- SubT 3 x 10 mins
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:23-24
-- cool down
run around midday and school is back in session so had to do on streets instead of track, i.e., with terrain/elevation change. slower than i've been as a result. on the plus side, less boring.

- run 1:37:13, 17.65 km w/ 3 x 10s hill strides
warm and humid but not hot and a fresh breeze helped this feel pretty nice.

Run - 10.09k, 1:05:56
Gym cardio - 58:45, 122 avg hr

Notes

Was worried I had overdone the achilles yesterday since the left side was pretty sore in the evening. Basically pain free today and running was totally fine. First 10k run in a good while! And 10 mins more on the backend of the gym cardio, too. Especially pleased since I probably did like 8-10 sets of calf raises to near failure -- first meaningful calf DOMS in a while.

Said this last week as well, but man I just feel so good after long super easy session (with a bit of carbs in there). Just so relaxing.

Upper lifting later.

22-08-26

Cardio -
Run - 2 x 3k, w/ 90" rest [4:11-4:20], 9.39k, 48:13 total
Elliptical - 5 x (4' on / 1' off) [HR in 160s], 50:05 total w/ extended cooldown

Lift -
OL Calf - +55 x 5, 4, 3
BSS - +80 x 5, 4
RDL - 130 x 5
Rev Nord  - +8 x 3 + BW x 3
then a few more sets of high rep calf raise stuff (10-30), probably did too much

Notes

Interestingly, both of the cardio segments worked out as 49 load on intervals.icu; i guess it's just easy running that gets a higher load score for me vs corresponding hr efforts for just 'cardio'.

Gym work 96 (groin injury)

Zercher forward lunges (each leg): 20x5, 40x5, 40x5, 50x5 (felt great)
Leg press (single leg): 40x15, 60x15, 80x15, 100x15
Leg press (both legs): 150x20, 150x20
Bench press (wide grip): 20x10, 50x10 (could've done 13), 50x10 (could've done 11), 50x10 (max attempt)
Landmine deadlifts (each leg): bar+25kgx8, bar+40kgx8, bar+50kgx8, bar+50kgx8 (with straps, all time :personal-record:)
Chinups: 10 (could've done 12)
Seated calf raises: 10x15, 20x15, 20x15
Standing single leg calf raises: 15x10, 15x10

Workout time: 15:30-16:30
Workout duration: 1h
Bodyweight in the morning: 88.3 kg (same weight)
Exhaustion level: 11/10

Comments: One of the greatest workouts this year. The Zercher forward lunges felt great and will continue to do them, they seem jump specific, loading that leg forward in the plant. I'm doing leg presses for quad development, to provide some stimuli to my injured right leg. Felt good. Bench press was exactly like the last time, the last rep is a max attempt.

I've got straps with me this time and I tried Landmine deadlifts with 50 kg and could do it really well - for the right leg it seems like an 8RM but the left one I think can do 60-70 kg. Chinups were very strong, given that they were done at the end when I was terribly tired. In fact, I'm putting the exhaustion level to 11 since I can barely stand straight, my glutes shake and vibrate just standing.
