Notes

bruh dunno what's going on. guess the heat is meaning i'm only getting like ~4.5-5.5 hours of sleep a night this week, but still. calves still feeling out of it, and kind of feel like i am getting hints of the PTT. maybe need to back off and stick to cycling for a few days. ugh. maybe a sign i need a more stable racing shoe, since this happened after the last half too. annoying.

AM -- stationary bike, 1:02:01, 108 avg hr

PM -- stationary bike, 32:16, 115 avg hr + 2 sets OL calf raise (+35kg)

Notes

pt a bit stiff/sore feeling so on the bike it is. so boring. might double threshold on the bike tomorrow for the novelty

was thinking that or one of those hilarious beds you have to pay a subscription for

Run -- 12.56k, 1:22:50

Few OL calf raises of a ledge + some stretching

Notes

tendons/achilles/pt whatever it is felt mostly okay here. think i probably do just need to move towards a more stable shoe rotation.

Cycle -- 4 x 8' (1') (just over 1 hour total)

Lift -- OL Calf, chins, dips, laterals, curls

i wonder if it's just that racing really fucks you up more than you think/feel, and your body just needs more time to recover before a return to intensity than either of us took. john davis said something along those lines to me, about my calf: basically, that it's possible that my legs were just still beat up from the marathon even if they felt fine.

Run -- 3.83k, 23:58

PM
Cycle -- 5 x 6' (1'), 45:35 total
Lift -- OL Calves, OAC eccentrics, chins, dips, curls, laterals

Notes

run felt decent, think i should be back to things again pretty soon. dug out some arahis i bought last year and haven't worn much. do notice a difference in stability, but they're so firm i remember why i didn't really enjoy running in them. will keep them in rotation though, for easy runs, and they have pretty minimal wear so i imagine they'll break in a bit.

wife has been lifting 2x week this year (just some self-directed dumbbell stuff, short sessions) and she wants to do a pullup. no warmup today she tried one and she could move a bit! so we tried some eccentrics and she could control them super well, so (a) that's hype and i bet she'll be able to do a proper one pretty soon and (b) that inspired me to see if i can stil control an OAC eccentric. thankfully yes i can! so the vague aspiration to hit an OAC and run a sub 3 marathon in the same day lives on.

also, gotta be honest, envious of my wife's lifting genes. here delts/biceps are pretty badass for doing like 2-4 sets a week for 6 months

PM
Run - 3k progressive warmup + 2 x k @ SubT [4:08, 4:07], 6.93k,  37:49 total
Lift - RDL, calves, lunges

Notes

been a bit cooler lately and sleep has been great. decided to push just a little on the run to see how things felt. so started with a progressive warmup, 1k super easy, 1k ~5:00, felt good, so 1k ~4:30, then walk for a bit. was still feeling good so decided to roll slowly into a 1k rep, felt fine, etc.

not 100% pain free, but nothing concerning, and it felt great to move with a bit of tempo. let's see how things feel tomorrow morning.
