Weekly Proof of Work
#1
Three weeks ago, I was asking myself different questions.
Can I handle volume again? Will my legs recover? Is my aerobic base still there?
This week, those questions are gone. And new ones took place: How do I optimize hydration? How do I refine VO2 execution? How does cardiac drift change across environments? Shiiii changed!
And that shift right there is the biggest win of the week… Not a number. A mindset.
Man, I’m no longer getting back into shape. I’m training.
📈 The proof:
- Aerobic fitness: lower HR on the treadmill, easier recovery, threshold sessions executed consistently.
- VO2 max: I dominated the 1K session under a red heat warning and finished stronger than I started.
- Running economy: mid-long run I wasn’t even thinking about the pace anymore and y’all know when pace is flowing, economy is improving.
- Durability: 48 miles. Two long runs. One easy run. Two speed days. Zero missed sessions. Zero soreness. No exhaustion.
