Run
- w/u
- 4 x (6' on / 1'30" off) [4:20 avg]
- c/d

10.47k, 57:52

Notes

two reps ~4:08, two reps ~4:30. half with wind, half into the wind. Wind is just brutal here lately I'm so tired of it. Was feeling a bit tired so dropped the last rep and did a longer cooldown for a similar total volume.

Run -- 5.9k, 39:37

Notes

plod plod plod. properly tired. Did like 20k steps on top of the workout yesterday + sleep's been bad. Might tone back the reps tomorrow a bit, as well, depending how I feel.

Did dip into green form on intervals.icu last week, so no surprises that I'm a bit rougher this week. As Sirpoc says, 'green too keen; gray you're okay'. 57 is == all-time high for fatigue, and the last few times I hit that number I took proper time off rather than keeping rolling. Firstly a testament to improved fitness/durability/solidity, but secondly something to be careful of! Also nearing all-time-high for fitness (I think I'll probably hit it either tomorrow or Sunday). So yeah just something for me to pay attention too -- whole point is not to cook myself!

Run
- w/u
- 10 x (3' on / 1' off) [4:04 average]
- c/d

13.5k, 1:09:29

Lift
- RDL, Pistol Squat, Speed Skater Lunge, OL Calf
- Chins, Dips, Flyes, Curls, Laterals

Notes

Solid workout. Was wind-free for first 5 reps then got a brutal cross-wind for the second 5. Finally went to check the wind-effect chart in Sirpoc's book. 20km/h winds today, which he has as turning a 4:00 pace into 4:10. Seems about right. [eta: gusts up to 50 km/h, lol]

1 set of everything except calves, chins and laterals. Bringing in speed-skaters to get some lateral strength in, always feel like glute abductors/glute mede need more tlc

7 weeks + 1 day until the Hackney Half. Think I'm pretty much exactly on plan or a touch ahead. Should hit mid 380s for load again this week, despite it being sort of a 'down week' (one shorter easy run + dropped a SubT rep on Thurs), so if I go into next week feeling a bit refreshed, then an fully on-plan week should put me around 400 CTL, which was originally the target the heaviest week of training. Considering having a big week or two end of April where I maybe do some durability workouts (i.e. Saturday becomes 60 mins easy finishing with a SubT, then Sunday is just a normal long run?). I'll study Sirpoc's marathon block a bit and decide whether it's worth it.
