- run 9.71 km in 49:48
same temp as yesterday but less humid and light breeze. also this route only had 65m of elevation gain, more than i'm used to but a damn sight less than yesterday. as a result, lower average pace (5:08) and more even splits.
- stretch
i'm gonna lean into the heat training this summer, with the expectation of adapting and then reaping the rewards this fall as and when races begin. or solo time trials if that's what it comes down to.

interest in this topic renewed after returning to the swamp.

didn't end up running last night. body felt woozy-hungry, hormones all off w/r/t meal timing and i generally like to force myself through that discomfort in order to get over jet lag more quickly. but meant i didn't feel up to running. whatever.
this morning
- run 9.02 km in 48:50; walk/run 1.29 km in 10:07
holy shit. it's not even that hot: 82/28, but 71% humidity. humbling. gonna have to completely recalibrate my sense of my own fitness. pace started off normal, although i told myself i should take it easy, but last two km averaged 6:01 and i was struggling. doesn't help that it was downhill out and uphill back, with 99m of elevation gain, which is triple what i'm used to.

thanks adarq. trip was a breeze, there were only 28 people on my flight -- had an entire row to myself, window to window -- and the airports were empty on both ends. watched "ready or not" on the plane, which was fun.
back home now and it's 90/32 degrees out. smh. i feel a little woozy from the travel but i think i'll try to run this afternoon anyway. prob take it easy because, on top of the heat, home is hillier than london.

final few days in UK, have not been prioritizing running. between dealing with logistics and seeing a few people one last time before i skip town, not a hard call.

- run 10.01 km in 46:10
10k "PR" of 46:08. checked watch a little after 8 km and realized i could get close to 46 minutes if i picked it up. so did last 2 km in 4:30, 4:03. pretty pleased to have hit tempo pace for the last km of a 10k. legs felt a little heavy at the beginning but it didn't seem to affect pace. no calf discomfort or tightness.

- run 16.30 km in 1:25:34
distance PR. hit a couple of serious bottlenecks where i had to slow to a walk, which brought overall average pace down a little. still, 5:15 is fine for a long run. right calf tight at the beginning again, stopped after ~0.5 km and massaged and stretched. it was fine after that. will pay some attention to it tonight and tomorrow.

BTW adarq, the internet is being glacially slow now for most websites. except not this one, which is loading normally. any idea why that might be? gmail won't load at all, washington post is hit or miss. the guardian and al jazeera load but slowly. lots of other websites load but without images/media.
EDIT: embeds here like instagram posts don't load.
