Tue 2/17 - double, 1:40 total

AM - 40 minutes very easy/easy. Tendinitis on medial aspect of right knee very sore, limping on it for a minute or two before it loosened up. Plenty of other sore spots but that was the most noticeable one.

PM - 60 minutes RLTAC incl. 4k and 2k. Cut short the planned workout of 4k-3k-2k-1k by a good chunk. The first rep went just as planned, 13:30 for the whole thing with progressively faster kilos of 3:30, 3:25, 3:20, and 3:15. Took 3 minutes jog recovery and then attempted to do 3k in the same fashion starting at 40 sec/lap, got to 1600m and realized I wasn't going to be able to maintain the pace much longer and bailed at 2k (6:37). Thought about doing one more rep of 1000m but thought better of it. Nothing more than being tired, plus the relatively high volume of the past three days. As such the 4k wore me out a lot more than I thought it would even though it felt quite under control. Sleeping much more the past three days compared to recent weeks but the deficit is so enormous it's going to take more than a few days to be anything close to restored. Once again, worn down by the demands of the coaching schedule.
