800m+ Running and/or Conditioning / Races that seem fun and/or cool
« Last post by LBSS on June 08, 2026, 08:26:22 am »Parking here for future reference.
Pennsylvania Triple Crown of Trail Running: https://patriplecrown.com/the-races/. To complete it you finish the Hyner 50k (April), Worlds End 100k (June), and Eastern States (August) in the same calendar year. All with a ton of climbing/descending. Maybe in a couple of years, if I hit marathon goals.
Run the Perimeter: https://www.racetheperimeter.com/about. A solo or team race around the border of DC. Would be fun to organize a team and try to win.
Miwok 100k: https://miwok100k.com/. Looks beautiful and fun, and it'd be neat to do as part of a West Coast trip.

warm and breezy.
evening
- squat 75 x 5,5
- calf raise 75 x 10,10
- RDL 75 x 6,6
felt heavy
- barbell curl x 10
- push up x 10
- plate hold 20 x 15s/side
a little tightness behind my knees on the calf raises. kind of odd.

mostly on trails, so ~400m/1300' of elevation gain. plus it's very warm and humid, T+DI in the 140s. not too bad in the shade and there's a bit of a breeze but still. HR averaged 140 but lots of surges into the 150s, so i will skip the 3x10min tomorrow and just run easy. everything felt good, though.

Spin -- 1:50:43, 113 avg HR
Notes
leisurely. the spin bike we have at home has literally 0 computerised components, so the only metrics i have are HR, RPE, and then counting breaths/cadence manually. to mimic running, aimed to find a degree of resistance that kept me at this sort of hr with cadence ~85-95. spinning faster more fun and less quad burn than the more natural lower cadence stuff, i find, anyway.
no notable symptoms today. will probably do half run half bike tmrw morning, but play it by ear ofc.
since i was thinking of changing my saturday session to be more variable (e.g. including either hill reps or some long, fast runs like I did towards end of half-marathon block), may even keep my sundays as bike sessions (or split bike-run), since i'll be going into them fatigued from a big saturday (since that's when i'll also be lifting). seems like a reasonable way to reduce injury risk/too much muscular load. food for thought at least.
eta: think that's first week with 8+ hours of cardio (just enough to keep fitness score at 50, woop). intervals has a few other weeks over 8 hours, but those including some lifting sessions, which i no longer bother tracking.
