- climb x 40 mins
just working my way through all of the three easiest grades in the big room at the gym. extremely out of climbing shape, no surprise.

- dips x 10,10

- treadmill workout
-- warm up x 10 mins
-- 7 x [3 min @ 9.1mph, 1 min @ 5mph]
RPE 6. workout is from marathon excellence: 7 x 3 @90-92% 5k pace.

Jog to gym
Stairmaster x 10 mins
incline treadmill x 30 mins
OL CalF Raise 3 x drop
Jog home

Notes

left foot marginally better, but think it'll take a bit -- calf raises 'sore' but feel 'productive' in that left foot area

enjoying starting this with 10 brutal mins on stairmaster, getting up into 180s for HR. with lower impact stuff sans running don't mind being more free and loose with hr ranges

also feels nice to be doing some lifting regularly

thanks y'all! @kf, i do want to get out to hawaii at some point, never been. a destination ultra might be just the excuse...

- run 1:13:09, 14.00 km
was supposed to meet up with the running group for an easy pre-thanksgiving run but ran to the wrong intersection and decided to do a little uphill tempo to see if i could catch them. did manage it, but consequently this was not as short or as easy as it was supposed to be, lol. quads still definitely hurting a bit on the downhills.

Gym work 50:

Bench press:

20x5
20x5
40x5
70x5 ties all time :personal-record:
70x3
70x3


Dumbbell Bulgarian split squat (each leg):

60x8 (30 kg dumbbells)
60x8 (felt sick and nauseated, so only did 2 sets)

Seated V-grip cable pulls to chest:

4 pins x 10
6 pins x 10
8 pins x 10

Glute cable kickbacks:

5 small plates x 10
5 small + 1 big plates x 10
5 small + 2 big plates x 10

Bodyweight: 90.6 kg (same weight)
Exhaustion level: 10/10

Comments:

Felt shaky from the start, nauseated and without any mood to lift. Still, I managed to tie my all time bench press :personal-record:. 70x5 truly was a 5RM. The next two sets I only did 3 reps since I didn't have a spotter and didn't want to risk getting stuck.

The BSS were OK, but they drained me like hell. Felt like puking as I was doing them. Muscularly I was fine, but the overall feeling in my body was bad. My heart rate was 59 (versus my usual 52-53) during last night's sleep, which indicates I still have the virus in me (whatever virus it is, probably just a simple cold, since I have no symptoms today).

good job on the 50mile run.   :ibrunning: :ibrunning:

any plans in the future to run in hawaii? my younger sister does ultramarathons and hawaii is a very good destination spot for the ultra running community.
