Friday tHoughts 100
Welcome to this week’s edition of Friday Thoughts, triple digits! As always these are the things that have been on my mind and in my feed this week. Enjoy!
HRV IS BACK
Back in the green! It’s taken a long time to climb out of this not-recovering hole. I first dropped into the red on August 7th, so almost two months. I’ve been focusing on the basic sleep habits—getting into bed early, limiting caffeine intake (how much and when), and trying to get some movement in most days.
Going forward, it will be interesting how see if this low period is part of my yearly training cycle, or if this was just a big fluke. I guess only time will tell!
Vulcan’s Fury
On Sunday I’m heading to Pawtuckaway State Park for the Vulcan’s Fury Half Marathon. I’ve done the race twice before, in 2018 and 2019. I’m looking forward to getting out there, despite the fact that training has been less than ideal. I have no expectations and am looking forward to a long run in the woods.
States of Elevation
It was awesome to watch Killian’s latest mountain project. He connected a bunch of mountains by running and biking. Starting in Colorado and ending in Washington. The stats are INSANE. 500 hours of movement over 31 days. Dive into the data in the post below.
Some more fun stats about Killian’s project.
Born to Run
This isn’t surprising if you’ve read born to run.
USA Weightlifting
The weightlifting World Championships are underway in Norway, enjoy these Team USA highlights.
Stay warm out there this morning! See you next time.
