Run
- w/u [including a few short strides and 1 min at ~SubT effort]
- 5k, 21:48 [paced a friend for first 4k, then pushed a little for last 5k, so was like 4:30 ish pace for first 4k, then 3:48 for last k]
- coffee and pastries
- run home, ~5k, with 3 sets of pogos, first set was 10 reps high amplitude, which was too intense, next two sets were ~15-20 lower amplitude just bouncing, which felt great]

total of ~13.5k running i think, not everything got picked up on watch for various reasons

Lift
RDL, BSS, OL Calves [60 x 7,7,6 on lowest setting on slantboard], OAC [a few sets of negatives where i would pause at 60-90-135 degrees], Rev Nord, Hip Airplane, Dips, abs

Notes

HR craaazyyy high today. Was hitting 160s just jogging in warmup, and jogging home at like 6:30 pace was in the 160s. Now I had eaten some granola/pastry like 30 mins before hand, but still. As noted, RHR has (subjectively, not actually measured) felt high this week, and have felt stressed, so guess it's downstream of that. Have also not felt like doing workouts in the AMs (as in, doing my SubT, like thursday was pretty minimal, took wednesday off), so probably burning a little hot atm. maybe no double today :'(

anyway, achilles felt pretty good, never felt wonky during the 5k, felt fine omw home, only time i crossed the back off level threshhold was when i did the more effortful pogos, and i backed off there, and it was fine to keep jogging and do some gentler low gct ones.

AM - cardio x 1:10:50, 124 avg hr, about 50% running, included 4 or 5 x 10s strides

PM - cycle x 32:01, 123 avg hr, included like 5 x 10s spinups [i.e. not change resistance just get up to a v high cadence]

Notes

achilles feeling pretty good today. will see how it is tmrw. going to meet pals for parkrun but won't TT it, just treat it as an etended subt type effort, maybe even a halfway walk break.

- SubT 10 8 x 3 mins w/ 60s walking rest
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:11-4:24
-- cool down
T+DI 151, fml. decided going in to do 8 reps because of the overcook on wednesday. seventh rep was so slow (4:24, all others 4:19 or below) that i rested an extra 30s before the last rep. achilles felt/feels good.

Not going great on the log or the workouts. This last week really felt under the weather but kept moving a little bit.
After that just doing some light weights really made me sore.

good advice, thanks!

- run 57:49, 10.43 km
achilles felt fine so i was tempted to do some hill sprints at the end, but i heard joe's voice scolding me in my head and restrained myself. T+DI in the 140s but not sunny so this wasn't too bad. kept an eye on HR despite the heat because of overcooking it a little yesterday.

17-09-26

Cardio - 1:15:51 about 15' SubT ish effort on the stairmaster in there, but rest easy

Lift - Chins, Dips, Calves

Notes

resting hr has felt high lately and stress has been high, so took yesterday off. had a nice long hot bath in the evening too just to really try to relax. been pushing a bit hard on a few fronts lately, heh. achilles feeling beter today, was about 35-40 mins running at the front of this.

yesterday

- SubT 5 x 6 mins
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:14-21
-- cool down
too hard on the later reps, HR crept up to 169 peak and averaged 163 on the final (and slowest) rep. T+DI was 149 with full sun, didn't help.

left achilles was fine but i've had a couple of short stretches away from running where it felt a little stiff. right calf is also kind of stiff/sore, i think from the raises on monday. need to do some more raises throughout the week i think. ordered a slant board, as well, to help with ROM for those.

yeah i found it took a while to get adapted to doing calf raises and running. lower reps (which are better for tendon adaptations/running-specific stuff anyway) helped + also doing some as isos (4 reps of 3"on/3"off, can just alternate legs) also reduced the fatigue.

re what you were saying a couple of days ago about spltiting up the lift and keeping run frequency: i think that's the way to go imo!
