Before the bulk of the day begins, It's a priority for me to 1st put a "W" on the board by completing some voluntary adversity.

It's a rad feeling to ask so much of my body so often. And have it oblige. Case in point, this past Saturday & Sunday. But it's equally rad to also know, it's so normal, it really isn't a big deal.

When's the last time you earned a training PR?

Well, I earned one this week. Not a 2024 PR, but a lifetime PR.

As a refresher, the workout is 8x carries up trail, drop, 100m trail run up/down, retrieve, 8x carries down trail, 1.5mi cash out run. This totals 4 miles.

I went 59:19! That's an obliteration of anything previously run which averages ±1:05. And because I felt it happening & knew it, I leaned into it & tried to take advantage of the feelings. But honestly, I didn't expect to go that much faster. In fact, when stuff like this happens, I immediately start taking notes about all I did the days before to try to capture a pattern that I might be able to recreate.

A 2x (5-4-3-2-1) ladder workout, a protocol rarely done: 5min, 4min, etc with a 1min Z¹ recovery between each interval while also bumping up speed/pace each interval. E.g., the 5min was done at 7:30 pace & I end with the 1min at 6:49 pace. Then repeat. The goal wasn't a specific HR zone or pace per interval, it was to just make sure I picked it up each interval & made a larger bump up for the final 1min. But I was nowhere near an all out effort as that wasn't the purpose. Ps - all "flat" treadmill workouts I do actually have the incline set at 4% ⊾

Another level up in my atlas stone carry. But unlike the other atlas goals I've posted about since April (building it, shouldering it, carrying it, training w/ it, shouldering it in races), this one was spur of the moment & was never planned. But spontaneously Tue night in my W², it seemed like a "must do". So I did.

A double distance carry: 55 meters up/back/up/back. It's interesting to watch myself go from getting fed up w/ the effort zap of front carrying in Australia in April, to committing to building my own stone, training with it (but not being entirely sure I could shoulder carry it). To now not only shoulder carrying, but to having the confidence & ability to carry it DOUBLE my normal training distance.

Another Boulder County canyon climb in the books on Sunday following my Sat 2hr long run; Left Hand, N Saint Vrain {36} & now S Saint Vrain {7}.

These are my favorite workouts. More than OCR, strength, HIIT & even straight runs... long solo climbs on the bike. In this case, it's 1:43 of non-stop climbing up 13.9 miles to an altitude of 8187' ascending 2750' from Lyons to the Peak 2 Peak HWY (a superb ride in its own right). There's something immensely pleasurable, alluring, challenging & gratifying about putting your head down, listening to the soft click of your hub/gearing/pedaling while grinding out & conquering a big climb (especially in the mtns). And doing so on quality gear & w/ zero apprehension about pulling it off since you have the skill, ability, mindset, fitness. If it's 'choose run shoes or 2 wheels', it's an easy choice. Incidentally, I didn't stop here, I kept going towards Estes before turning back & descending the same segment in a mere 27:03.

This leaves 1 more iconic canyon to climb before winter sets in; Boulder Canyon {119}. This Sunday?

If you watch this video thru, you'll see, of the various obstacles (tire drag, running, hoist, atlas carry, trail farmers carry, multirig) I do across 5 rounds, one jacks my heart rate the highest. Every time. Over 160bpm with a high of 162. You probably won't guess which one just by watching alone, so the HR chart in the lower left will reveal it when it happens. In a story I posted yesterday, of dozens of responses, only 1 person called it: the tire drag offset carry.

Last week I butchered my Wed CI run. 3 weeks off the treadmill & I felt unexpectedly rusty & out of tune with treadmill processes like recalling which speed level my treadmill needs to be at to maintain a certain HR range (ie, 7.5 to be in MAF or 8.3 to be high Z²). I drifted around mentally & was out of focus for feeling (& listening) for in/out of range Garmin haptic & audio zone alerts. I felt sloppy & couldn't stay w/in my ranges. Perceived effort indicated, & run pace confirmed, I was running fast, but my HR was lower than I needed or expected it to be. But this week, I got back on track & had none of these issues. These 1x weekly interval runs are important as they work & get results. So I need to be on point & can't be having "off" weeks.
