fairly miserable out, 39 degrees and raining. got started too late to do the normal sunday long run so i'll just do it another day this week. last week of freedom before work starts on the 11th!

2020 would end with news that one of the greatest died (apparently on halloween). RIP.

- run 59:48, 12.35 km
bit colder, mid-40s. wore t-shirt and gloves, worked fine. my right hand, for some reason, gets colder than my left. slight negative split, as i turned around exactly at 30:00. allowed breathing to shorten to three steps each per in breath and out breath on the hill that's right before the final km home, just for a few hundreds meters, so as not to slow down. good to get practice maintaining pace uphill.

suddenly i want to subscribe to kneesovertoesguy and get to dunking again. bad timing because covid means difficult to get to the gym consistently even if i had a membership. really what it means is i should resolve to double down on running in 2021 and get to sub-19 while running is the main thing i can do.

ATG does have some no-equipment programs it looks like. folks on here who are devoted to ATG: thoughts on those? or signing up in general if i'm not gonna immediately go back into training for strength/jumping?

EDIT: also, especially because i'm shifting away from programmed workouts and keeping most runs easy to very easy, i'm gonna stop programming rest days. burnout is not a worry right now.

- run 1:49:47, 20.36 km
average pace 5:24 is a bit high but there were several stops and one section of walking that didn't register because i paused the watch. with those accounted for it was closer to 5:50 i'd guess.

knees a little sore post-run. new shoes felt good though. not great. RIP good-era kinvaras.

hey welcome to the forum. what kind of wrist pain was it? speaking from experience, it's easy to get excited about a new program or new exercise and dive into it too fast and then strain something. be careful, especially since it seems like you've jumped right into a fairly big volume of (low-intensity, but still) plyos.

what's your jumping baseline? i.e., how much higher do you need to get from right now before you can dunk?

- run 52:30, 10.84 km
again a little quick (4:51 average) but i wasn't breathing hard and every split on the way home (i.e., uphill) was under 5:00 so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

welcome back. is there a reason your RVJ reps are so low? greasing that groove was really important for me, a fellow not-very-high jumper. i'd do 4-5 from a short approach before i even did my first one from a full (four-step) run up. you might think about doing more RVJ, or putting them earlier in the workout, or both. just a thought.
