- track intervals
-- warm up
-- 5 x 5 @10k pace w/2:30 jogging rest (4:08, 4:12, 4:11, 4:09, 4:08)
-- cool down
sore. T+DI 141, quite humid still but not as hot after the thunderstorms yesterday afternoon. per VDOT2 calculator, my 10k pace should be 4:05, but i deliberately ran a bit slower. felt good, not too hard overall or on any of the reps.

don't remember if it was linked on the other site, but this is what i've been using for paces for NSA sub-threshold sessions: https://lactrace.com/norwegian-singles

nothing -- tired, good move. gotta make sure i run tmrw tho otherwise i can feel habit crumbling.

following the dew point discussion, i saw on reddit today that someone linked to the article where i originally saw T+DI as an index to calibrate training. it's here: https://maximumperformancerunning.blogspot.com/2013/07/temperature-dew-point.html?m=1

ah nice, this is good stuff. suggests the same relative difference between my last two parkrun as the other source i used.

for interest i went back to see what the conditions were like when I ran 19:16 way back when. T = 12C/54F, D = 3C/37F lol

Run -- 7.03k, 45:38

Notes

lol I'm completed cooked. Was meant to be 5x6'/1' as usual, but first rep was at 4:46 pace and second I only passed 1k at 5:00 so called it there. Tomorrow I'll take my first day fully off from training since mid-April.

Probably need to be smarter about mixing lifting (esp legs) with training, esp when I do a Parkrun. Probably can just skip it on those weekend? Or just 1 set for each of the main groups instead of hammering drops?

- run 59:00, 10.00 km
T+DI 160. HR average 131.

ETA: a bit sore from yesterday. good sign, but also man that was not a taxing workout and being sore is a clear indication, as if i needed another one, that i need to be doing strength work consistently. tweaked my right calf just a little on one of the overhanging climbs and it was ever so slightly tight at the beginning of the run, but went away in a few minutes. feels normal otherwise.

Muggy even at 6.45 now. Unsurprisingly slow given weekend's efforts.

Hi all!
Damn, i really fell off the logging train, didn't i?
I'm still here, still training as always.
Been lifting 2 to 3 times a week and also running 2 to 3. Never 3+3 , mostly 2+2, sometimes 2+3/3+2 , sometimes 1+2/2+1
Weather and work and life kept me from being consistent to really progress this year.
Running-wise i was preserving a 25 mins 5K / 55 mins 10K race prediction.
Strength and muscle-wise, similarly preserving my acceptable base 'good' level.
Fell back last month due to extreme work load and Greek summer heat.
Ill get back to training and logging sooner or later.
Keep it up everyone, cheers!

you alright?

still healthy. been getting leaner lately because if i'm not very strong, i might as well be leaner. BW hit 204 empty in one morning. still got the 455 in the afternoon after 4 cups of white rice and grilled chicken+fish breakfast. 208 at gym time.
