damn. sucks about the foot. hope it heels up quick. maybe try thicker shoes a bit more often until it heals.

i've had lots of stuff like that. one of the scariest was fairly recent, just wrecked the bottom/lateral side of my foot running hills. lasted a few months. then just vanished one day.

the human body is so weird.

Yeah think the long run was just too much all at once, rougher terrain, new shoes, longer distance. Feeling much better now though.

Yesterday

Squat 102.5kg 5, 5, 7
Rev lunge bb 40kg 2 x 20 da leg... Lol definitely easier than last time I did them
Db rdl 32kg 1 x 12

Today
Pull up 3 x 10
Db in. BP 32kg x 8
Pull over 26 x 8 20 x 15
Bis Tris

Long stretching session after.

Park run tomorrow, hoping for a pB

I remember reading you don't drink, that's crazy, esp in FL. To be honest, I haven't felt like I needed it. Although I am running pretty rural areas, I physically saw maybe 3 people in  2 hours 30 on Sunday. If I was to get a cramp or something I'd be pretty screwed.

These new trail runners are pretty minimal and in fact, for anything more rugged I'd probably want another pair, maybe the roclite inov8s although, they come in 8mm drops meh.

My left foot 5th metatarsal area has been SORE today. It was initially fine but yesterday after walking around a little it started. I'm almost certain it's a bit of peroneal tendinitis and it feels better with some rolling out and stretching of Calves/peroneals this evening. Gonna put some ice on it and see how it goes. Wanted to have an easy run today but just wasn't worth aggravating it more. Had moments of thinking it's a stress fracture but it just fits way more with tendinitis so hopefully it settles down quick.

Today did upper body

Chins 10, 20kg x 4, 10kg x 6. Weak as heck. Head just wasn't in it. Another long day at work didn't help
Rows 70kg 2 x 10
Dips 10, 30kg x 7, 15kg x 13 weak again meh
Ohp 20kg Db 2 x 1o
Bis 24kg x 5 Db, hammer 14kg x 12
Tris 40 x 10, 30 x 15

So most people on here typically started their athletic journeys training for strength, power and speed. I noticed there's been a definite trend towards endurance training (with adarqui leading the ship on this one).

I've really fallen in love with running and it's become a huge part of my life. But I've spent the last 10 years of my life pursuing strength and power (other than sports training but it's been a few years).

I thought it would be interesting explore how best to combine these. For example, is it even reasonable to expect to be able to run ultramarathons, squat 140kg+ and dunk basketballs?

Obviously a huge part of it is nutrition. My carbohydrate intake has increased massively since I started running. Probably break even, I'm not using weight. But probably still not eating enough to optimise recovery.

How best to organise training? Especially with super busy work schedules. For example this weekend I ran 5k, then had to squeeze in some heavy squats and plan to run a long distance tomorrow. I cut down on the volume and went heavier and hopefully at least will be not as sore, will see how it works. I quickly found out that running before lifting works whereas running after lifting categorically does not!

Anybody have any thoughts or any resources/examples of people who have combined these goals successfully? I guess a prime example would be athletes such as rugby players etc. There's also guys like Alex viada who talks a bunch about managing different energy systems.

I haven't really researched much at all and have kind of just been winging it however starting to think I need to put a bit more thought into training like this now

Super interested to hear people's thoughts!
