elbow still sore in the morning so i'm taking a break today. the pain is on the inside, an inch or so away from the bone. wonder if it's from trying to get my F barre chord down on the guitar. but then i never practice that for very long at a stretch, my hand gets too tired. hm.

two things to note: close grip chin ups bother my right bicep a little, as they have for many years. i figure there's something screwy in my shoulder. also, i'm starting to get a little soreness on the inside of my left elbow. fairly sure it's pull up related, as well. neither that bothersome but i just need to be conscious of them and prob to work on shoulder and elbow mobility before i do the workouts. annoying because i've been loving how efficient they are, but better that than get hurt and have to stop altogether.

yeah i'm getting absolutely whipped during this heat wave we're going through. makes me look forward to the fall, when hopefully it'll all pay off and i'll run <19.

morning

- push ups x 29,32,30
there's something with hand placement, too, that i haven't quite figured out yet.

afternoon

- run 11.03 km in 56:14
T+DI index 160+. was right at 5:00 pace until i cratered in the penultimate km. these runs should feel pretty easy, so i was happy to let the pace fall off and just focus on not walking. so uphill, so sunny, so hot, so humid.

- stretch

- SMR hamstrings, calves, back

- pull up 10 x 4; x2

morning

- push ups x 28,30,28

afternoon

- run 10.71 km in 54:10
T+DI index=162. average pace 5:04, which is within the 6-8% expected decrement. very positive split though, which isn't as good. legs a bit tired at the outset, took a km or so to loosen up all the way.

- stretch

later afternoon

- pull up x 4,4,4; close grip chin up x 4,4,4; wide grip pull up x 4,4,4
a little more challenging today.

- run 18.01 km in 1:40:00
distance PR. gonna start using temp+dew point index to reference pace. today was 81+74=155 when i set out and 89+75=164 when i got back. at that index i ought to be 6-8% slower than my long-run pace in london's lovely conditions, which was about 5:08, so...nailed it at 5:33 average, although that does include a little pick-up in the final km (4:40).

- stretch

dehydrated.

edit: one hour after workout, body very tired.

yeah and it ended up not storming last night, pissed that i didn't go. you're prob right that it's smarter not to make it up. what i think i'll do instead is long run today, skip tomorrow, then back on schedule from wednesday. the long runs are important, i think i get more out of them than the 10-11k's. this way i'll still get that in but not sacrifice a recovery day.

speaking of which, it's time to lengthen those as well. sub-50 minutes just doesn't seem like enough stimulus anymore, especially if i'm able to maintain that in the heat and humidity. will shift to 11k minimum from this week.

something else i've been musing on: i'd like to find a training partner. in normal times i'd be thinking about joining a club (as i would have done this spring in london). maybe still worth doing that just to get plugged into a little network here.

it was good, i'm glad i went. shut down a couple of intersections along the way, rallied outside the police precinct and chanted at the cops. it was pretty well organized: lots of water and snacks, medics on hand walking around with sunscreen and hand sanitizer, bikers riding ahead to block traffic, no question about who was leading (except for the chanting/singing, which got a little discombobulated). the leaders all looked like kids to me (early 20s at oldest), which is cool.

left the run too late today. conditions were brutal in the afternoon: 97/36 air temp and 75/24 dew point, so i decided to wait until after painting. then that took longer than i expected, and now there's a thunderstorm coming that i'd rather not get caught out in. might could violate my normal principle of not making up missed workouts and just do the long run tomorrow. it's not gonna kill me.

interesting. i'm sure motivation is part of it.

- warm up x 1 km; tempo x 2 km [3:53, 4:14]; cool down x .94 km
downhill-uphill out and back for the tempo. way too fast on the downhill bit, meant to dial it back because dew point is 72/22 here today. uphill bit was even a little faster than i meant to go, was shooting for ~4:20. i guess that means i'm fitter than i think? or just bad at speed regulation. idk. at any rate kept it short because of the heat.

- stretch

so, so very humid. cooling off and gonna grab lunch now and then head down to a protest march. bringing lots of water.
