Cardio x 51', 130 hr

Notes

slept in a little bit so made up for it a little by letting HR go a bit higher. Less risk there when the training is lower impact in general, I guess.

Gym work 90 (groin injury)

Tried squat, groin disagreed; tried BSS, groin disagreed, so I went with:

Landmine one leg deadlift: barx8, bar+15x8, bar+30kgx10, bar+30kgx10 (each leg)
Landmine push press: bar+15kgx10, bar+20kgx10, bar+20kgx10 (each arm)
Landmine squat (disc on back): bar+15kgx10, bar+15kgx10 (great depth)
Leg extensions: 24x10, 48x10, 48x10 ++ single leg iso holds: 24x10s in 6 different positions, twice
Seated+standing calf raises (different weights, slow tempo)
Triceps pulldowns: 20x10, 20x10, 20x10

Workout time: 15:20
Workout duration: 45 min
Bodyweight in the morning: 87.7 kg (lowest morning weight in +10 years)

Comments: Tried to squat or do Bulgarian split squats but the groin injury is still there. No sense in forcing it. So I went with landmine exercises which went well.

Nice one on the bodyweight PR! And good job finding swaps for lower body stuff too

- SubT 5x6 mins 4x6 mins
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:20, 4:11, 4:12, 4:11
-- cool down
first interval around the high school before i realized the track was actually open. rest on track. probably too hard given conditions, my HR didn't get down under 150 until i got home. T+DI 157 and full sun.

thanks raptor!

- run 38:07, 6.71 km w/ 3 x hill sprints at the end
T+DI 160+, so freaking humid. baby is eating constantly and not sleeping much so neither are we. this phase is supposed to be pretty short and i really hope that's true!

Stairmill workout
- w/u (including ~15 mins running)
- 6 x (1' @ L12 / 1' @ L10)
- 4 x (1' @ L13 / 1' @ L11)
- c/d

60' total

Lift -- OAC partial into eccentric, incline flys, calf raises, dips, rehab

Notes

HR only touched 170 BPM for like 2s, and felt pretty good generally, so pleasantly controlled on the stair part of the workout.

managed a pretty easy partial from ~100 degrees on left, not quite there on right needed a gentle pinky assist to get there, but both were able to control the eccentric even after that. i do my lifting with 0 warmup immediately after the workout, so I like to think that when fresh i could be a bit stronger

- SubT 3x10 mins x 10,10,4 mins
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:20, 4:21, 4:22
-- cool down
T+DI 143, went out mid-late morning and it was warmer but less humid than it's been. the wildfire smoke seems to have passed, at least. week of total layoff = dialed back intensity, i cut the third rep off at 4 minutes. will plan to do similar on wednesday and friday. also the track isn't open this late so i ran around the other neighborhood high school, which is a little hillier.
