Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: warpspeed to the new scenario
« on: August 30, 2018, 06:01:42 am »
Update:
Didn't manage to sort out hip so got discourage and didn't do much exercise for a month or so, then took up climbing. Didn't really know how to log it, but I've been bouldering 2-3 times a week for a while. This week I injured something in my left hand so can't climb for a couple weeks. Stupid body hates me. Seems like lifting is the only thing that doesn't wreck me.

« on: July 06, 2018, 01:18:03 pm »you been reading hanif abdurraqib?
nope? i think i have seen them on twitter a fair bit though. any particular reason you mention/particular recommendations?
he refers to friends very often as "pals," which you did in a recent post. it's unusual, most people i know don't use that word. i just read they can't kill us until they kill us, which i liked okay -- at his best he's brilliant and unique, nobody else writes about music like that -- but which got old before i finished. better encountered in bits and pieces i think.
cool cool! sounds like something to pick up a copy of and keep by the bed for dipping in and out of.
idk where the pals thing comes from, tbh. i often just take a liking to a word like that

Workout
Run -- 3.46mi in 32:33 [9:23 pace]
Including 6 strides just scattered through the second half of the run.
Notes
Felt decent. This pace seems like where I should really be for easy runs at the moment -- feels more like what I'm used too from easy running earlier in the year. Bit disappointing that it is this much slower, but hopefully fitness will come back quicker.
Hip was a bit tight from the last run so I took a couple days off. Hoping that this easier pace will keep things a bit smoother, but we'll see.

Workout
Run -- 4.66mi in 41:33 [8:54 pace]
w/ same pal
Notes
Took two days off as hip feeling a little bit tight. Not pain, so it's good, just being careful.
The pal my last few runs have been with is staying with me for a couple more days, so I'll be back to solo runs soon. Looking forward to getting back into solo runs again though, haha. I like running with people as a change, but it doesn't suit me as the primary way to train.
Shall also start throwing in strides in the second half of these runs.

« on: July 01, 2018, 10:18:28 am »My main goal right now is chipping away at that "elite fitness". I haven't been doing any sharpening, specializing, etc. Just keep chipping away at the mileage/frequency + racing alot. I feel like that's the best approach right now. Need to be in "better shape" than any1 I compete against, even if they are faster over X distance.
out.
work.
everyone.
This is basically the approach of my very fast friend I've spoken to you about. He runs basically every day, at least ~7 miles, and does a park run most weeks. Do that for long enough with enough miles and then hit some sessions when you're prepping for a particular race and you'll be hard to beat, I reckon.

Catch-up post:
15-06-18
Run -- ~2.5mi in ~22 mins [didn't have watch for this one]
19-06-18
Run -- 3.8mi in 32:54 [8:30 pace, probs too fast]
22-06-18
Run -- 4.0mi in 36:18 [8:56 pace]
24-06-18
Run -- 4.5mi in 39:57 [8:47 pace]
26-06-18
Run -- 5.3mi in 48:28 [9:06 pace]
Ran with a friend, stayed totally conversational pace.
28-06-18
Run -- 5.3mi in 46:55 [8:53 pace]
Ran with same friend.
Notes
Holy fuck I can run again. So happy
Going to keep to every other day for a while, I think. Fitness feels like it's coming back. HR readings from watch do not feel accurate for whatever reason, so I'm ignoring them and going by feel. First few runs logged here was probably a bit faster than conversational pace, but running a bit fast feels safer, in a way, because my form is a bit more solid there.
It's been in the 80s for most of these runs, too, which as been killer. Can't wait to see how the heat adaptations pay off when autumn/winter come.
Still on for the Oxford half in the autumn, so hopefully can keep everything together long term here.

Workout
Run -- 2.92mi in 24:55 [8:50, 8:51 and 7:48 pace]
+ some ab wheel and rehab hip stuff
Notes
No hip issues in time since last run. Maybe a bit conservative with amount of time between them, but we'll see. Pain always recurred after the second run, so let's see. Form felt good on this one, too. Hopefully all good tomorrow and I can head out for another short on in a couple of days.
Here's another one for you!

Run -- 2.15mi in 19:23 [8:59 pace]
+ some rehab exercises and stretching
Notes
Felt good. Next run Saturday or Sunday, gonna keep them short for now so that I can maintain solid form the whole time. Want to make this stick, as I miss running a lot.

Notes
Picked up some looped resistance bands to use for more specific rehab stuff. Have some specific things in mind for ankle work + of course monster walks, etc., for hip/glute strengthening. Felt good + was fun messing around with stuff like that today.
Re ankle -- watching videos of me running + doing some general assessment it's pretty clear that I also supinate pretty heavily on my right side, which is part of the floppy right leg thing. Part of this is the lack of ankle mobility. My right foot has a hard time lying flat even at the best of times, so naturally it'll supinate when running. For an example of what I mean, check out this assessment:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOP9wyn7D3g" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOP9wyn7D3g</a>
My left leg is totally fine with this, but my right sucks ass, can barely get past vertical. This is a holdover from an ankle injury from ~8 years ago now, I suspect. So I'm gonna use the bands to strengthen the muscles in the ankle/leg/foot that are responsible for that movement, while working on general mobility/flexibility stuff in the area. What's odd is that the the muscles feel fairly flexible from my fairly regular stretching for gastroc/soleus, but they don't feel like what is responsible for this lack of mobility.
Basically I think if I can improve ankle strength/mobility at the same time as continuing to improve glute function my right leg will get in order well.
