Running hills 18:03 [3] 1.83 km (9:51 / km) +53m 8:36 / km
messiest hills of my life
Tried to do 1 min on 1 min off, with the 1 min on being uphill. First 3 kinda worked, except on 1 and 3 the hill started dipping down at the end of the minute so I ran the last 10-15 seconds in the woods, and on 2 the hill started out as not a hill and then lifted up to barely a hill becuase I miscalculated the fact that the hill I was doing it on wasn't as long of a hill as I thought and there's this long-ish flat section in the middle of it. Then on 4 I walked a few steps in the middle of it because I just couldn't, and then hlf-assedly finished the interval on again, a flat part, because I ran out of hill, and then 5 I snded up splitting into 5 and 6, both being 30 seconds on and 1 min off because 1. I was tired 2. It was hot so I didn't wanna pass out and 3. it was the steepest part of the hill so ouch.
Then on the way down I did two 30 sec intervals on the uphill-ish sections and yeah. Huge mess but I'm glad I kicked myself out to do some sort of hill, even though they were a disaster like this. Apparently today is not my day for doing anything structured.
Walk warm up/down 14:45 [1] 1.13 km (13:05 / km) +43m 10:59 / km
so turns out with this cough I can't get rid of it's almost like I have asthma... I'm fine for the most part until I start breathing more heavily, as in exercising or laughing or just going up stairs. It's really annnoying and I can't wait for it to go away.
Strength Training (hip stretches) 15:00 [1]
did
these stretches This hip hurting business sucks. And stretching it does too, it's so annoying how insanely unflexible my right hip and leg is, while my left is perfectly fine (no wonder the pain is in the right hip). I wanted to start getting my mileage up for training and getting better endurance, but I think I'm going to bike for 1:30 to 2 hours at least once a week. I really should start structuring my training more, and I think I'm going to try to do workouts on monday and friday (probably hills on Mondays if I can and speedwork on fridays) and then on Wednesdays to do longer, more endurance stuff, i.e. the biking. Here's to hoping that works out, it's hard to keep a training schedule up with constant changes in schedules and weekends in general are insanely tiring, so I'm a bit worried about the Monday hills- we'll see. I'll give it my best shot, and if it doesn't work out I'll maybe shift the workouts to tuesday-friday or something.
