Notes

Went to physio, was moderately useful I suppose. He is convinced there is no joint issue as such, which is a relief. His diagnosis of the cause of the soft tissue issues is basically what I said above -- right glute still in the process of firing properly, but is no working enough that form is changing and this can cause issues. So basically probably worth limiting harder running while this glute work is still going, but at the same time feel free to amp up glute strengthening/activation work. Gonna get a massage later this week as it helped this pain issue last week.

just a thought but maybe it's linked to the glute activation work?

I think it probably is in some sense -- the glute activation work will lead to a change in running form, which will lead to new stresses on joints/muscles. That all at the same time as me ramping up volume could certainly lead to overuse injuries of a sort.

Anyway, still hurts today. I think I'm going to try to just not run for a week. Will keep up with upperbody stuff and do some walking (though that at times hurts too). Maybe I'll try to get some stationary cycling in to keep up cardio.

few people i know have some hamstring issues and they defer to the stationary bike. their issues don't seem to be healing. IMHO, stationary bike could definitely help prevent something like that from healing. anything quad/ham/hip flexor related should get stressed decently hard on the bike. dno though. just be careful with it!

yeah, fair...just don't want to give up all cardio, maybe i should find a place to swim, idk.

kipchoge definitely the guy who rules track and road races.
Also, Kipchoge rules the marathon, not the track :D Mo/Bekele rule the track. Kipchoge is the marathon god. However, Kipchoge did beat Mo in a 2 mile race once... Kipchoge likes to beat Mo. Pretty sure he was happy as fu*k to see Mo wanting to run London. Made him excited, the idea of crushing him once again. hah. Kipchoge is ruthless.

Kipchoge still took part in two of the greatest 5000m races ever in the 2003 World Championships and 2004 Olympics. At the first one he beat El Guerrouj by 0.04s and Bekele by ~.3s, and in the second he came third behind those same two guys by less than a second.

I think Bekele, El Guerrouj and Kipchoge all on the same podium is probably the most stacked 1-2-3 podium of all time?

Somewhat surprising, on reflection, that Bekele won neither of those races, despite setting his 5k world record a couple months before the 2004 olympics.

Watched this, wasn't quite the thrill of Boston, but, man, the BBC coverage was wank. They just did not show enough of the races or, really, the right parts. Made it quite hard to follow what was really happening. Chuffed for Kipchoge, though, and very impressed by Farah.

ya def not enough racing. i dont get it. Boston coverage was so much better.

even then, they still need to show more racing. split screen women/men or something, non stop.

yeah, split screen is such an easy solution, can't fathom why they don't use it more! they did it for like 30 seconds in the whole thing to show some Farah stuff

First in a series of blog posts BY YUKI. The links to the other parts are in the above.

"I’ve always done 4 to 6-hour trail runs, but last summer I started doing a lot more of them. Using the Shin-Etsu Trail I ran longer than 45 km two days in a row and jogged more than 40 km three times in a single week. In the fall I even started doing ultra long-distance jogs on flat ground. In October I ran 100 km mostly along the Tone River from Shibukawa, Gunma to my house in about 7 1/2 hours. Leading up to Fukuoka I did a lot of 50 km jogs which I hadn’t usually done in the past."

oof! And his jogs aren't so slow. 100km in 7.5 hours is 4:30/km or 7:15/mile. I mean slow for him, of course, but I had got the impression from how others were talking about it that these jogs were like 10+/mile

Sick quote (and very adarq) in the second part:

"There’s nothing better than being fast for being competitive, but there’s an element of being competitive that you can’t learn just from being fast."

Re push vs pull -- idk how much of the difference in me is structural versus learned. I never liked pushups, or really pushing work in general, so I never did that much of it. I've had plenty of times where i basically just did pulling stuff, or really just focussed on pulling strength. As such my back musculature is just always more built up

Workout

Run -- 7.1mi in 54:39 [7:42 pace]

Notes

Nice run, just arbitrarily targeted half marathon pace + 1 min/mile. I guess it's in the halfway zone between threshold and easy running. Forgot my watch cable so not gonna be on Strava for a couple of days, haha.

Did plenty of SL glute bridges and and SL deadlifts amd various plank variations after workout.

NG Chins

Pushups
BW x 15, 13, 10

SS1A Unsupported KB Rows
24 x 6, 6

SS1B KB OHP
16 x 5, 5

Notes

Hip flexor just a little sore today, tried a couple strides of running and figured it was best not to run today. It's not bothering me in day-to-day stuff, at least. Not super surprised that it wouldn't be feeling great when running today, given that glutes + general hip stability stuff is quite sore/fatigued from yesterday. Rest it is! Gotta keep building up that hip strength and stability though, so must keep in hill work + core/hip strength circuits after runs too.

Felt antsy for exercise, though, so did some much neglected upper body stuff. Glad I can still hit 10 chins. Gotta stay consistent with this, get that number to 20 and lean down. I'll be faster and look better, unbeatable combo...

I'm so bad at pushups, lol. Just never had a time in my life when I did them consistently. Probably lots of times when I could do more chins than pushups.

Workout

Run --

4.5mi, overall easy but with 4 fairly hard hill reps in there

4 x ~8 second hill sprints

~1.7 mi cooldown jog

Total 6.54mi in 1hr

Notes

Solid workout, fucking melted in the heat though, haha, it's in the 20s/70s now. I'll adapt, but for now it's a little rough.

Doing hill reps and short hill sprints to improve running specific strength, feels good. Going up a 350m long hill with first half ~5% grade and second half ~10-15% grade is nice work.

Hip flexor a little tender, but feeling okay.

Might pick up some sunglasses for running, haha.

Did some single leg deadlifts, single leg bridges and other general hip/glute strengthening stuff after this run. Just trying to be judicious about all that.
