Run
- w/u
- 10 x (3' on / 1' off) [4:02 avg]
- c/d

13.02, 1:08:37

Lift
RDL, Rev Nordics, Pistol Squat, Curl, Lateral, Chins, Dips

Note

HR a little higher than normal, but that included w/u and RHR. Don't think I'm overtrained (feel rested, fresh, no notable niggles, energy is good). Just in a higher than usual work stress moment, plus interviewing for a new role at a place I'm pretty excited about, plus more insane family stuff. It's a bit much, really, but my support system is good so I'm getting through it.

 :personal-record: 30 days in a row of running! not a PR for most consecutive days of cardio (that is apparently 49 days from last July/August, but that as majority incline walking and such), but still, woop!

ETA: realised that the only day of the last 44 on which I did not run was one on which I got up at 4am to take a 14 hour flight 8 time zones east. Think this is functionally a 43 day streak then, imo.

Think I've now tied longest running streak, with 29 days. No niggles of not so let's keep that going.

If I somehow run a sub 19:00 5k and my easy runs are still > 6:00/k...

First legit long run in a while. Felt solid, didn't have the 'bone rattling' sensation at all, which is great. Good that 'durability' feels like it's still somewhat there. This is already at ~target HM length, so extending it from here is all upside.

69k, 6:51 time on feet for the week, 362 load. Fitness has hit 43. All pretty much on pace (well load ahead of schedule, but I realised that would be the case a few weeks ago when I realised that my E calculations were off, and fitness behind schedule due to a couple of meh weeks).

Been lax on strength stuff again, will try to do a little this afternoon. That said, wonder if the quality of this week was partly owing to spare recovery from that. Hmm! Want to keep my muscle in any case, so that sacrifice will have to be made.

Also on that note, BW is coming down. Avg low mid 72s now. Post-Singapore, appetite has totally normalised (less of that constant hunger I was feeling over much of the last few months). Don't know what the reason for that is exactly, but glad for it. I'm fairly lean, but keeping feeling well-fed and energised while dropping to ~70 could be some nice free gains for racing.

Boom.

ETA: working backards from the 5k time : pace chart in the NST book, recent sessiosn are putting me ~19:00k 5k, which would be a massive PR. 10 weeks to Hackney, now. Really go to try and hit a Parkrun and see how real this is. If I do that next week and hit a big PR, then at like 5 weeks out if I'm still feeling good I might hit some bigger 'special block' type workouts to eke just a little extra and see if I can get to sub 1:25...

Well, that's a crisp pace! Same effort, same HR, just had some bounce somehow.

Weird sesh, some slow segments but mostly due to some bits being uphill with wind etc.

More good sleep. Got carried away with another task this AM and didn't leave myself enough time for this. Also been lax on lifting this week, but still >6 hr and the SubT stuff was all solid. Hopefully proper sleep and a less busy week to come means I'll be getting towards the 7 hour mark or so.

Got my 8 hours in and feel so much better. Was super windy and fool that I am I did a lot of the reps on the most exposed boulevard in the park, so was 'artificially' slow. Last two reps I moved into cover and they were 4:06 and 4:08, though, with no increase in effort. Fitness! With sleep normalised, hoping I can make it to a Parkrun next week to benchmark.
