- supportive speed
-- warm up
-- 2 x [2 km @ 108-110% MP, 400m jog]
-- cool down
at the track, yay. Rx was 4 x 2 km, cut it in half in line with phily bowden's recommendation (40-50% volume reduction) for a first post-illness workout. considered doing 3 x 2 but decided discretion the better part of valor. reps were a little on the fast side, 3:59 and 4:00 average.

evening

- squat 225 x 4,4
weak, not surprising

- calf raise 225 x 6,6

- superset x 2
-- TTB x 5
-- pull up x 5

something better than nothing.

unbelievably, headache lingered into today. gonna shuffle some things around after watching a recent video phily bowden made about adapting plans (e.g., when you get sick) and hopefully won't lose too much!

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

feel worse today illness-wise: headache/head fog, cough is more frequent, nose is running more and feels stopped up when i'm prone. i also realized that i haven't slept very well since at least tuesday night. frustrating, but really seems like taking a day off is the wise choice.

ETA: red hare pro 9's came, ordered a half size up and they are too small. length is fine but they're a little too narrow and (bigger issue) the volume is too low. damn it.

Notes

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.

- MP run
-- warm up + strides
-- 15 km @ MP (4:28 average)
-- cool down
carrying a fair amount of fatigue into this and i guess being sick didn't help. RPE 8.5, breathing wasn't hard, despite the lingering cough/chest congestion, but legs felt heavy and stiff from the jump and that carried through. Rx was 9-10 miles but to modulate based on fatigue and not let it get too hard, hence stopping when i did. first time wearing AP4s, they were okay.

ETA: hours later, still getting the weird involuntary muscle twitches in my lower legs that i associate with half marathon races. guess my legs really are tired.

Run

- 8 x (3'10" on / 1' off) [4:15 average]
- c/d

11.82k, 1:03:41

Notes

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.
