Extremely pleased with how that's gone. Rain was difficult to deal with on the second lap but great news otherwise. Spun the rest of the long run, not keen to overdo it.

Around 100-110 rpm for the 3 mins and 130-140 rpm for the 30 secs, feeling alright about it even though I would've preferred to be on the hill reps. Didn't want to jump back into it that quickly though.

Went about as well as I could have hoped, really. Pain was 0 for the whole thing and was focusing on keeping my knees straight since that seems to be a pretty significant flaw in my running form. Only concern was a very mild jab while I was walking afterward. Lines up with when I got the pain on the cooldown of the session last Saturday and on the cooldown of the session last Tuesday. Also, intensity of session aka pressure put on foot seems to positively correlate with amount of pain felt, except it's after the fact instead of during. Interesting. My body might be very effectively ignoring the pain when I run, but then the chemicals keeping me painless wear off afterwards and boom, pain on cooldowns.
Rolling + stretching + calf raises.
Plan tomorrow is one run and one spin, collectively 90+ minutes for the day.

Backing off asap. Heel was mostly fine for the session, good up the bog, but downhill onto the road something got irritated and I wasn't able to run the rest of the way home without strong pain. Appt. with physio needs to happen, and switching to spinning for the foreseeable future. Calf raises.

Aaaand heel reacted during the hopping, first time I felt it was Saturday cooling down from the session, then during gym, and now it's a bit tender. Will keep an eye on it. Possible cause is shoes, don't have as much support as expected because didn't realize they're competition shoes, good news on the back of that is mileage shoes should arrive tomorrow and now I have racing flats which I couldn't say earlier.

Started off feeling pretty good for the first fifty minutes but deteriorated towards the end and felt pretty grindy finishing it up. Didn't go for an extra loop for the mileage, didn't feel beneficial.

25 min tempo around the Meadows, then 5x strides, around 22 seconds. Thought about doing parkrun but realized it was too late to get the bus there. Starting to get very tempted. Good mix, tempo felt decently strong, and strides felt decently quick. Sunny day did not do anything for my hands, freezing cold.

Long run with a big pack of boys, good times. Intended to hit the 100-120 minute range but the pace at the end killed my desire to do that. Good long run though, content to take it.

Long training at Chatel de Madera. Felt alright and didn't feel weak on the climbs for the first time this week. Routes mostly good, bad on 18 when I was on a trail and it turned and I tried to go to the trail that would bring me closer and ended up in some gross woods. Enjoyed myself since my expectation was pure filth and pain.

To Navalmoral Southwest for a one-man relay. Was my biggest nightmare last year so this was a bit better. Lost the train immediately on the different gaffle followed by a mistake on 3. Mostly good from there save for some minor bobbles, but legs were absolutely dead on any mild uphill, made it tough when I caught up Carcas and David to make it a race.

Back to Hoyo de Pinares, a return to the most therapeutic terrain I've ever run on. So good. Took it as easy as possible. No major Ls, just bobbles.

O-Intervals in a tricky forest, alone on the first one but in the pack for the other three. Mostly pretty good navigation, other than the first control on first and third interval, brilliant since focus was the beginning of the race, ideal. Did pretty well otherwise when it was easy to muck it up.

Infierno de Navalmoral. Started alright on the first bit, but fell apart after I hit 15. Missed 16, then just never reset and was bumbling around pretending I was hitting 17, 18, and 19. Regained my senses a bit going to the top of the hill to 20 and good stuff from there.

Physically still meh, but better than in the sprint in the afternoon. Started well, mistakes on 5, 6, decent for a bit, but then relative pace was slow, bled a lot of time just from running slowly. Ill though, not concerned.

Felt myself getting better over the last few days, but today I was coughing and snotty and generally grim for a lot of it. Felt it physically in some places. Technically decent, but lost seven minutes on leg 14, wasn't attacking from where I thought I was.

Treadmill in the end, couldn't decide on a route. While I feel a little stuffed up didn't need to blow my nose, and progressed from 4'55s to 4'15s, keeping it easy. Good.
