web: surface personal training findings — cadence, fueling
- NatesNotes.md restructured into the personal-findings doc (cadence 170 target / 161 natural, 80 g carb/h, 3/2 breathing, gait cues, injury log) - load_activities exposes avg_cadence_spm (summaryDTO.averageRunCadence, falling back to Takeout's avgDoubleCadence — full coverage, 342/342 runs) - load_fit_records: FIT running cadence is single-leg rev/min; now returns true steps/min ((cadence + fractional_cadence) * 2) - Dashboard: cadence trend chart (per-run avg, 28-day mean, 170/161 lines) + Cad column in recent activities - Activity Detail: per-second cadence trace with %time >= 170 - Race Plan: fueling section (carb g/h x est. finish time per race) - one-time migration: 18 epoch-ms-as-text timestamps -> ISO (P2 item; backup at data/backups/garmin-20260612-082025.db) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Eisley
|
||||
Working notes from PT (Eisley), self-observation, and race experience.
|
||||
Last recap: 2026-06-12 (day before the 30K).
|
||||
|
||||
### Exercises
|
||||
## Cadence & HR — the two numbers that matter
|
||||
|
||||
### Gait / posture
|
||||
- knee forward
|
||||
- stepping too far forward
|
||||
- lose momentum, hard strike, pulling
|
||||
- instead, run on ice
|
||||
- feet land underneath, push backward
|
||||
- this has revealed weakness and asymmetry in feet/ankles/legs
|
||||
- in particular, left foot is very difficult to load medial side during pushoff
|
||||
- **170 spm is ideal**; natural cadence is **161** — body falls back to it
|
||||
when not consciously cued.
|
||||
- Holding ~170 has made HR consistently maintainable **< 145** (top of Z2 is
|
||||
143) — at the cost of running slower. That trade is the point.
|
||||
- Watch datafield: big HR + cadence only — the only fields needed in training.
|
||||
- Current block (week of Jun 5–12): mostly low-HR walking, deliberate.
|
||||
|
||||
- 170 bpm is ideal
|
||||
- This has made HR consistently maintainable < 145
|
||||
- I end up running slower to maintain HR
|
||||
- datafield on watch showing big HR/Cadence - only important fields for training
|
||||
## Breathing
|
||||
|
||||
- feeling of winding/turning my feet sup on lateral, inf on medial
|
||||
- aligns with medial MTP avoidance, good queue
|
||||
|
||||
## Anatomy Observations
|
||||
- Natural cadence is 161. Body falls back to this if I don't think about it
|
||||
- Feeling of legs out of socket, or tailbone out of place, or sacrum twisted(?)
|
||||
- asymettery in motion of each leg
|
||||
- tightness and weakness where collarbones join
|
||||
- feel of trying to pull that area down seems right
|
||||
- likewise in shoulders, feel out of socket or twisted/tight
|
||||
- **3 strides in / 2 out.**
|
||||
- Noticed the diaphragm very often lands in the same position on the same
|
||||
foot — odd-count breathing (3/2) rotates which foot takes the exhale impact.
|
||||
|
||||
## Other PT Findings
|
||||
## Nutrition
|
||||
|
||||
### Connor Harris
|
||||
- Big toe ball exercise
|
||||
- side faces wall
|
||||
- forearm against wall, opposite leg slightly lateral
|
||||
- raise wall-side leg marcher
|
||||
- lift body w/far leg, focus on pressing into big toe ball
|
||||
- imagine trying to lift toes from ground
|
||||
- **I have undernourished in races.**
|
||||
- Goal: **80 g carbs/hour** during long efforts.
|
||||
- At 30K (~3.5 h?) that's ~280 g total — plan bottles/gels ahead, don't wing it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Race Logistics
|
||||
- I have undernourished
|
||||
- 80g carb/hr goal
|
||||
- 3 strides in / 2 out breathing
|
||||
- noticed diaphragm very often in same place on same foot
|
||||
-
|
||||
## Gait / form cues (Eisley)
|
||||
|
||||
- Problem: knee forward / stepping too far out front → lose momentum, hard
|
||||
strike, pulling instead of pushing.
|
||||
- Cue: **"run on ice"** — feet land underneath, push backward.
|
||||
- This revealed weakness and asymmetry in feet/ankles/legs; in particular
|
||||
the **left foot struggles to load the medial side during pushoff**.
|
||||
- Cue: feeling of winding/turning the feet — sup on lateral, inf on medial —
|
||||
aligns with the medial-MTP avoidance; good cue.
|
||||
- Ice-walk stride note from injury rehab (2026-03-08): shorter, less
|
||||
out-in-front steps; cue of rotating musculature from inner to outer
|
||||
(pull meat back from inside inner ankle bone, push out behind outer
|
||||
ankle bone) felt good.
|
||||
|
||||
## Anatomy observations
|
||||
|
||||
- Asymmetry in the motion of each leg.
|
||||
- Feeling of legs out of socket / tailbone out of place / sacrum twisted(?).
|
||||
- Tightness + weakness where the collarbones join — the feel of pulling that
|
||||
area down seems right; likewise shoulders feel out of socket or twisted.
|
||||
|
||||
## Injury history
|
||||
|
||||
- **2026-03-07, right leg**: right inner leg felt "short", tending to limp,
|
||||
unable to pull the right leg back far; legs heavy, cardio fine.
|
||||
Rehabbed via the ice-walk stride work above (see ../RunningLogs.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## PT exercises (Connor Harris, YouTube)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Big toe ball exercise**: side faces wall; forearm against wall, opposite
|
||||
leg slightly lateral; raise wall-side leg (marcher); lift body with the far
|
||||
leg, focus on pressing into the big-toe ball; imagine lifting the toes
|
||||
from the ground.
|
||||
|
||||
## 50M training strategy
|
||||
|
||||
- Races: 30K **2026-06-13**, 50K **2026-07-25**, 50M **2026-09-12**.
|
||||
- **Minimize Z3 junk miles** — polarize: Z2 volume + deliberate quality.
|
||||
- Low-HR walking counts as training (time on feet) even though the dashboard
|
||||
currently ignores non-running activities.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where this lives in the data / web UI
|
||||
|
||||
| Finding | Surfaced today? |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| HR < 145 / zone discipline | ✅ Time-in-zone (Activity Detail), polarized split (Dashboard) |
|
||||
| Minimize Z3 junk | ✅ Dashboard "Polarized split (last 12 weeks)" |
|
||||
| Aerobic base quality | ✅ Pa:HR decoupling (Activity Detail) |
|
||||
| **Cadence 170 vs 161** | ❌ not shown anywhere, though per-second cadence is in every FIT |
|
||||
| **80 g carb/hr fueling** | ❌ nothing — Race Plan page could compute totals from projected duration |
|
||||
| **Walking / time-on-feet** | ❌ Dashboard filters to `type="running"` only |
|
||||
| 3/2 breathing, form cues | n/a — not watch-measurable; lives in this file |
