- run 10.13 km in 49:01
somehow wind was in my face for the first 4 km and the last 4 km, despite them being in almost opposite directions. lol.

too much intense stuff -- especially medium-intensity -- was also a mistake i made earlier on. i was doing 4 km runs at 4:45 pace, which at the time was too quick to be aerobic, too short to built much strength, and too slow to make me faster or build lactic tolerance.

as lyle mcdonald says: keep the hard days hard and the easy days easy.

FWIW i am working toward this (see my signature):

sunday: long and slow
monday: rest
tuesday: medium
wednesday: medium
thursday: medium
friday: rest
saturday: speed/tempo

if you can do a six-day rotation and keep track of it, go for it. but i've always found rotations based on anything other than a calendar week are impossible to stay on top of for very long.

- 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.

dave wottle comes from last at the bell to win the gold medal in the 1972 olympic 800, while wearing the kind of cap my grandpa gave me as a present when i was three years old.

- 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.

- cool down x 2.6 km

- stretch

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
