chatted with john davis again last night. he didn't know what happened with my tib anteriors or peroneal, so that may just remain a mystery. but for the calf strain, he suggested adding in intensity now by starting with progression runs rather than jumping right back into intervals. so i'll do that. had some advice about tapering, when to schedule a half/10-miler and how to adjust workouts around it, and a few other bits and bobs.
- run 1:00:46, 10.47 km
cool and light rain. HR avg 123, peak 135. slower than usual for whatever reason, but that's okay.
ETA for joe: davis is planning to write a response to bakken's book at some point, which should include some reflections on tone. he said he's slightly skeptical but reserving judgment until he reads the book.
evening

first strength anything in ages, just going through the motions to ease my way back in. first workout with the new home gym set up. it's cramped but it'll work! got a good 20kg barbell, 270 lbs worth of bumper plates and assorted smaller plates, movable squat stands, and an adjustable bench. craigslist/fb marketplace for the win. just need a yoga mat to put on top of the rubber mats i got at costco, those things are rough.
