I mix running and cycling 7 days a week, 30-45 min each day. I do strength 4-6 days a week, 15-30 min each day moving between upper body, lower body, core, body weight, etc. The strength schedule dictates what I do for cardio, for example I’ll typically target a run and legs the same day knowing the next 1-2 days I’ll need to bike to recover my legs.
I always do cardio first, no reason why, just started doing it that way and it’s been working for me so I’m not inclined to change it.
The only exception is I’ll try and do a boot camp style workout 1-2x a week for 45-60 minutes which mixes my strength and cardio.
No probably not, except inasmuch as hallucinations are a known side effect of exhaustion.
Children for example are known to not have much/any (people who actually know shit step in and select right answer) but aren’t constantly tripping balls.
My understanding of how stuff like hallucinations normally happen is the brain can be though to be a series of networks doing their own thing and relaying information between each other. Some networks try to pattern match: “I just heard something, my name is often a heard thing shaped approximately like this. This is my name!” and others filter the results of these matches for truthiness by synthesis with a bunch of crap: “we’re in the middle of a highway. who the fuck is going to be calling out our name? you misheard the radio”.
those other networks for reasons I don’t know are vulnerable to disruption. Like when we’re tired, or taking psychedelics, or have a brain tumour or whatever.
I’ve just come back to running after getting COVID for the first time. 3.5 years was a pretty good run, and I was actually thinking I might be immune… I’m not.
First few runs after recovery were difficult and I felt like someone was sitting on my chest most of the time.
This morning though, I managed 6.79km in 39m14s with the doggo, and felt pretty good. Needed a few rest stops, but I’m getting it back, which is satisfying.
After a couple of months of running most days, I reached that amazing fitness level where I’m beginning run with relative ease again. I celebrated by buying myself a pair of fancy sport headphones. Hopefully I’ll be able to tackle a 10k again by the end of the year. Also, it’s fucking cold outside all of a sudden. What the hell.
Considering signing up for a couple of races. A 22k kinda brutual trail run in may with 7 hours to complete and the sydney marathon in September.
I’m bouncing back from injury pretty well, up to about 20 km per week with only slight tibialis posterior pain occasionally.
I think those races are far enough away I’d have plenty of time to train gently. Feeling nervous though, I’m a pretty solitary person and a race has a lot of hubhub.
Plus proper training puts a lot of time constraints on you, I’d be looking at my 4x a week gym and then what 5 days running also. I’m worried committing to a race will rob running of the joy.
Otoh I’d like to see what I can do, and I’d love to run a proper ultra before oestoarthritis takes that off the table and if that’s the goal I have to start pushing myself sooner rather than later.
I am recovering from an injury (groin - ouch), so if I am going to go running, it will be slow and short. Instead, I am catching up on same DIY projects.
I ran my first half marathon in over 4 years this morning. I used the Garmin suggested workouts to train for the race and felt very well prepared. My default is just to do lots of easy miles when training, so I appreciated the various types of runs the watch suggested.
My initial goal when I signed up for the race was 1:45, and this morning my Garmin said I was in 1:42 shape. I went out with a goal of 1:40 and finished around 1:39:30, even with a slight detour that added about 2 tenths of a mile to my race. 😂
I’ll have a pretty light week next week and think about what to train for next.
