Blake Bennions running

Ran on canal road, with Jake for the first 5. Just went by feel after he was done. Glad I'm not doing 10x2k today. Legs were feeling achy.

Sauna. Planning on rest days and hard or long days for Suana.

Overall enjoyable run but my legs are still feeling a little tired and sore. Might just do some strides tomorrow if they're not 100%, I'm committed to getting them to feeling no soreness/fatigue before going back to hard workouts. Been working on hip mobility and glut/hamstring drills lately.

Easy run with 1 minute push. Legs generally feel good and ready to go but my calves are still tight and sore. I'm hoping Friday they'll feel 100% and I'll do 6x800m.

Extra recovery day. No core or anything that could get any muscles sore. I decided the best option is to take an extra day off, bathe legs, Suana, yoga, recovery drink. My legs are very close to 100% and just have some really stubborn tightness and sensitivity, if this doesn't get me to 100% then I'm just going to call it good enough and go for 6x800m at 5k pace tomorrow regardless.

I think it's really important to be conservative and stay on the safe side of overreaching but I am ready to do something fast.

Perfect sauna weather today.

Was going to do 6x1000m at hm pace with 400m jog recovery. Lacrosse team showed up right after my warm up. Someone waved me over going into the last lap of the 2nd and I guess I subconsciously through in a surge because I was right on pace at 600 (1:59) and then I ran a 73 last lap to finish in 3:12. Very confidence building, those 1000ms were feeling really easy.

Turned out it was Eric that waved at me but I didn't recognize him because he was wearing a hood. Turned out he'd brought his son and daughter there for a track workout. I adjusted my workout and ran 3x600m with Phillip in 2:06, 2:14, 2:13. Cooled down about a mile. Was very windy today but I felt great, nice to just get a little faster stuff on the track done. Next week I'll do a 5k pace workout and a tempo.

20 minute sauna.

Easy with Jake Kolten and Henry. I think this was the perfect week for where I'm at and allowing my body to catch up with recovery. Planning on 13-16 easy tomorrow and then getting back into actual workouts again next week.
