2 x (11' on / 2' off) @ 4:26 [163/166 Avg, 169/172 max, 31 RR]
3 x (3' on / 1' off) @ 4:17 [168/169/169 Avg, 173/174/175 max, 34 RR]

(Ab/ad)ductor 2 sets each

Preacher 4 x Myo
Lateral 5 x Myo

Notes

two pluses of treadmill: (1) easy to bring a lot of water without the hassle of a vest; (2) easy to bring a change of shoes. Warmed up in Cliftons, changed to ZF6s for the workout portion. Felt foot a little bit towards end of second 11' rep, so changed back to Hokas for the 3' reps. Not too surprised by this – the 'fast' shoes do still feel a lot more aggressive on my foot, so need to work back to using them. Probably used them too much pre-injury (i.e. no need to use them for the long run); the feeling I get from them is that while they reduce knee/hip load, they shift some of that to the foot/ankle/calf complex? Well just got to keep strengthening all of that.

Took in about 50g of carbs during this session. Made a huge difference in the energy levels available for the lifting. Hence doing some upper at the end.

Single-leg leg press felt good/'productive'.

note to self: pre-workout oats sit heavy

Jog to gym + w/u on treadmill
Treadmill @ 1.5%
13' @ 4:26 [159 Avg, 167 Max]
3' @ 12:00
10' @ 4:24 [164/172]
2' @ 12:00
4' @ 4:21 [164/173]
2' @ 12:00
4' @ 4:19 [164/174]
c/d

Pogo Hops 3 x 14
Behind-the-back Cable Curl 5 x Drop
OH Cable Extension 5 x Drop
Machine Dip 3 x Drop
Calves press 3 x Drop

Jog home (so ~58 minutes total cardio)

Notes

Huh, steeper incline, slightly faster, and basically same HR as Saturday. Probably largely explained by inter-treadmill variation, but nice regardless. Maybe calf training + plyos helping too. Excited for next time I get out for a Parkrun, between conditions and fitness I am hoping I get near that old 19:16 PB (which still makes no sense to me; I did _so much less training_ over a much shorter period and yet...)

I first started running at the gym to avoid the heat, but I 100% get way sweatier training indoors than I would going outside. The amount pouring off me in the second half of these sessions is bonkers. Probably I have adapted to this mild 'heat' training by increasing sweat rate. Part of why I don't mind max hr getting to the low-mid 170s here. Probably also better hydration/fueling making a difference here too.

SubT 15% incline walking [57:33 total]

2 x Pogos + 2 x [3 x 4' one-leg calf isometrics]

Notes

Bit of an odd session, just sort of did 3 blocks of gradually increasing pace around ~11 mins each, so basically the usual HR effort achieved in a slightly different way. Max HR 173, 16 mins above 166, 28 above 157, etc.

Tried out some calf isos. Throwback to 2008 era training.

Sleep this week has just been awful. Good session nevertheless. 4:10 felt very comfortable.

At one point, and incredibly smelly guy got on the treadmill next to me and it took all the will I had to complete the rep before moving to a more distant machine.

eta: got some new substantially more breathable running shirts. huge upgrade.

Run -- 8.35k, 1:00:12 [122 avg hr]

Notes

First fully outside run in like a month. Was nice. On an early weekday morning, definitely easier to up the effort on a treadmill than outside, this was really plodding [7:10 pace, lmao] and low HR.

Will admit, had hoped this would be a bit faster, like 'oh a 6 weeks inside grinding hard, here's the gains', but instead it was a slog. tbf on monday's i am usually wrecked by (a) weekend load and (b) shifting back to early wakeup.

Notes

HR never above 168.

Felt pretty bad. Took ages to warmup, first rep felt rough, didn't think I'd get through it. Capped at 20 mins of SubT.  44 hours of cardio in last 41 days + however many hours of lifting. Could be due a little rest. Kind of feel like somehow I'm not that much fitter than at the start of this. Maybe just b/c it's still hot. Put in a lot of work so kinda want to feel the benefit.
