Run
- w/u
- 5 x (1k on / 90" off) [4:24, 4:23, 4:24, 4:15, 4:10]
- c/d
7.82k, 42:45
into
Gym cardio
- 3 x (7' on / 90" off) [avg HR 165, first 2 on elliptical, last one incline walking]
- long cooldown
48:15
into
Lift - OAC, DB planche (12.5kg eccentrics, 10kg for reps), RDL, Bulgarian, Reverse Nordic, Calves
Notes
hell yeah? the k reps were pretty easy (HR in 150s for the first slow, low 160s for the last two) since I don't really want to push at all, but felt close to normal.
saw a clip of someone going hard on elliptical and this clued me into how to do it: you have to lean forward and get very close to the handles, YOU you have to hold the handles that don't move, or just very loosely near the bottom of the handles that do move. was able to get to a SubT type HR and effort that felt about the same as running outside, and felt generally comfortable. this technique also let me get the cadence much higher, into the 160s/170s, for that effort, so seems more applicable all around. only downside is that i was very sweaty and this was dripping into the foot rests and started to get slippy towards the end of the second rep, hence switching to treadmill for the last one, lol.
amusing to me that over the last 9 weeks i've averaged ~8 hours a week with ~80-105' of that at SubT (or higher, since I've pushed a few stair sessions pretty hard) and intervals has my fitness score stable/ever-so-slightly declining over that period. i don't take it seriously, but just a funny difference in how it scores HR vs pace-based load. can tell from my running that fitness is not worse, given (a) my calf/achilles complex is obviously not as effective as it was for the half (hence impacting efficiency etc), (b) i'm just out of practice, and (c) it's substantially hotter than when i was running regularly, but my easy pace/effort still seems around the same, workout paces similar etc. let's see how it all translates back when i do get running regularlagain.

kept strides closer to actual stride effort, thing in the post-half period i had probably been letting them drift towards sprints, which probably contributed to injury
