Run - 12.29k, 1:13:28
Gym cardio - 29:59, 128 hr
RDL, BSS

Notes

pretty glad to manage (just) over 8 hours in a week with 2 rest days. sticking to monday off, or at least v easy/short/non-impact. might move the vo2 sesh to wednesdays as well to really maximise quality, but we'll see.

- long run w/SubT 3 x 2.5 km (60")
-- intervals @ 4:19, 16, 15
-- total 1:36:50, 19.34 km
didn't feel as good as last week, performance almost identical but HR a few bpm higher. right calf had a weird tweak during the second interval but seems like a one-off. spectacular day. guess my legs are just a little tired. baby hasn't been sleeping as well the last few nights, so neither have we.

ETA: also took two 45g gels, one at 30 mins and one at 60 mins. practicing for 90g+/hour in the marathon and i guess future ultras, and also there's some recent evidence that higher carb intake during longer and harder sessions facilitates quicker muscle recovery. anyway will be consistent with at least 90g carbs for these long runs and as they get much longer than 90 mins, i'll go up to 135g.

Time of workout: 16:30 - 17:20
Workout duration: 50 min
Exhaustion level: 10/10
Bodyweight: 90.1 kg
Rating: Bad

Comments: The squat rack was occupied so I did some ankle mobility and quad activation drills with a band. Then did the squats but felt weak, neck started acting up, felt some pain in my left buttock (similar to some piriformis issue I had some years ago) and overall the bar felt heavy systemically and I was out of breath and felt weak (including feeling like the bar is pressing on the wrong part of my spine and giving me some weird sensations). I am actually thinking of ditching the squat, at the very least for a while, as I feel like it's hurting me in a dangerous way. So I only did two sets and unracked. Same for the deadlifts - did two sets and stopped. Maybe I will switch to Zerchers, I don't know, but the bar shouldn't sit on my injured back.

- SubT 10 x 3' (60")
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:07-14 (final one 4:19)
-- cool down
around rep five, the wind picked up and unfortunately it was a headwind for the uphill portion of the loop. final rep was almost entirely uphill and into that wind, hence the significantly slower pace.
