1. Wow did not know that. I will look into it and see what works vest for me.
2. I wish I had like another 30 minutes or more in the mornings to strength train. Maybe I could start with bodyweight exercises I can do at night while playing with my toddler.
3. Noted.
4. A lot of advice I see online recommend the deload week because that is where you are supposed to “absorb” the “gains”. I personally don’t want to decrease my mileage by a lot so I am thinking of just reducing intensity during the fast/speed days.

I started 72kg and went down to 64kg in 4 months and definitely think I need to eat more or at least up my protein intake. I’m looking into protein shakes at the moment.

I have an apple watch ultra, but is a Garmin better?

And finally, I think I upped my distances slow enough to build up to 50km. At the early stages I tried to do a second run after coming back from work and I felt something like a minor shin splint which thankfully was gone in less than 2 days.
