happy new year, y'all. ran a few times over the break, couple of progression runs on the treadmill and a couple of street runs in my parents' neighborhood. some long walks as well. and some random push ups and pull ups here and there. nothing too serious. i like progression runs, they're a good way to use the treadmill when running outside isn't possible.

arrived home at around 4 AM, slept until 9:30 and came into work. jet lag/tiredness hasn't hit yet but i'm bracing for it. will try to get a run in tonight, even if it's like 3-4k, just to get warm and stretch. 24-hour transit=stiff body.

- run 8.12 km in 43:21

- superset x 3
-- push up x 15,15,15
-- hanging tuck leg raise x 10,10,10

- stretch

kept run deliberately slow without checking pace, averaged 5:20 (5:13-5:28). focused on form, running with the glutes and leaning forward. stiff. vag and acole's exchange on vag's journal inspired me to start doing core work again. the hundred push ups challenge has too much volume too quickly and i don't care that much. so i'm gonna do three sets, adding a rep per set until i can do sets across, then adding another. will do same for pull ups on alternating days. started with a number i knew i could get today.

welcome back! :welcome: :ibrunning: :D

just throwing my 2 cents in (like i usually do with form), regarding the glute/lean stuff: just be careful with it. i mean i personally don't do any of that stuff anymore. i literally only think about relaxing and just keeping a pace, or just random thoughts. have to be careful altering mechanics. related to that, a good way to get more glute involvement is just picking up the speed w/ some strides, then going back to light trot - which can then have better mechanics given the recent extra muscle recruitment .. and an amazing thing for "lean" is hills, if you have one you can run.

pc!

- run 10.06 km in 53:13

- superset x 3
-- push up x 16,15,15
-- tuck hanging leg raise x 10,10,10

- stretch

went out with the intention to run very light a la adarq, averaged 5:17 with a huge range: a few at 4:50-53 and a couple at 5:30-5:40, the rest in between. got some work to do at keeping steady at relaxed paces.

there's a chance i'll go to europe in late may, in which case i will seek out at least one and hopefully more than one race. my plan from now on is to run at least 5 days per week, at least 40 minutes per run, with one long and very easy run and one in which i do some kind of speed or race-pace work. could be a time trial, could be intervals, could be a fartlek, i won't fuss too much over the plan. but heightened effort. strides at the end of an ordinary easy run don't count.

nice!

during an easy run, my splits usually get progressively faster (at the same level of effort) up to a point, then they steady out. body just gives you more as it warms up.

- run 8.01 km in 40:03

- stretch

guy ran with me for a few km in the middle. on the inside of me so probably 6-10% slower. took me a little while to be sure he was trying to keep pace but eventually it was obvious. after about 6 laps he ran over to me and said, "thanks for the motivation!" and i gave him a high five and kept running.

raining to the point of flooding tonight. drive home was getting a little dicey. soooo rest day. don't need to get hit by a car that can't see me or can't stop in time, or step in a puddle up to my calf.
