nothing. injury areas feeling it microscopically - not sure if they are stressed by it or are fine now, no idea.

soreness:

3 days of quad doms, some glute/ham doms. alot less than expected tho.

all of the yard work activity is good for the body.

May was going so good "work" wise.. we're hiring one of my old colleagues, an absolute monster on backend/infrastructure & even frontend.

Then today, our lead frontend engineer (who has become an absolute beast), is leaving. fu*k that convo sucked so bad. can tell it was a hard decision for him, was a rough call. we'll miss him & I imagine he'll miss us, but apparently he found an opportunity that is closer to home & more in line w/ what he wants to do in the future.

FU*K.

just wrecked my day + week + month. lol.

it's always something.

Thread hijak alert- Hey mate can I "run" something by you.

I want to run twice a week and eventually build up to a decent 5k time in the future (5-6 months away). I was thinking something faster 1 day (intervals/sprints/etc) and 1 slowish day (building from 3-5-10ish). End goal is a relatively fast 5k time and some overall endurance. Any advice?

nice!

imho, the more "volume buildup" you can do, the better. it's more important than speed training, especially early on. BUT, it's easy to work that in on the speed day.

your speed day can consist of:
- very light but "long" warmup (ie 1 mile to start)
- intervals/strides: don't be so strict with work/rest ratios early on, ie if you want to do 4 x 400 @ 5k pace (and eventually 8-10 x 400 or 4-6 x 800, or 3 x 1k), try to get it done given whatever work/rest ratio you want, but don't be disappointed/upset if you need to take more recovery etc. even at the correct paces, intervals aren't easy. so don't be super strict with them. try to keep it mentally stress free & fun.
- very light but "long" cooldown (ie 1 mile to start) .. can eventually finish off w/ however long you feel comfortable with that day.

volume day could simply be:
- light & steady, building up safely, anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour as the weeks progress.

imho, don't need tempo or anything like that. the interval/sprint stuff is a great idea because it's fun, keeps your body strong, & it's effective at throwing in some lactic acid. the more long/light stuff you get in, the stronger your heart/lungs will get.

one very important thing the light steady long running does, is give you an opportunity to learn how to relax while running. it's extremely important.

also if possible, do as much stuff on softer surfaces as you can .. soft ie inside of track grass, baseball/futbol field grass etc. i'd do most of my stuff on soft surfaces, then just race on concrete, no problem. soft surfaces keep you healthier & make you stronger.

finally, any sign of issues creeping up, take it serious. running injuries are vicious, but almost always have precursors. need to know when to back off etc.

even the very light stuff can end up causing issues, so have to just listen very carefully to the body, then you're good. don't run through injuries etc.

taking time off or missing days won't hurt you too much. it hurts more mentally than physically.

just my quick 2 cents!

bw = 140



STEPPED ON ANOTHER FUCKING BEE YESTERDAY.

man.. talk about pain. excruciating.

the one i stepped on 2 weeks ago, with my big toe, ok that hurt.. but this pinky toe one? haven't dropped that many F bombs in a long time.

felt like a "flaming hot scalpel" for what must have been 15 minutes.. then hurt for several hours after that. i never removed the stinger, so it could still be in there.. couldn't find it like i normally do.

these bees just lay down and die on the pool deck.. then you step on them, game over. lmao. so glad my dogs havent stepped on one.. one got stung years back and he went apeshit.

lmao.

Man that's rough! Never been stung by a bee but imagine it can't be fun. Sure it wasn't one of those murder hornets they've been talking about?
