Run -- 16.14k, 1:46:48 [134 Avg HR]

Lift --

1A Weighted Chin 3 sets
1B Weighted Dip 3 sets
2A Incline Curl 2 sets
2B Lateral Raise 2 sets

Notes

 :personal-record: for time on feet, longest ever run in terms of time, 4th by distance.

Got a reminder email that I'm signed up for a half on the 18th. Not certain that I'll do it. It's not an interesting course (just laps of a very flat park in London) and entry was cheap, so my sunk costs are minimal. If I'm feeling injury free and like I could go sub-90, I'll give it a go. To that end, may try this coming Saturday to do a more honest effort 5k/Parkrun, to gauge fitness.

Some mild stiffeness on waking up and a little mid about 30 mins into the run, but went away within about a minute so feeling decent there.

Cardio -- 127 Avg HR
~20 running, ~25 inline walking, ~15 air assault bike

Notes

Assault bike is fun. Comparatively easy to hit that ~130 HR compared to stationary bike, where I have to really grit to get above 120.

Parkrun -- 19:41, 5k old age  :personal-record:

+ like 2k jogging warmup, 7.5k jog to post-run coffee spot, 2.5k jog home, pretty big day lol

Notes

Think the course probably a bit short. Did some strides while warming up and could barely get to like 5:00 pace without feeling pretty awful, HR was super high even with slow jogging, so pleasantly surprised.

Splits were 4:01, 3:58, 3:58, 3:57, 3:46

Converts to 1:30:29 half...if I come in fresher and conditions are good we could be on for the sub 90...

according to my watch i closed the last 30s at 2:20 pace

Run -- 16.26, 1:43:22, 127 Avg HR

Lift --
1A Chins x 3
1B Dips x 3
OL Calf Raise x 3
RDL x 1
Rev Nord x 2
Fly 3 x drop
Lateral Raise x 1

Notes

Got some Chinese running shoes on a mega sale from Ali Express for <£30. I like them _way more_ than my Vomeros/Cliftons. Might never go back to western shoes if I can keep getting this sort of quality

Did last km at half-marathon-ish effort, ended up at 4:22 pace. Not bad given (a) in trainers rather than fancy foam/lightweight shoes and (b) doing it at the end of a long run the day after a 5k + decent volume.

Run -- 9.43k, 1:01:23, 125 HR

Notes

Sore from weekend so pleased with pace/HR/RPE of this one. Guess I should just go for this half on Saturday. Will do something like 10-15 mins at half marathon pace tmrw and then take it easy rest of week.

congrats on the PB!

Thanks! Think this'll go pretty fast. My confidence is building up and I know I just need to go for 3:50ish splits all the way and trust the fitness.
