- run 2:55:53, 32.32 km
let myself not worry about keeping HR down, overall average 134 but it crept up into the 150s over the final few km, especially (obviously) on climbs. i got a little lost toward the end, forgot that the route i ended up on has a section of busy road with no sidewalk or shoulder. oops. ended up a couple miles from home still when i hit 20 miles (which was the planned distance) and walk/jogged it from there. not logged.

knees got a little achy and also the evo SL's most famous problem - the tongue and laces kind of suck - reared its head for the first time for me. left tongue started sliding over and rubbing against my shin after about 25 km, had to bend down to correct it a few times. mildly annoying. but no posterior knee issues, no ITB issues. right plantar flexor just a wee bit at the beginning.

Run -- 15.3k, 1:30:58

Lift --
2 x (
1A OH DB Extension
1B Lateral Raise
1C Hammer Curl
)

OL Calf Raise 4 x drop [+44kg, +20kg, BW]


Notes

HR chest strap been weird lately. Took like 2k to register a number above 75, and had a 3k block where it was stuck 165-185. Annoying. I have the watch optical HR turned off, so it shouldn't be a stride lock issue. Not sure what's up with that.

Anyway, first 75k week in the books. Only niggle is left foot pain. Dug out my calf stretch stand thingy. Not for stretching, but to use as a base for OL Calf Raises. The steps near my DBs are too painful to do barefoot with +44kg and the comfortable step far enough away that lugging vest + db to it puts me off from sticking to calf raises. Shd do them 2x week.

ETA: 'fitness' (i.e. chronic training load) is at all time high of 47 per intervals.icu now. previous peak was 46, which was when i got injured end of june -- took a while to rebuild but here we are! big luls in aug/sept meant it took a long time to climb back even with a bunch of big weeks, so i think i'm more than 1 point fitter, and the number will go up plenty fast now that i'm hitting 380+ load weeks regularly.

Notes

God running is so much more fun after 9 hours sleep, a coffee, a good breakfast, and 2 hours of being awake. Compare this to last Saturday where I did 11x3 in 'weekday conditions' and was at around 4:28 pace.

focused on keeping HR down. couldn't keep it below 130 on the steepest part of the climb - this route is basically down and then up - but averaged 126 overall, which is nice and easy.
