Today (Wed): Strength B — lower/posterior, back-safe (3 sets: RDL, step-ups, ham curl, calf raises @ 10–12; farmers carry) then 4×4min treadmill intervals. Full gym-ready version in the WOD tab.
Tomorrow (Thu): Z2 base, low-impact 45–55min (different machine to Mon) + mobility + sauna.
Load rule: today's treadmill intervals are impact day 2 — keep Fri/Sat's run EASY (max 2 impact days: Wed tready + Sun long run). AM stays Z2/mobility only for the back. Week 5 quality run: Tempo 5km @ 4:35/km; Sun: 16km easy.
Quiet — Inbox empty, nothing new landed in the brain. The 07:00 sweep had nothing to file.

Wednesday · Week 5 · BUILD — Strength B (lower/posterior) + 4×4 treadmill conditioning.
Warm-up (~10min): 5min easy incline walk or bike to HR ~120 · glute bridges 2×12 · bird-dogs 2×8/side (switch the back on) · leg swings + hip openers · bodyweight step-ups 1×10/side to prime.
Main — Strength B (3 sets each, back-safe, controlled tempo):
Conditioning — Treadmill 4×4 (4 on / 4 off): 4min hard @ HR 155–163 (~4:20–4:35/km if the legs are good), then 4min easy jog to HR ~130–135. Repeat ×4. This is your treadmill speed day.
Cool-down: 5min easy walk · mobility — hip flexors, hamstrings, calves, thoracic; foam roll. Pairs with the 15:00 mindfulness block.
Back-safe: heavy squats & deadlifts stay OUT, RDL moderate only. If the back's talking, drop the farmers-carry load and swap the treadmill 4×4 for low-impact (ski-erg / bike) intervals.
Z2 base, low-impact 45–55min on a different machine to Mon (rower / bike / elliptical / ski erg / stair) — conversational aerobic + mobility + sauna.
Weights logging coming soon.
