later

- assisted dead hang 30s x 3
first rep added a few single-arm hangs back and forth for a few seconds each.

- SubT 5 x 1.5 km (60")
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:15-18
-- cool down
later intervals a couple seconds slower because more predominantly uphill on the loop. nice evening, not quite cool but not hot.

- SubT 10 x 3' (60")
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:07-14 (final one 4:19)
-- cool down
around rep five, the wind picked up and unfortunately it was a headwind for the uphill portion of the loop. final rep was almost entirely uphill and into that wind, hence the significantly slower pace.

- long run w/SubT 3 x 2.5 km (60")
-- intervals @ 4:19, 16, 15
-- total 1:36:50, 19.34 km
didn't feel as good as last week, performance almost identical but HR a few bpm higher. right calf had a weird tweak during the second interval but seems like a one-off. spectacular day. guess my legs are just a little tired. baby hasn't been sleeping as well the last few nights, so neither have we.

ETA: also took two 45g gels, one at 30 mins and one at 60 mins. practicing for 90g+/hour in the marathon and i guess future ultras, and also there's some recent evidence that higher carb intake during longer and harder sessions facilitates quicker muscle recovery. anyway will be consistent with at least 90g carbs for these long runs and as they get much longer than 90 mins, i'll go up to 135g.
