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.

Notes

slept super well last night, need a streak of those. painful as it is to watch my fitness score gradually drop on intervals.icu, know that it's the right thing to play it slow here. even if i'm only fully back to running by the end of the month, that's still Jul+Aug+most of Sept to get a nice block in for the next half. And I'll still be starting from a higher base than I did for this last one (i.e. worst case fitness score at end of month is ~45 or so, and I started this last block at ~39

Plyo 5 (in calisthenics park):

Dynamic warmup
-------------------
2x20 pogos
2x20m rudiment hops (forward and backward)
2x20 single leg bounds (not full bounds but felt great)
2x5 single leg depth drops (medium box, about 45 cm)
2x5 single leg box jumps with single leg stuck landing (medium box, about 45 cm (right leg) and high box, about 60 cm (left leg))
2x5 depth jumps (bilateral, 45 cm box)

2x~50m flying sprint
1x100m run

Bodyweight: 90.1 kg

Comments: Didn't really planned to do plyos but did them anyway. All were pretty good, but I did them in my Pegasus shoes which are soft. The truth is that I am made for soft shoes - I move them best in them and my knees don't get loaded as much. I am trying to be someone I'm not when I force myself to use stiffer shoes. Felt great today. The real limitation is my bodyweight and my neck and thoracic injuries.

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.
