01-28-2026 Run/Ride

Slept well, essentially through the night, for the first time in a while. It was a tiring day on Tuesday, that's probably why. I woke up and decided to go for an easy-ish early morning run. It was cold enough to warrant a hat and gloves, but they were sufficient. Down to the park and around twice before returning, standard 5k route. I had fairly significant negative splits for the first three miles and was moving reasonably well in the last mile.

Avg pace = 8:22/mi
Total distance = 3.21 mi
Elapsed moving time = 26:54
Avg heartrate = 130 bpm (Coospo)
Relative Effort = 10

Got home and prepped for a bike ride, not really knowing where or how far I was going to go. Got all ready and then saw that my front tire was flat, so I changed it quickly and got going around 8:00. Through the neighborhood and all the way around Matinal Circle, then I took W Bernardo Dr to RB Rd and headed east. Morning traffic around there is definitely sketchy. I rode up to Bernardo Center Dr and turned right there, then took a left on Lomica Dr to ride through that neighborhood. Over to Higa Pl and thus to Pomerado Rd. My legs were tired from the previous day as well as the run, so this was a casual-paced ride. Up to Twin Peaks Rd, turning left there and riding up to Community Rd, where I turned right. Over to Poway Rd, turning right again and starting to head home. I rode down to RB Rd and then took it up to Matinal Rd (a little extra distance) before heading home through the neighborhood. Felt a little better at the end than at the beginning.

Avg speed = 15.4 mph. Total mileage = 18.4 mi
Avg power = 128 W. Weighted avg power = 146 W
Total elevation gain = 960
Avg heartrate = 116 bpm (Coospo)
Relative Effort = 18
Training Load = 57
Intensity = 66%

Was hungry when I got home, had some cereal and coffee and that helped. Spent a relaxing time before I had to get ready for my volunteer shift. Nothing special at the hospital, I stopped at Sprouts on the way home and bought some fruit. Thought about buying a snack but they were ridiculously expensive. Got home, put air in the scooter tires, and talked to Laura about the Italy trip. It was a quiet evening, watched some TV and read.
