just for the run of it

yay so upped to 1.5 and my calves tightened but no pain so still a good sign i think. got back and biked 55min with 4x5min hill climb and 3min rest. also did mixed body weights abs&hips. also was a baller and shot mikes water bottle into the trash can across the fitness center lol

1.5 breezy miles and no pain, so ill up to 2 tomorrow. also jamie said i get to do a tiny bit of the speed on the track tomorrow! after running did 65min biking with 4 sets of 5min 70% 1 min 90% and then 5min rest. did abs&hips then some stretchy stuff. 

abs&hips in the morning. did 10 min bike warm-up then bike speed wo was 3x3:30 4x2:15 2x1:00 all with 90 sec rest. in the middle did 2x400s on the track with my group @"2mile" pace lol hit 80,82. went back finished the wo on bike, cooled down for 55min total then went for a mile more. my calves started hurting a lot so i think tomorrow i'm just gonna cross train. not really sure if i'm gonna race next friday or not after today cause i wanna make sure i'm racing at simplot but i guess we will see how things go. 

so sad but no run today. just biked 85 min recoveryish and abs&hips.

ran 2 and felt good. did 30min biking with some medium/"sprint" minutes thrown in. lifter lower body and then abs&hips. feeling good today and if doing speed tomorrow goes well then i'm racing the 800 on friday.

today was simply amazing. did mile wu then 2x400-200 with 45 sec rest between reps and 3min rest between sets. hit 82, 37, 78, 37. really nice cause i was scared i wouldn't be able to keep up with the girls but ya know it was really a confidence booster and helped me realize i am putting in the work but in a different way and i'm ready to come back so so strong. hopped on the bikes to finish the wo which was 4x90sec @mile effort 45 sec rest then 45 sec back on with 3min rest between sets. i was able to really push myself and i really think i'm pushing down a barrier that's been here the last few weeks dragging me down. cooled down for 30min and did abs&hips and an ice bath. 

was planning on 2.5 but ended up walking the last .25 cause my calves were having a lot of pain, it was a rough go today. still trying to keep positive tho. biked 47 min with 20min at a medium highish effort. did some stretching and abs&hips.

running hurt. biked 50min w/ some hill climbs. not racing tomorrow. 

did speed on the bikes. wu then 10x1min pickups with 1min rest. pretty much thrashed my legs on every rep cause i wanted to take this workout with race effort. feel satisfied with my work and cd for 60min. ran 2.5 with watson guppy and some lp girls and felt amazing so YAY

morning with bryn. biked 45min with 4x3min rolling hills. then ran 2.5, hurt at first but got relatively better as i went on. sweethearts tonight is gonna be so lit 🔥🔥

did .5 wu then 3x400s at mile pace but i was kinda excited and felt really good and hit 78. 75, 76. cd for 2.5. hopped on bikes and did 1 set of 8x20sec hard and 10sec rest which was so killer cause the rest was spent changing resistance. finished up biking for 25min and then did abs&hips. shoutout to zack cause i saw him at the developmental center yesterday and shoutout to mike for making sweethearts legendary. 

what a stellar day, ran more than i biked (: we ran down love lane in honor of valentine's day and i finished up to 3 with bryn. got back and biked 22min with a 15min endurance ride with my heart rate around 140ish. did abs&hips and good stuff. 

mile wu then 2x400s for premeet. hit 78, 80. feeling alrightish. cd for 3 then biked 20min. threw in a 10min hill climb. we will see how racing goes tomorrow. 

woah what a day. got to simplot at like 2pm lol and chilled and did hw and card games until i started watching races and wow so much crazy stuff, it got me pumped. HUGE shoutout to parker and mike for qualifying for finals. went on a wu with guppy kaylee and bryn and we talked about cemeteries and dead people which wow, what a way to prep for a race. was feeling very nervous in the bullpen, did some strides and tried to calm myself even tho two legends were in my heat, brie oakley and guppy struthers. planned to actually just stick at the back of the pack and see how that felt. gun went off and lol thought i had bad position cause i wasn't in the very back but i just thought, oh well, we can see how this goes. just stuck beside some girls for the first 600, then decided to pull up, because believe or not, i use this tactic in bike workouts to make sure i don't kill myself too fast but slowly build up. came in 800 @ 2:42 and thought hey let's keep this going. my team was cheering pretty loudly so i started moving up about 500 to go. last 400 built a pretty strong kick and barely outkicked a girl at the end cause i wasnt gonna lose a finals spot to one person smh. so didn't even know my time or anything but man did i love racing again, even tho i proceeded to collapse and felt like throwing up cause i haven't done speed like that in awhile. but then i found out i got a pr! and finals! and my good pal guppy is going too (: got on a cd and was fine til the last little bit and my calves ached very much but hopefully they know they need to get better cause they gotta race again. man if you're still reading this shoutout to you cause i'm writing this at 2am so idk if it even sounds sane.

some easy recovery miles then 3x100m strides to get the legs moving. got back and biked 20min but didn't do the wo cause my legs were pretty tired and i want to keep them fresh for tomorrow. did abs&hips and ice bath.

wu then did strides, legs felt pretty tired. i felt the first lap was too slow but didn't do much to change my pace. felt like i raced basically the same as thursday but my legs were a lot more tired and i didn't have the same kick. still had fun tho, and even tho i'm not super happy about the time, i gave a good effort and im still getting back into training so i can't be too disappointed. as you can see my cd was a lot longer than it should've been but i really needed to just run some more and i was with mario who had 2.5 left so i ran it all. my legs kinda hurt after but assuming they're ok, i might try 4 (consecutive) on monday (:

aww man s/o to sami for coming today it was such a party and i loved it so much. biked before for 30min with 2x6min medium effort with 30sec sprint. on the down side of things, the last mile hurt to the point i considered walking so i think these next few days will be 3, but i mean slowly but surely i'll get back. 

did 3 w/ 5x100m strides. felt mostly better today. also biked a pretty lonely 40min with 6x90sec easy, 2min medium, 90sec rest. james and tommy were there for the first part tho and they are some pretty hilarious kids so that was a win. 

first full speed workout on the track!! did mile wu then 2x200-400-200 with 60sec between reps and 5min between sets plus some lunges. hit 36, 80, 33, 36, 76, 35. felt pretty solid except pain on the cd. however considering speed felt good i'm not too worried cause that was the ultimate problem in the first place. biked for 40min which actually went way fast today and felt really good. solid day, 11/10 would reccomend 

massage therapist guy said i have a pretty tight soleous on my right calf and left calf has a lot of microtears which really isn't anything more than information but kinda nice to more know about it. run today was manageable and towards the end felt really good. biked 60min with 40min at a decent resistance and kept my heart rate between 130-145ish. did abs&hips and upper body arm wo. s/o to thom and riley for getting their mission calls today!!

mile wu then 2miles @easy run pace, 7:36 then 7:34 then half mile cd. felt pretty good. got on bikes and did 55min with 2 sets of 5min medium 2min sprint 4min medium 1min sprint 5min medium 3min sprint. pushed it pretty hard. abs&hips and collin gave me a rollout.

did abs&hips then 3.5 with bryn and it was completely pain free (: just did a nice little loop. biked 40min with bryn and did 5 rolling hills (3 up 2 down). then did some aqua jogging with 5 sets of 5min on 1min rest for a total of 25min. kinda long but good workout.

biked 30min distance riding then abs&hips. warmed up .5 then 4x400s @goal outdoor mile pace. didn't even use my watch but was doing super well pacing. hit 78 79 78 79. the real bummer of the day was i was supposed to do the whole workout but the 4th rep my calves seized up and i gave everything to finish it. jamie sent me inside to finish on the bikes so did 3x60sec pick ups with 3min rest and finished for 20min. don't really know what's going on and why or how or what or anything

bikes today. did 70min with 10x3min uphill climbs, 1min rest. s/o to jhoan for the quote of the day, "if you don't like gan and watson, you aren't human"
