how much do you care about the h/m? because if it's more than a date on the calendar then i'd say that's not enough running. maybe replace one of the cardio cross-training things with another easy run.

i'd also say, don't jump right back into 10k's. ease back into it.

and i'd also say, go get it.

Its more than a date, want to be as fit as possible till then and goal is to finish under 2 hours.
I hear you loud and clear. I guess the 3 lifting days is more because i finally have gym access after almost 2 years. But it can wait 1.5 month.
Or, i can transform one of those cross days accordingly. So instead of a normal 45 minutes lifting followed by 30 minutes stationary bike, i could do a quickie lift ( knock out some pullups and dips ) and then do 45mins to 1hr treadmill. (I insist on the gym because it is much more convenient in my schedule).
Oh well lets start and see how it goes.
Thanks!  :highfive:

Aaaaand im back.
The usual happened, 3,5 weeks of doing absolutely nothing active, eating whatever crap came my way, drinking alcohol every single day (most days 2-3 drinks ) and smoking cigarillos daily too.
Fucking totally worth it lol. Now lets get back at it.

I need some help planning my new routine:

I have a half marathon race at 15 October. I also have access to the gym again which i intend to use almost every day. It has a C2 rower too.
I am thinking a 3 days weightlifting split, including 30 to 45 minutes stationary bike at the end and then my usual 3 running days split.
So ill be doing the same with before but with the extra mileage of stationary bike and the rower.
Here is a sample:
Monday : Lifting + stationary bike
Tuesday : 10K easy run.
Wednesday : Lifting + rower
Thursday : Long slow run
Friday : Lifting + stationary bike
Saturday : Intensity run ( weekly alternate 1500/800/400 sprints )

Do you guys likey?

Recreational swimming 1hr

Recreational swimming 1hr

26 July

Easy run 5K @ 29:34 ( 5:54 pace )
Low aerobic zone jog 3.65K @ 35:09 ( 9:38 pace )

Too hot, too humid, too de-trained to make anything worthy of this workout, besides doing it.

Off to long awaited summer holidays.

1500m @ 5:15 pace
1000m @ 5:21 pace

Slow AF but it is what it is, i did enjoy the workout.

Also, another WTF jinx , i did a 9K fartlek 2-3 weeks ago, with different sprints and rest etc... and the total time was the same. To the second!!!

14 July

Easy run 8K @ 49:20 ( 6:10 pace )
Low aerobic zone jog 2K @ 19:40 ( 9:50 pave )

Chose to go a bit slower for a bit longer in the main run. Makes more sense in that heat.

And then i noticed this! How insanely crazy is it that i chose to do the exact same change on the exact same day 1 year ago???  :o  :o  :o
14 July

Easy run 8K @ 50:09 ( 6:15 pace )
Low aerobic zone run 2.5K @ 23:34

Finally actively regulated my pace to the heat ( again 30'C/86F and 65%RH ). Worked good, i lately gave up at fifth or sixth km @ 5:50 , now i did 8K , 10% slower for 40-50% more distance, good trade-off.

5 July

Run 6K @ 34:57 (5:49 pace)
Low aerobic zone jog 3K @ 28:24 (9:28 pace )

Light night breeze made this somewhat pleasant (feels like temp was still 34'C / 93'F at 11pm) , so i was instantly faster (5K split 5:47 vs last week's  5.55 )

Easy run 10K @ 1:01:41 (6:10 pace)

Double training, lolwhat?
Sprained ankle is perfectly fine for low-effort stuff, didn't bug later either. But its still tender, i don't trust to push it yet. Its awfully hot anyway, no intention to push in that heat.

Thanks man. Yeah you're right, ankle ligaments healing is weird foggy and sneaky lol.
It is much much better already. Kept wearing compression ankle sleeve 24/7 except from the 30 minutes every night that i would ice it. I can jog now but not run, if a lot of load is applied under the wrong angle, it gives this sharp intense pain. Its vulnerable to re--injury which is the worse.
No rush at all.
