Seattle half marathon training - race is Sunday December 1 (2 weeks)
Start 4:45 pm
End 6:35pm - ran for 110 minutes (1 hour, 50 minutes)
Ran for time but didn't track miles, should have been a little over 10 miles but less than 11 miles. I ran generally on the outer lap around Greenlake. I was surprised that the body felt pretty good actually, probably helped a lot that I tried to stay off the concrete as much as possible, focused on running through grass, etc. My arches did not really act up until the final 15 minutes of the run, which is an improvement on the last several weeks. My right ankle was tender again, I believe that really originates in the R glute, hip, and eventually transfers down to the ankle. I really do need to figure out how to improve mobility in that ankle because that could be an issue on race day. Wind was fine, pace consistent. My endurance actually seems very very good, the issue if anything is the R ankle, and arches. I did some lacrosse ball work afterwords on my feel which felt really good. Have to really focus on these feet and if I do, the Seattle 1/2 marathon race race on December 1 should go fine.

Notes - Interesting session. Didn't sleep all that well, couldn't fall asleep and then work up at 4:30, didn't fall back asleep fully. I went to bed pretty late both Friday and Saturday night and my body clock is off. My sleeping habits are the biggest problem with my training by far. My diet is on point, my programming is on point, motivation to train is very good - sleep is not. I am tired of talking about it and I actually need to do something about it. OK well enough of the rant. After getting warmed up the presses went up pretty good, particularly L, I was feeling pretty tight in the top part of my R pec, front side of the trap, and neck and should have spent some time on the lacrosse ball working on those trigger points before pressing. Made the R presses a little harder than necessary due to a little bit of resticted mobility. I had brought the 36kg outside and after getting 5 singles up with the 32, decided to see if I could clean and press the 36. A little disappointed to have a fail on both sides, though I did get the bell off the rack, which I have not been able to do before. Hit a sticking point about 4-5 inches out of the rack into the press, and had to abandon the lift. I also feel like I was not tight enough and leaked tension in some places, which did not help the lifts. After experiencing that I decided a better way to go here was to clean and hold the 36 in the rack for 5 seconds, which I did 3X on each side. That was pretty good and something to talk to Kevin about as it seems that would be a helpful lift to try and build up to pressing the 36. After an interruption I did bang out 100 reps with the 44kg, all of which were good solid swings.
