Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!
« on: May 03, 2020, 08:39:50 am »
- run 13.71 km in 1:13:03
- stretch
a little shorter than i meant to go but legs were tired. also quite slow (~5:20), due to tiredness and frequently getting lost and having to reorient. new route, with gf on bike, up into a park that we hadn't been to before that's criss-crossed by lots of paths of varying post-rain navigability. was lovely to be in the woods, though.
ETA: 7-day mileage total 55.9 km, which if not a PR for that span is at least top two or three.

- warm up x 2 km; tempo x 3 km [4:12, 4:17, 4:06]; cool down x 2.91 km
tempo pace target 4:12 based on my last 5k time. middle km is basically steep downhill for 500m and then steep uphill on the reverse, so i'm not terribly mad about it being a little slow.

- pull up x 13
i think that might be a PR, sad as it is. was hoping for 12+ so it's okay.
- run 10.06 km in 49:06
felt good, good pace (4:53 average and pretty steady after the first 2 km)

- warm up x 1 km
- running drills and mobilizations
- interval 400m in [88,89,88,88,89,89,90,90] w/200m jogging rest
laps around a local field, much harder running into the prevailing wind than with it! pretty pleased that i managed to keep pace so consistent on the work intervals, though.

« on: April 23, 2020, 08:59:01 am »i think it's a mistake to overanalyze your foot strike. it'll naturally be different at different paces and on different surfaces and may change over time as you get stronger and fitter. being too intentional about it is a recipe for injury IMHO. there's no universal "ideal" footstrike or running posture.
cool to see you adding volume steadily.
Could we say that heel first is a recipe for disaster though? I think anything other that that is where you want to be.
no, i don't even think that's necessarily true. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/the-running-blog/2014/oct/09/is-heel-striking-the-enemy-of-good-running-form

i'm ever so slightly worried that my gf is going to ask me to shave her head while we're locked down. she's been talking about it for years as something she wants to do at some point. i want to cut my hair and not sure how i'd manage anything other than a buzz cut while at home but i'm not gonna bring it up because i don't want to remind her.

i meant either total rest or at least a break from squatting. give your body time to supercompensate and not get injured.
