Run -- 9.72k, 1:02:18

Lift -- chins, dips, curls, lateral raises

First hour+ run since the foot injury, and felt totally fine! If all is well, I'll aim for another oen tomorrow + lower-body lifting. Hype.

Run --
- w/u
- 2 x (1k @ 5:00, 1k @ 4:08) + 2k @ 5:00
- c/d

Total - 9.81k, 51:14

damn, how's your head?!

thankfully fine! had a bit of a sore spot at the back (likewise hip, elbow and shoulder) but seemed to get away with it overall! Probably distributing the impact across those four places rather than hitting any one in particular...may have played a role in taking yesterday off, though.

- track workout
-- warm up
-- 8 x [3 min @ 90-92% 5k w/ 45s jogging rest]
-- cool down
first few reps were too fast, like 4:10-4:14. then settled down, rest in 4:16-4:18. RPE 5. felt too easy, but i'm trusting the process.

Run -- 5.57k, 41:45

Dips + chins

Notes

genuinely thought i was running like 6:30 pace but was apparently 1min/k slower than that. Think this was natural adjustment to amount of ice on the ground. Having got through the run unscathed, I took a pretty heavy fall walking to work. Was a full on pratfall on black ice, fell back, smacked hip, shouulder, elbow and back of head. Shrugged it off + didn't feel like I took much damage at the time, but this evening I'm a bit achy.

this is exactly how i've been doing my lifting lately as well! fun, fast, efficient, and at the very least you can maintain  with a pretty load time input!

nice!

i should also add that a big drop set like 40kg x 3, 30kg x 4, 20kg x 4 (each taken to failure) also has many reps that are at or near failure

so if one subscribes to the idea that "effective reps are those near failure" well then i had plenty of effective reps in that one big drop set. so size gains are definitely stimulated. CNS gains are also stimulated by going very heavy at the start of the drop set, and via trying to fight through failure 3x in a row

- track workout
-- warm up (strides x 3)
-- 4 x [3 min @95% 5k, 1 min jog, 2 min @ 5k, 3 min jog]
-- cool down
standing rest after third set because the running club takes a picture every week and the timing lined up just right with that rest period. RPE 7. kept average pace in range on each rep (4:05-4:06 and 3:56), except the last set was a little too fast (4:00, 3:53), i guess thrown by the standing rest.

Foot still feeling okay! Little sore today, but not surprised given yesterday had calf raises + the run was in Altras
