Notes

RDLs look like they're increasing v fast, but basically RPE until this session has been pretty moderate and was just a matter of getting back to where I was before.

Should note that I do the wide-grip pullups with my back really arched, so my chest is pointing almost straight up. Basically trying as best I can to make it into a row-like movement rather than a vertical pull. Do really feel it in rear delts/mid traps, so think it's doing the job.

Pretty tired yesterday and today, but performance fine-to-good, so not worried. Maybe this will just be a one hard workout running week, though, if the feeling persists. Usually feel pretty fresh the day after lifting, though, so we'll play that by ear tmrw.

Still (v slowly) dropping weight despite eating to/past fullness. Might have to make a conscious effort to maintain weight, since I guess slight under-feeding could contribute to tiredness. As compared to lifting, I don't know that much about how nutrition interacts with running recovery (other than like 'it does' and 'carbs good').

Found my H10 chest strap, so HR is from that. Thought I had nailed pacing, HR was high 150s, low 160s, then mid 160s, but that rep was avg 170 and the slowest. Maybe conditions/wind or some such.

Slower than last week too. Mysterious, not concerned though.

Notes

Little bit of right shoulder bend on OACs, but better than last week, at least partially due to warming up more thoroughly.

Tried to stay super upright and keep the dips loaded on the triceps. Surprised how hard that made the,. Most tricep iso stuff I can do at home requires an annoying amnt of setup, so will probs stick with this.

Got antsy in the evening so did a few sets of preacher curls, some wrist wrench and played around with front lever. Can hold a decent OL front lever. Don't think I've ever done a good full one, which is about same difficulty as OAC depending on anthropometrics, i think?

Notes

Beautiful weather. Nice run.

4:36 on feet this week, up a massive 1 min from last week. I guess I did 20 mins on bike as well that I didn't last time. No change niggles-wise, so I might try to add a lil more volume next week.

Odd reps into the wind, even ones with it

5.24 this time vs 5.22 last week, but 21 C today vs 9 C last time. HR about the same despite that. Probably don't need to be comparing week-to-week with running stuff, but nice to see progress, in any case.

Sadly no useful HR data as my watch was having a bad day in that regard. Windy day.

Rare afternoon run. Didn't like it, lunch was still kind of heavy in the stomach.

.21km more covered across the 5 reps this time at similar perceived effort. nice.

Notes

Bit of pain in right elbow and shoulder. Think it stems from those hanging shrugs, but will give the negatives a break.

Was thinking that 2 sessions out of 5 runs was maybe aggressive, but actually think it's about right. Rather than framing that as 40% of my total running volume, if you frame it in terms of time, it was 54 effort mins out of 275 total, so pretty much exactly an 80-20 split of easy-hard.

Run - 12.29km, 1:19:08 [6:26 avg pace, 139 avg HR]

Notes

Used watch rather than phone GPS for this run. Inclined to think it is more accurate w/r/t pace/distance than phone (certainly fewer random wiggles and jiggles and spikes). I used a new route route so don't have an easy cross-comparison. Will run one of the usuals this week to see.

Anyway 45km, 2 sessions, and 4:35 of running this week vs 39/1/3:49 previously. No niggles or aches other than the mildest weirdness in right ankle, but I think that's sort of inevitable given the number of times I've sprained it. Will monitor, though.

Also, I upped calories like 400/day avg over the last 10 days and dropped almost a kilo, lmao. Weight is so mysterious.

Felt great. Average rep HR was 150s first few reps, then finished high 160s. Good pae progression except that penultimate rep, no sure what happened think I probably just zoned out because I didn't find this workout that hard [deliberately keeping it moderate as a build up proper fitness].

A few strides and 2 x 10 pogo hops near the end

Notes

Surprisingly fresh given 30 mins of fairly hard work in yesterday's workout.

funny, we ended up doing very similar workouts today, just with the sets and duration flipped.

lol yes, between that and the warmup video, a day of much serendipity

Solid workout. HR was like 158, 163, 165, 168, 170 for each rep, so nicely in tempo/just below tempo range.
