- run 1:49:47, 20.36 km
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

- run 52:30, 10.84 km
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. 

- stretch

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:

still feel out of sorts, multi-day headache which is mild now but still there. woke up in the wee hours and couldn't go back to sleep because of severe pain in my right ear (second time in the last week or so). made a doctor's appointment to get that checked out.

did manage to do some pull ups, at least. 8,8,7 wide grip, dead hang.

maybe it'd be better to back off on heavy-duty stretching, if you're hurt and you're just thinking about "getting through most of it"?

half marathon is a whole other level from 15k IME. very doable, especially if you take it easy, just be prepared to be more tired at the end than you expect. go get it.
