- run 1:59:06, 19.80 km
T+DI 150, kept it nice and easy, HR average 130. mostly in the shade but high humidity still plenty to deal with. felt pretty good. i drank less than last week, 1.1-1.2L total, but never felt thirsty and stopped to pee three times, which is a bit odd. drank mostly my electrolyte mix, barely touched the spare water bottle.

back up over 60 km and juuuust over six hours running for the week.

Gym --
Stairmaster x 25 mins
Treadmill incline x 55 mins
Avg HR 131, though I did ~10 min stints at 140 and then 150 on the treadmill (iirc this was like 5.0 then 5.5km/h both at 15% incline?)
+ 3 x 15 pogo hops, some cable lateral raises, db lateral raises and overhead cable tricep extensions, just to hit some spots that feel a bit neglected by other training.

Notes

Quite enjoy the stairmaster and treadmill walking. Will I guess keep them around until foot is feeling up for running every day again. probably should have done something like this sooner rather than just being like "ah it'll get better". it's not got worse really, but when i have bad sleep or it's hot i feel it a bit more/subconsciously don't want to push through it (literally put force through that foot, I mean). maybe the big weekend last week took it slightly above the salience threshold, idk.

Anyway, basically don't feel it on stairmaster or treadmill, other than a little bit during the 'hard' segment on the treadmill, and then more of a dull "this muscle is working" kind of way than the sharp "don't do this" kind of feeling when it's bad while running.

pogos not done with 100% intensity, just to get a bit of force through the foot/ankle without overloading it (hopefully).

anyway, still 5+ hours cardio this week and decent amount of lifting.

Gym -- used same "gym cardio" session on watch (with hr chest strap) for whole thing as one continuous workout (with laps) for curiousity

Stairmaster -- 25 mins, 13 min easy (123 bpm), 7 min hard (161 avg, 170 max) 5 mins easy (145 avg)
Treadmill walking -- 12 min easy (125 bpm), 7 min hard (156 avg, 166 max)
lifting -- 28:30 (128hr, 158 max, less than 1 minute below 110 HR, min HR being 102)

Dip Machine 4 x drop
Lat Pulldown 4 x drop
Chest Press Machine 4 x drop
Wide-Grip Seated Cable Row 4 x drop
OL Seated Calf - 25 x 5, 4, 3
DL Seated Calf - 40 x a lot
Glute Machine - 130 x 6
Leg Ext - 1 set to failure
Leg Curl - 1 set to failure
Preacher Curl Machine 4 x drop

Notes

Finally got round to tracking HR data during a lifting session. Does this data suggest that the way I do lifting basically a cardio stimulus? I basically never rest more than 10-30s between sets since I either do drop sets or super sets and alternate muscle groups so I'm usually just resting to change load or walk to new machine. The one thing I did as straight sets was OL Calf, which I did alternating LR so still basically no rest between sets. I mean this workout was 27 sets in 28 mins so. Interesting!

Run -- 3.21k, 23:58

Notes

hr like 108 avg, but just nothing in the legs. just tired tbh, not slept well since it's been warm. cooler now so should hopefuly get some good sleep this weekend. also foot pain is a bit worse.

might not run this weekend and just do some non-impact cardio instead, like stairmaster/stationary bike/eliptical just to see if giving it a couple of lighter days helps my foot.

- run 1:02:46, 10.68 km w/ 4 x 100m strides
T+DI 135, incredible how much difference it makes for dew point to be below 60. HR right back down into the mid-120s. another notable thing is that i wasn't scuffing my heels at all, which is something i noticed myself doing a little bit during the hotter runs.

- 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

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
