Exam done! Covid a little more settled! Time to start logging again.

Meditation 1hr

Run 8.13km 4.49/km pace felt kinda heavy, did a 13k with a lot of hill 2 days ago though so probably under recovered.

Ng chins 10, 10, 8
DB BP 38kg x 7 32kg x 10
Row 36kg 1 x 12
DB OHP 18kg 1 x 12
Tri pdown 32kg 1 x 15
Db curl 16kg 1 x 12
Lateral raise 7kg 1 x 15

Didn't have long and first gym session in 6weeks. Occasional push ups/chins seem to have maintained thinf
gs.

Planning 30m yoga later.

Working the next 2 days so probably no exercise other than the short commute.

still here doh. didn't stop training just fell off the logging horse.

meditation 1hr

run 6.5km ~5.10/km pace - left it band/adductor dodgy

chin up 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
push up 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 

was going to ladder back down but was pushed for time. I have an exam in December which is consuming most of my free time and work has been stressful to say the least so taking it kind of easy with exercise right now.

Yesterday just yoga 30m and meditation 1hr 45 - it's gotten the point where its hard to get up from meditation, I need to do a retreat soon. Actually spoke to Frank yang about this stuff the other day haha.. Remember that guy.

Today run 24.33km 5.26/km pace pretty happy with this given 378m elevation which screwed me over...one part I just had to walk it was stupid steep. Super fun run though in some lovely countryside, perfect weather.

Meditation 1hr 45m
Yoga - 30m to be done of yin/stretchy

I loved Frank Yang. Always right on the fringe of everything. 

Is the need for meditation work related?

He's an interesting dude for sure haha. The meditation is partly for stress relief yes, but the more I do it the more it is just becoming a part of my life and the more pleasent it becomes.

frank yang is a legend. he must have one of the longest youtube careers out there. like almost fifteen years at this point. just unbelievably prolific.

Yeah, he also looks like he's barely aged a day (it was at least 10 years since I first saw him on terminal vertical etc). He's now claiming to have achieved enlightenment, who knows lol.

Today  (I will get back into the routine of logging!!)

Meditation 1hr 15

Gym

Run 7.2km 4.50/km avg pace mostly flat for once.

30m of yoga/stretching now.

So my gastroc particularly my left on the medial side is full off little bumps, they almost feel like shotty lymph nodes. They feel too superficial to be muscle knots and they're not all that tender. They're super mobile which is reassuring, but also kinda weird... One I can move well over an inch up and down my leg lol. Maybe scar tissue/knotted fascia? I dunno, weird though.

Ah out of the habit of logging but still been moving

Today run 11km 4.47/km avg pace pretty happy with that given 100m of elevation and some trail

Meditation 1hr 30

30m yoga

Logging interrupted with moving house and starting a new job. Also moved in with girlfriend, still been training.. Less strength... More running. Did a 30k trail run at the weekend, was super fun. 1km of road from my new place and youre in awesome hills and trails (leading to a giant moorland wind farm which is super fun to run around). There's also a really nice country park which I can cover in an 8k loop from my place. Basically the trail running options here are amazing compared to central Manchester and running is much more enjoyable. I was also enjoying the hoka clifton on road and wanted some for the trail and the hoka speedgoat 4 is fantastic, my shin issues are pretty much gone. I think the risk of twisting and ankle is slightly higher though but the drop is still 4mm.

So anyway today went back to the gym for the first time since March!! New gym too obviously, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Ditching the Armstrong pull up program for the time being, starting a new job next week and moving and honestly I just don't have the motivation for it anymore and my progress seems stagnant. I will probably come up with some kind of new program once things have settled down
