Long ride with Aston, bit longer than expected but cool to get the hundred k in. Longest ride ever, pretty fun. Foot feeling better and better, will test on a short jog tomorrow.

ahr:117 max:164

Out on the cycle track north of Darebin and back. Nice sunny morning, feeling quite positive. Heel maybe the least painful it's been in a couple of months on waking this morning. Will keep up the proper treatment.

10 WU, 30x1min(1min), 10 WD. Good enough session watching some O, bit more frustrated about not being able to run. Will test on monday to assess but think based on improvements today it should hopefully be ok. Will be massively more serious about prehab now.

Cross Training 40:00 intensity: (26:19 @1) + (4:05 @2) + (9:20 @3) + (16 @4)
ahr:113 max:174

Woke up for normal pre brek but as expected my heels hurt after track because of tight calves. Jumped on the spinner for 40mina instead. Need to be careful with plantar fascia out here, hard ground isn't the best for it. Checked out the vid from last night, need to be way more aggressive at the start of track races to put myself in a position to challenge.

Cross Training 1:00:00 intensity: (32:52 @1) + (9:00 @2) + (15:31 @3) + (2:37 @4)
ahr:115 max:178 (injured)

Another hour on the spinner. From Tash pressing my heel and me squealing like a girl and some light googling, seems like Plantar Fascitis has appeared. To be honest, I've been feeling it coming on for a bit, heel sore when getting up and starting running. Seemingly flared up significantly from the track last night so hoping it'll settle down a bit. Long season ahead and I want to be running well. Feel as though at times I've been chasing stats and miles for the sake of it and almost competitively which isn't sensible. Being young (relatively) in the seniors, I'm also conscious of doing too much too young and absolutely wrecking myself before I've even really had the chance to have a crack. Am looking at cross training more generally in training, especially for easy stuff and then keeping the running quality. Will aggressively re/prehab it and won't try running until the pain has subsided. I think I could run just as well if not better by x-training and getting more strength in, could do with chatting to some coaches/other peeps about their thoughts, open to suggestions.

Vic Milers 1500m (D race).

Decided to enter this because basically I like racing and wanted to get back in to the swing of it. Never ran one before so plan was just to enjoy it and not stress about times, didn't look at my watch once. Start was way quicker than I expected and I ended up getting a bit frustratingly boxed for the first lap. Couple of gaps appeared so moved up to give myself some breathing room but didn't quite settle in to a spot. From there I just tried to slowly wind it up to the end which worked pretty well. Think I actually left it a bit late though as I felt I had a fair bit left in the tank at the end. Nice first outting and I think more importantly it's given me a little mojo back and a nice indicator that things are still moving ok despite a couple of sub-par weeks training wise. Going to try and get some sort of competitive race/session in each week now, I like it and think there's a lot of benefits to regular low-stress competition.

Running warm up/down 3:43 intensity: (11 @1) + (1:04 @2) + (2:28 @3) 0.66 km (5:37 / km) +4m 5:27 / km

ahr:165 max:179 shoes: Adidas Solar Glide 19

10x1min(30s) afterwards. Attempted to make it a hill session but didn't really work so varying gradients including some downhill reps too. Felt pretty good just shoving it out off feel.

Running 13:59 intensity: (9:18 @2) + (4:39 @3) + (2 @4) 3.0 km (4:39 / km) +45m 4:20 / km

Easy hour pre breakfast, bit tougher in the heat. Decided to enter the Vic Milers 1500 tomorrow night just for a bit of a tester. Never raced anything that short and haven't done the speed work for it but it'll be a good indicator to build from.
6 PM

ahr:166 max:185 shoes: New Balance Vazee Rush v2

Ran a SiS course from last year at La Trobe on the way back after dropping Mary at the airport. Kept everything controlled and felt good, keeping contact better than I have done recently. Running fairly comfortably, focusing on the navigation.

Followed by a long legs exercise Aston gave me. Focused on planning ahead well, good even with the difficult multilevel and traps.

ahr:161 max:177 shoes: New Balance Vazee Rush v2

2x multi-tech sprintervals, good to keep chopping technique but began to get a little tired at the end. Last section felt fairly JK relevant and it all felt good.
