06-11-26

Run
- w/u
- incline treadmill up into high z2 x 40'
- c/d

total 1:10:21

Notes

busy weekend coming and don't want to put too much pressure on myself to be super structured with running, so made this a slightly more intense friday than usual. the treadmill bit was like 20' @ 7.2kmh/7%, 10' @ 7.2/7.5%, 10' @ 7.2/8%, with segment avg hrs of 139, 144, 148. novelty of the big uphill defo makes treadmill weekday easy runs more fun. also remain surprised how easy this is on the achilles -- i guess the degree of dorsiflexion is offset by the reduction in actual force and impact going through.

05-11-26

cardio x 1:05:26, 129hr, + 2 x 15s strides during jog home

Notes

okay work, super super windy and meh sleep so not the strongest performance, but decent. first time in hackney i felt confident enough in my ahcilles to bust out the AP4s and man they felt amazing after months in some heavier, less responsive shoes (not super heavy, cloudmonster hypers and saucony azuras mostly, but not super shoes).

ended up doing 20k steps on top of the workout yesterday, so today legs pretty tired. nevertheless managed ~25 mins running in there (in some little-worn evo sls i busted out from the cupboard, truly i am getting reckless with the shoe choice).

feeling better/optimistic about things. training starting to feel like "proper" training again, feeling fitter etc. signed up for a 5k at the end of the month.

- SubT 5 3 x 1.5 km (60")
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:12-18
-- cool down
done on a paved trail near my parents' house, a branch of the one i usually run on. it was covered in leaves so pretty slippery. this was objectively not taxing, HR peaked at 162 and averages were normal; pace spread is down to uphill/downhill. but subjectively it felt hard and my breathing was more labored than usual. i never have to do three steps per breath during workouts, always four or even five, but i was today on the last rep. second day in a row slower than usual, and so i cut it short. maybe the sunday workout overcook took more out of me than i thought.

Run - 10.14k, 1:03:43

Notes

first time i've run >10k on a non-workout midweek run since hackney, jeez.

lol the course profile is hilarious. just straight up right out of the gate. we have a lot of travel already on the docket for next year but it's tempting, maybe even to do the 50k! if the year shakes out right, i might do the jfk again in late november so the timing would be good for a hilly race.

would just have to convince my wife that october is the right time to go visit her brother and his family...

Workout 116A (squat main lift):

Dumbbell Bulgarian split squat: 60x8, 60x8, 60x8 (30 kg dumbbells, easy)
Dumbbell bench press: 40x10, 40x10
Landmine single leg deadlift: bar+25x8
Biceps curls: 5S+2Lx10, 5S+3Lx10, 5S+4Lx5
Rope triceps pulldowns: 25x8, 20x10, 20x10

Time of workout: 15:45 - 16:30
Workout duration: 45 min
Exhaustion level: 9/10
Bodyweight: 90.4 kg
Rating: Good, but very tired

Comments: Slept very little last night (from 3:00 AM to 9:10 AM) so I was dizzy and felt funky in the gym. Decided to do BSSs with 30 kg dumbbells and felt surprisingly easy. Initially I did with a box under the foot to increase range of motion but it was unstable and felt dangerous so I decided to do them back on the floor. The dumbbell bench press also was pretty good, and decided to do just two sets instead of three. They also repaired the landmine attachment so I did a single set, given how tired I am.

On the plus side, they told me that I can do jumps and sprints in the gym in the winter (they have this volleyball gym) when there's nobody in there. On the minus side, the hip flexor/adductor injury is still there.
