Still fairly sore from last lifting session so kept the upper stuff light. Similarly legs a bit fatigued so just a few fairly easy squats. I anticipate a decent amount of leg soreness tomorrow so probably no run.

Notes

Fuck that felt good.

I'll get back to tracking BW from tmrw.

I think want to keep running as a relative priority since it makes me feel real good, so I'm going to have to think about how to handle lower body lifting with it? Any suggestions adarqui? By running I mean slower distance-y type running rather than the intervals I was working w/ before. I guess I could just use the same protocol, since this form of running is probably even less taxing muscle-wise once adapted.

Happy new year

Morning BW: 73.2kg

Workout

Run -- 6.1km in 31:02

Fairly easy run in fairly heavy rain. This run included a 24:59 5k, so I guess that's the benchmark for the year.

Legs quite sore today, actually, though not due to any deliberate training. Got back from travels on the 30th, and on the 31st I took the train to visit friends for NYE. I was a bit late so I had to pull out a basically 100% effort 300m sprint to catch my train. Glutes were cramping when I boarded, lol, so I spent first 10 mins of the journey pacing the carriage to alleviate this.

Notes

Present goals -- get back into a workout rhythm and enjoy stuff. Maybe resume weight loss aiming at sub-70kg. Hopefully body comp will improve quite a lot as muscle will come back quickly w/ lifting, I guess?

Notes

Jettisoning the end of 5/3/1 to shift to the high freq plan. I just need to get mroe reps in at waking up early and working out, so am gonna force the issue. Probably set myself back a week or two with not training and eating like shit this last week, but that's okay, lesson learnt.

Notes

7am fasted workout without caffeine. Start work full time today so gonna have to get used to this sort of workout. Unsurprisingly somewhat weaker than usual.  15 pullups is a nice PR, not deadhang though. I'll work on that.

Morning BW: 72.9kg

Waist: 31.75"

Notes

No training today, feeling a bit rough after a heavy night out. I'm fairly dehydrated, but I was definitely in a deficit regardless (tracked carefully), so I'll call that a success. Am out and about the net couple days, but hopefully will have time to hit the gym tomorrow evening, though I think the gym closes quite early on Sunday. If I don't get to lift I'll just get in another track session and lift Monday, not ideal but it is what it is.

Morning BW: 73.4kg

Workout

Jog to park - 1mi in 9:57

Sprint 3 x 15-20m

Jumps - 5 max effort SVJs and 5 max effort RVJs
SVJs felt weak, not surprising given I pushed a heavy squat set yesterday. RVJs felt fucking excellent, though, getting to wrist on backboard. This stumpy unreactive goof should be touching the rim (~31") by the end of the cut+with more jump practice.

Fartleks? Tempo? Idk what you want to call the cardio part of this workout, but here's what I did:

Jog 400m / Run 100m
Jog 300m / Run 100m
Jog 200m / Run 100m
Jog 100m / Run 100m
Jog 100m / Run 100m
Jog 200m / Run 100m
Jog 300m / Run 100m
Jog 400m / Run 100m

Jogs were ~9:30 mile pace, 100s were in 19-21s (so ~5:20-30 mile pace). Slower for the first few reps, faster for the last few.

Jog .75mi home in 8:21, walk the rest.

Notes

I really enjoyed that interval workout. Jogging for the rests is way more fun than walking. I kind of wanted to do a longer run for the workout today, but decided to get to the park and jump first. Came up with the interval thing on the fly and had a lot of fun with it. Adarqui, what do you think of it?

Morning BW: 73.9kg [woopwoop]

Notes

Has been and will be a busy day so I shall probably not get a workout in. Have been offered a full time job doing stuff I would actually want to do, which is kinda hype. I think when it starts up I will try to do workouts in the morning before I head to the gym so I can have my evenings free. We shall see. Exciting...

Biceps are quite sore today. They're never sore. I guess I haven't done fully supinated curls for ages, and haven't done the super heavy/low reps scheme either for a while, so it makes sense. Aiming to finish this week <83.2kg.
