PT treadmill. PT is an incredibly valuable resource since I can finally address all the unique issues I have when running. Devised a temporary fix for my injury, things are looking much better. It’s also my last day of being 16.

35:00

All I could fit in of crosstraining before PT

3.0 mi

Two mile lightspeed warmup, 1 rep of a mile at 5:50 pace. Switched to the elliptical but pain is getting a little better

36:00

5 min warmup, 4x6 min elliptical threshold. Got my HR higher here than I did on the treadmill which was surprising

20:00

Weights, I pushed pretty hard and it felt good to exert myself

50:00

50 mins elliptical no pain

Feels good to move

4.0 mi

25 minute warmup no pain. 2x6 hills at KLM was all I was able to manage until the pain returned worse than it was on Thursday. I’ll take all the measures necessary to get better, but damn, this shit seriously sucks.

No activity. Picked a terrible day to see the field museum and walked past hell (lollapalooza).

No activity. All methods of cross training caused pain except pure core/hiit.

No hills since I’m trying to reduce worsening my injury. First workout I’ve skipped in over two years but it’s alright

Treadmill. Ate an entire loaf of bread in the Whole Foods next door and got some stares. They probably know me by now as I’ve done this about three times. Good carbs Happy birthday smith and miller!

2000, 2000, 1600, 1600, 800 at threshold with weights following. Took it out fast with johnny and then DIED to a comical point. I was more proud of Bart and my sub 3 800 than I’ve been of some races. Hot stuff but we got the heart rate where it needed to be - if anything, the heat is better since you don’t have to run as fast to hit the GZI. Feeling like remy the rat with these meals

Visited family for the first time in ages and paid respects to my granddad. Felt pretty restless after our road trip so I got some quick mileage in.
