running motivation super low at the moment. got home from work and just quit on myself.   

- push ups x 14,19,14,14,20

- SMR calves/soleus

- stretch

Don't stress too much mate. I'm in the same boat at the moment. Not much motivation, busy with other things too. Take some of the pressure off.

this but also, if I were lbss, i'd do more free-form sprint/stride work.. light trot, hard stride/sprint, no set distances/paces etc. just having fun recruiting more MU's occasionally. some people need that.. like I believe LBSS does, and I definitely do.

that kind of training is not very taxing at all and very enjoyable.. slow/moderate/or hard running, strict intervals/repeats etc, are all rough.

could even be walk/sprint instead of trot/sprint etc.

some people need that MU recruitment.. it's kind of like needing to do max jumps etc. if u need it, feed it.

i personally don't know anyone in the local scene who was ever into dunking/jumping/max sprinting, and now runs distance.

we are a bit different on here. that jump/dunk background adds a different element.

this is also good advice, as usual. will try.

last night

had to go straight to an event from work but had some time between to go to the gym in the office building's basement.

- progression run (treadmill) x 10 min @ 11.5 kph, 5 min @ 12.5 kph, 5 min @13.5 kph, ~7 min @ 11.5-->10 kph

- push up x 15,14,13,12
forgot to look up the proper sets beforehand and there was no signal in the gym at work. will redo this scheduled day.

- stretch

- frisbee x 75 mins

- stretch

- run x 6.5 km in 34:26, strides 3 x 150m w/walk back recovery
right knee pulled on the strides but stuck with it. third rep less pulling than first fwiw. knee a little achey after but it's already going away. max speed was 33kph according to garmin, which is not bad since strides were all uphill: the track is on a slight slant. translates to a 10.9 100. 

- pull up x 5,4,3,4,5

- stretch

great conditions: 50s, light mist, soft track because it rained yesterday but not so hard that it was really muddy, no wind.

- run 8.01 km in 41:24
didn't feel great, although calves were fine so that's good. died a little in last km (5:23), bringing average to 5:10, which is a touch slow but nbd. i've definitely lost a bit of fitness but that's no surprise.

- stretch

- run 8.60 km in 44:16

- stretch

did not check pace. was all over the place but ended at 5:08 pace so w/e.
