Run -- 13.88k, 1:20:47

Notes

Legs felt heavy last night and this AM walking around at home, but basically felt fine on this run, which is nice.

90.5k on the week, 7h58m running, if I'd realised that I'd've extended this run by another 2 mins obviously. Both obviously big 'PRs'. In fact, the only times that run further than the ~76.5k I accumulated up to yesterday were 3 of the last 4 weeks of training. So, yeah, good little block here! Let's hope I recover well and make the best of it. Looks like sirpoc advises  hitting around ~+5 form on race day, the infimum of the fresh zone on intervals. Think that's very attainable with next week being a normal 2xSubT + Saturday Parkrun week, then toning things back in the final week.

Run -- 10.22k, 57:56

Notes

Legs finally sore from Saturday, woof. Despite that, a brisk pace and low HR (126) on this run. Partly fitness, partly that it's a bank holiday so I actually get to sit around, eat breakfast, have my coffee, etc, instead of rolling out the door at 6.45.

Notes

Legs still pretty sore (esp quads/hip flexors -- like rec fem) and body tired, but good pace! Couldn't get HR up, only started to average in the 160s in the last half of the last rep -- more a sign of fatigue than anything. Still, pretty sure that's the fastest this workout has ever been!

Run -- 6.63k, 41:16

Notes

Proper plod there, HR average 119, never getting above 130. Calves are feeling pretty tired especially. Think two weeks in the green zone + easy pace getting faster has been a tough combo. Like even if `fitness` is way up, and HR load etc all manageable, sudden increase in easy pace could still take a muscular load.

Went to sauna over lunch break to get some heat acclimation in since it might be getting to around 20 during the back half of my half. 25 mins. HR at the end was higher than my HR on my run this am, lmao. Seen some interesting studies on heat increasing vo2 max, but those tend to have like 3-5 week time course, so I'm not holding out hope. might get a membership, though enjoyed this.

hoping i feel a bit better tmrw for this parkrun.

eta: i could take a proper day off at some point, i guess, but i'm kind of enjoying this streak. 1 day off since mid-feb, and on that day i woke up at 4am to go to the airport, so imo it's really 1 day off since end of jan. run on 122/128 days, with an elliptical session on one of the remaining 6. 3 of the 5 'inactive' days came in january, as well. have built up really nicely and no signs of injury atm!
