suddenly i want to subscribe to kneesovertoesguy and get to dunking again. bad timing because covid means difficult to get to the gym consistently even if i had a membership. really what it means is i should resolve to double down on running in 2021 and get to sub-19 while running is the main thing i can do.

ATG does have some no-equipment programs it looks like. folks on here who are devoted to ATG: thoughts on those? or signing up in general if i'm not gonna immediately go back into training for strength/jumping?

EDIT: also, especially because i'm shifting away from programmed workouts and keeping most runs easy to very easy, i'm gonna stop programming rest days. burnout is not a worry right now.

average pace 5:24 is a bit high but there were several stops and one section of walking that didn't register because i paused the watch. with those accounted for it was closer to 5:50 i'd guess.

knees a little sore post-run. new shoes felt good though. not great. RIP good-era kinvaras.

merry christmas, y'all. took the last two days off to help my mom with some stuff and do many family zooms. did go for a shortish hike (1 hour or so) with my parents yesterday, which was nice.

it's 24/-5 here right now and high today is 36/2. we'll see about running later, might just be too cold.

EDIT: T+DI is 36 so at least i can't complain about humidity  :P

hey welcome to the forum. what kind of wrist pain was it? speaking from experience, it's easy to get excited about a new program or new exercise and dive into it too fast and then strain something. be careful, especially since it seems like you've jumped right into a fairly big volume of (low-intensity, but still) plyos.

what's your jumping baseline? i.e., how much higher do you need to get from right now before you can dunk?

it's weird, i've had my BP taken a few times this year, in the UK and here, and it's always been around my normal baseline of 135/85. so i don't think running spontaneously lowered it into the normal range like in the last month. but who knows? maybe it was a fluke and the next time i get it taken it'll be right back to normal.

my mom said she thinks it's from living with her and my dad  :P

again a little quick (4:51 average) but i wasn't breathing hard and every split on the way home (i.e., uphill) was under 5:00 so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

welcome back. is there a reason your RVJ reps are so low? greasing that groove was really important for me, a fellow not-very-high jumper. i'd do 4-5 from a short approach before i even did my first one from a full (four-step) run up. you might think about doing more RVJ, or putting them earlier in the workout, or both. just a thought.

bit quick but that's okay.

went to doc today about my ear pain. she said it's not infected, but that i should use a different kind of ear drops than the ones i've been using to deal with wax buildup. apparently that stuff can irritate. anyway not all that satisfying. i mention it only because they took my blood pressure and it was 110/77, which is the lowest it's ever been since i was at least 19.  :personal-record:

not quite as cold, maybe low 40s. niiiice and slow, slight negative split pace-wise which is not the worst thing in the world.

felt amazing. cold (35/2 celsius) but no wind to speak of, so long sleeve shirt plus my running shell was plenty of warmth. new route, liked it, will repeat.

i missed two runs this week and still totaled 42.2 km, and i feel super ready for a long and slow run tomorrow.

wasn't quite sure where to put this and didn't want to start a new thread. given my current training it seemed relevant enough to put it here:
