cool, yeah, just keep me posted. we'll make it work at some point!

- extensive tempo (treadmill): run 2km @ 11kph; 2km @ 15.1 kph; walk x 5 mins; 1.5km @ 15.1kph; 1.5km @ 10kph

- stretch
got a bit deeper into hip opening than i have in a while. some work to do there if i'm going to start lifting again. stiff.

race pace training on the treadmill between classes today. was a bit too close to lunch so i had to run through a minor side stitch. no big deal, good to know.

- run 11.16 km in 55:21

- stretch

absolutely flawless running conditions: mid-50s/~13 degrees, zero to light breeze, blue sky. the weather makes a big difference in set pace: on a normal 10-11 km run i'm happy with 5:03-08 and four breaths in-four breaths out. today i was at 4:58 and five in-five out.

it rules. come to london in the spring and experience the briskness.

no workouts since wednesday because i was moving and doing school stuff and that took up all time and energy from thursday morning until about 6 PM today.

- run 15.28 km in 1:22:56
on the plus side, forced rest meant running far and light felt very easy. on the minus side, had to poop for roughly the last 90% of this run, which sucked. also felt a little something in my left shin in the first km or so but it went away quickly and didn't recur.

- stretch
low back a little tired.

last night

- extensive tempo/progression: warm up x 2 km; 3 km in [4:21, 4:12, 4:04]; cool down x 1.5 km
this felt tougher than it ought to have, not sure why.

- stretch

today

- run 11.16 km in 55:34
did not check watch except once, ended up at easy <5:00 pace. nice. very windy around my place, which is up kind of high (for london). once i got into the canals, much less wind.

Flaked yesterday on intensive tempo: errands took longer than expected, my brother called and needed help with something, could have gone out lateish but was hungry and allowed myself to just make dinner and eat. Annoyed at self.

today

- run 14.05 km with fartlek of [60s on/60s off x 10]

- stretch

Door to door with two laps of Victoria Park is almost exactly 14k. Nice..

- extensive tempo/race pace practice: run 3 km, 2km @ [3:57, 3:55], run 3 km
first race pace km downhill, second one started with a 180-degree turnaround (i.e. a full stop) and was then uphill but still managed a negative split. breathing a bit hard by the end but no lactic buildup, which is good: didn't want to tax legs too much today. plan is to do that on saturday.

- stretch

total time 39:16, total distance 7.99 km (lol).

yeah, i've been feeling pretty good the last few weeks (knock wood). the shin thing from last week seems to have been nothing. just signed up for a race on 23 november on what's apparently a super flat course. that's the target now. i might do one or two before then as well but without tapering, just to practice racing and push myself in competition a bit. for example was thinking to do one of the local parkruns this saturday (see previous post about taxing the old legs a little extra this weekend).

tonight

- run 10.09 km in 50:24
turned right out the front door rather than left tonight just to try something different. it was really crowded and lots of road crossings so pace was all over the place, but averaged 5:00 and felt absolutely breezy. this route was uphill first then downhill, which is the opposite of when i run down past the olympic park and to the canals, so final 2km were extra quick with no added effort.

EDIT: gukl and joe, y'all wanna do the hackney marshes parkrun on saturday morning?

Hey man - so I'm going out with some friends on Friday night and am coming off a run of night shifts so the chances of me getting up in time for park run are slim to none - also staying all the way out in edgeware this weekend which is a bit of a journey to Hackney.

Would perhaps be keen for a longer steady run on the Sunday morning however?

fair enough, that does not sound like a recipe for saturday morning success. sunday morning's probably out for me since my partner gets back from india at like 7 AM. next time, inshallah.

- run 13.04 km in 1:06:38
middle ~5.5km with joe. really beautiful weather for a run.

ended up going out with some classmates last night and decided not to drag myself to a 9 AM race. wasn't out that late and didn't get drunk. but body was like, don't set an alarm. afternoon solo effort instead. 

- run 2 km; 3km test in 11:37 (3:40, 3:58, 3:59); run 2 km
splits were downhill-downhill/uphill-uphill. second km included a 180 turnaround i.e. full stop. only other time i've done a 3km test was straight-line and net downhill so this is definitely an improvement. sub-20 5k pace on each split. the last km was starting to suck, power going out of legs. had to dig a bit to get under 4:00.

- stretch

lessons:
1. don't go out too fast
2. my hard work needs to be harder. the base is getting there but i doubt i could have held onto sub-4 even for one more km, let alone two. more time in discomfort zone, or more discomfort within the same amount of time. or maybe a mix.
3. new bright orange adios 4's look sharp but are not as comfy out of the box as kinvaras. oh well.
