So much good here. Really looking forward to those PT exercises.
I can confirm a few random exercises I selected from youtube has been hugely beneficial for me. I can imagine how useful the ones from Heather are going to be.
My mobility always gets neglected when im feeling tired. Its something ive always kinda known. I keep soldiering on and feel guilty about not doing it, but seeing it written here has made me more aware of it and to make a plan for when it happens (rest)
Hey Gordo, any tips on adding volume? I've gotten to point that I can 9-11 hours of training every single week, but I'd like to get that up to closer to 11-13, and make sure I get in strength training once a week (+30 minutes of time). I have some ideas below
1. Long days are currently exclusively running. Tuesday I did a 30 minute run in the morning and 1:45 in the PM, on Sunday I did 2:15. I could add an 30 min-hour a cycling on that day to get the volume up a bit, or make another day (saturday for example) into a long cycling day.
2. Reduce screen time and thus increase my recovery, and also giving me the motivation to do more volume.
3. Stop multitasking with work and admin tasks so that I have more time to train.
Easy cycling is the best way to nudge it up - for “extra” don’t add another loading day. Simply work in easy, low stress volume as supplemental training. I like the supplemental stuff as, essentially, an extended warmup

Maybe just an idea. I am experimenting with 10 min additions to bike sessions. If three sessions, 30 min (if I am able to do it)
This is a good idea! Maybe I will add an easy 10 min bike at 145-160W before most of my runs.
I like to walk the long way home after run. HR is still elevated a bit and im out an extra 20ish minutes which adds up.
