just a thought but maybe it's linked to the glute activation work?

I think it probably is in some sense -- the glute activation work will lead to a change in running form, which will lead to new stresses on joints/muscles. That all at the same time as me ramping up volume could certainly lead to overuse injuries of a sort.

Anyway, still hurts today. I think I'm going to try to just not run for a week. Will keep up with upperbody stuff and do some walking (though that at times hurts too). Maybe I'll try to get some stationary cycling in to keep up cardio.

Watched this, wasn't quite the thrill of Boston, but, man, the BBC coverage was wank. They just did not show enough of the races or, really, the right parts. Made it quite hard to follow what was really happening. Chuffed for Kipchoge, though, and very impressed by Farah.

ya def not enough racing. i dont get it. Boston coverage was so much better.

even then, they still need to show more racing. split screen women/men or something, non stop.

yeah, split screen is such an easy solution, can't fathom why they don't use it more! they did it for like 30 seconds in the whole thing to show some Farah stuff

First in a series of blog posts BY YUKI. The links to the other parts are in the above.

"I’ve always done 4 to 6-hour trail runs, but last summer I started doing a lot more of them. Using the Shin-Etsu Trail I ran longer than 45 km two days in a row and jogged more than 40 km three times in a single week. In the fall I even started doing ultra long-distance jogs on flat ground. In October I ran 100 km mostly along the Tone River from Shibukawa, Gunma to my house in about 7 1/2 hours. Leading up to Fukuoka I did a lot of 50 km jogs which I hadn’t usually done in the past."

oof! And his jogs aren't so slow. 100km in 7.5 hours is 4:30/km or 7:15/mile. I mean slow for him, of course, but I had got the impression from how others were talking about it that these jogs were like 10+/mile

Sick quote (and very adarq) in the second part:

"There’s nothing better than being fast for being competitive, but there’s an element of being competitive that you can’t learn just from being fast."

Re push vs pull -- idk how much of the difference in me is structural versus learned. I never liked pushups, or really pushing work in general, so I never did that much of it. I've had plenty of times where i basically just did pulling stuff, or really just focussed on pulling strength. As such my back musculature is just always more built up

Workout

Run -- 7.1mi in 54:39 [7:42 pace]

Notes

Nice run, just arbitrarily targeted half marathon pace + 1 min/mile. I guess it's in the halfway zone between threshold and easy running. Forgot my watch cable so not gonna be on Strava for a couple of days, haha.

Did plenty of SL glute bridges and and SL deadlifts amd various plank variations after workout.

Workout

NG Chins
BW x 10, 10, 8

Pushups
BW x 15, 13, 10

SS1A Unsupported KB Rows
24 x 6, 6

SS1B KB OHP
16 x 5, 5

Notes

Hip flexor just a little sore today, tried a couple strides of running and figured it was best not to run today. It's not bothering me in day-to-day stuff, at least. Not super surprised that it wouldn't be feeling great when running today, given that glutes + general hip stability stuff is quite sore/fatigued from yesterday. Rest it is! Gotta keep building up that hip strength and stability though, so must keep in hill work + core/hip strength circuits after runs too.

Felt antsy for exercise, though, so did some much neglected upper body stuff. Glad I can still hit 10 chins. Gotta stay consistent with this, get that number to 20 and lean down. I'll be faster and look better, unbeatable combo...

I'm so bad at pushups, lol. Just never had a time in my life when I did them consistently. Probably lots of times when I could do more chins than pushups.

Workout

Run --

4.5mi, overall easy but with 4 fairly hard hill reps in there

4 x ~8 second hill sprints

~1.7 mi cooldown jog

Total 6.54mi in 1hr

Notes

Solid workout, fucking melted in the heat though, haha, it's in the 20s/70s now. I'll adapt, but for now it's a little rough.

Doing hill reps and short hill sprints to improve running specific strength, feels good. Going up a 350m long hill with first half ~5% grade and second half ~10-15% grade is nice work.

Hip flexor a little tender, but feeling okay.

Might pick up some sunglasses for running, haha.

Did some single leg deadlifts, single leg bridges and other general hip/glute strengthening stuff after this run. Just trying to be judicious about all that.

Workout

Run -- 4.05mi in 35:15

Notes

Started out real easy and warmed up very thoroughly beforehand. Hip flexor feels totally fine, which is great.

Legs felt quite tired, I guess really they're just now slightly un-used to running, I'm sure by the end of this week I'll be back in the flow.

Might go check out a yoga class later today. Edit: gonna hold off for a week on this actually, let body get used to running again before adding an extra stimulus

Ran in high 60s weather and am dripping with sweat, haha, gonna get into the 70s this week.

The poet Auden narrated this documentary about the runner Bruce Kidd. It's a pretty gorgeous film.

how did you find this gem? that was excellent.

reading old posts on a lit website, haha! was shocked to see it there

I have to say that I generally don't really like Auden, except for his light verse. My preferred poem inspired by Breughel's Icarus is definitely the William Carlos Williams one:

According to Brueghel
when Icarus fell
it was spring

a farmer was ploughing
his field
the whole pageantry

of the year was
awake tingling
near

the edge of the sea
concerned
with itself

sweating in the sun
that melted
the wings’ wax

unsignificantly
off the coast
there was

a splash quite unnoticed
this was
Icarus drowning
