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.

Fartlek 9K @ 1:01:43

Sprints it included:
500m @ 4:38 pace
500m @ 4:45 pace
1500m @ 5:15 pace
1000m @ 5:21 pace
500m @ 4:50 pace
250m @ 4:58 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)

Horribly rusty and stiff.
Was cautious about ankle too, it is not bugging at all but i had mental inhibition, watching my steps all the time.

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.

31 May:

Run 3.5K @ ~5:50 pace
Ankle sprain!  :raging:
Walk/slow jog 3.5K back home.

FFFFUUUUUU. I twisted my ankle at a pavement crack. Was very painful when it happened. Couldn't even walk for 1 minute. Started slowly walking then, with intense limping.
But it got well very fast. Walked/jogged back home, no bugging. I did RICE,  precautionary. But around when i went to sleep ( 5 hours after the snap ) it got very bad, i would have intense pain even when just laying the sprained side on the mattress.
Much better today ( 15 hours later ) but still hurts, gotta limp in like one of every 3-4 steps.
Looks like its mild/minor thankfully, more RICE today. But looks like there will be no running for a while, FML
:ffffffuuuuuu:

Race news:
  • There is this awesome race next weekend, 10K all downhill with a very pleasant (visually) course. But for some weird reason the race is at 10:30pm. That is way too late for Greek June, it is around 27-28'C / 80'F in the shadow those days, while the entire course is in fully sunburned road btw. Screw it, i am skipping it unless last minute weather predictions are for cloudy day.
  • The big nght event that i go each year registrations are open. It is 5K and half marathon. I registered for the half!!!!!  :ibrunning: :headbang:
