Well, my high volume week is done: put in 91.8 miles. Feel pretty good, felt like I handled it well. Cramping ruined two workouts (yesterday and today), so that sucks.

Here's the tentative plan for now. I have it detailed in my head even further - I mapped it all out during various lighter runs where I can think easily (lol), which I may edit in.

This coming week is lighter.

Week: 10/30/2017 - 11/05/2017
- 5k race on 11/04/2017
- Monday: complete rest
- Tuesday
-- morning: 2 miles hard (@ < 5:40 avg, maybe), 1 mile moderate
-- evening: 4 x 400m with 100m jog rest, 8 x 200m with 100m jog rest
- Wednesday:
-- morning: very light recovery run: 5+ miles
-- evening: very light recovery run: 5+ miles
- Thursday:
-- morning: 3 x 1 mile light (sub 6 though)
-- evening: 4 x 400m with 100m jog rest
- Friday:
-- morning: very light recovery run: <= 3 miles
-- evening: very light recovery run: <= 3 miles
- Saturday:
-- morning: 5k race, with emphasis on a hard 2 miles
-- evening: light long run
- Sunday: complete rest

Week: 11/06/2017 - 11/12/2017: high volume, no race

Week: 11/13/2017 - 11/19/2017: moderate volume, 5k race
- 5k race on 11/18/2017

Week: 11/20/2017 - 11/26/2017: moderate volume, more 5k races
- 5k race on 11/23/2017
- 5k race on 11/25/2017

Week: 11/27/2017 - 12/03/2017: moderate volume, 1 mile race
- 1-mile race on 12/02/2017

Week: 12/04/2017 - 12/10/2017: low volume, 1 mile race
- 1 mile race on 12/06/2017

Week: 12/11/2017 - 12/17/2017: low volume, 1 mile race, 5k race
- 1-mile race on 12/13/2017
- 5k race on 12/17

workout: light long run, was going great, until i got derailed by my arch nemesis at mile 8. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1252241555

instead of quitting, i just kept trying to relax and walk it out .. then try to run again. Took until mile ~13 or so before I could keep running, and finished with like 4 slow miles. really sucks but whatever. It was a sharp stomach cramp on my right side like usual.

wanted ~15 miles @ ~7:50 (<8:XX).

oh well, still got some decent work in.





was going good.. good HR, good pace :/

Lebron is probably the *ONLY* athlete i'd ever become a "teenage girl" around.

10/28/2017

diet:
06:00 AM: quarter watermelon, black coffee, tea + 3 tspn cane sugar
08:00 AM: workout: track
08:00 AM: sipped some sweetened tea on and off
10:00 AM: finished sweetened tea, rxbar
11:00 AM: 2% milk, coconut water, grapefruit, tea + 5 tspn cane sugar
12:00 PM: saute'd huge yam in olive oil/salt/pepper, chicken skewer, coconut water
05:00 PM: water w/ 2 lemon, siggis, 2 x sourdough bread
08:00 PM: 2% milk + protein, water w/ 1 lemon, tea + 3 tspn cane sugar

not journaling today .. videos/photos wrecked me, due to the time wasted. also, out of nowhere sick af. been raining like crazy around here, and just felt ultra amp'd today and now coming off of it. after the amp'd feeling finally disappeared, noise won't stop running.

whatever.

right ear was clogged like crazy too, but interesting how some hot tea with sugar opened it up instantly.

141 this morning.

4 x 400m with 100m jog rest went well (mostly sub 5 effort it seems), cramped up afterwards during a very slow 1 mile, which was supposed to just be a chill segment before 8 x 200m with 100m jog rest.

so lame.

the thing that throws everything a little off is the slow/careful accelerations, which is deliberate.. the "avg moving pace" is more accurate:





good effort.

edit: my rest is solid, two of those rest periods are under 60s !

44.6, 50.8, 66.2 !!! good stuff.

bro. Seen you getting Vo2 max tested, remember that's only theory what counts is the spirit & the training that defines how good you want to be.
