. Next run Saturday or Sunday, gonna keep them short for now so that I can maintain solid form the whole time. Want to make this stick, as I miss running a lot.
