Alrighthe thanks, will do at work.

Since my running game is fairly decent right now for my size and on a good day like Monday a 30 min was easy, do you think I should increase my run by 10 mins for my easy jog days to get more volume?  I feel like breathing wise it sucks but I can deal with it but my legs and everything just kind of give out after awhile on a 1.5 mile run.  I figured if I slowly increased the time running then my legs will be better conditioned for the sprints.  RunNing 3.5 miles for a 40 min run instead of 2.5.

On my next 30 min jog I may increase it to 40 to see how I do.  I also need to take more time to warm up.  Maybe do a 5 min jog down the trail and back considering that's when I feel the worst.

Failed run

Definitely too low of calories yesterday=I believe around 17300 calories
Right off the bat I doubted myself, breathing heavy right off the bat
At about 10 mins I felt decent but I tried too hard to get to 1.5 miles (during just a 30 min easy jog) which was just blah but I hit 1.47 miles which is a PR on a easy jog but doesnt count in my book.  On the way back i just hit a wall and my body shut down.
Just no energy at all so I'm going to eat when I get off the trail and just relax.

2x BFast Burritos
Protein shake soon
chewy bar
coffee(I gotta cut out the coffee altogether or cut out the creamer)

Later i will check out my macros and eat more peanuts and 1lb of turkey.

I see it, thanks.  It just feel like if i do a closed fist and not even having a tight grip I still tend to tense up in the upper body but  I will give it a shot tomorrow.

I've been doing some research and I realized that the running/bike workouts are considered brick workouts which means you run for the 30 minutes then immediately get into a 15 minute bike ride or you do that for the race distance etc etc.  So yeah I need to go to a bike store and get a road bike here pretty soon.

I will see how much I can walk today, it is storming out but the rain has stopped for now.  If it rains again then I have to use the truck because I cant get the radios and what not wet.

I'm so happy....
In fact, more than 20 studies now support the benefits of low-fat chocolate milk’s high-quality natural protein and other nutrients for recovery after a tough workout. Plus, it’s one of the easiest ways to help ensure your body gets what it needs to return your exhausted muscles to peak potential day after day. All of which means you’ll rebound more quickly, avoid burnout, and be ready to advance your training plan to the next level on schedule.

Just woke up
Heart rate: 53bpm  :personal-record: haha

I'm really not feeling it, it was warm last night so it took me awhile to fall asleep and I'm just exhausted.  Plus I have to go in for an 11-11 today so if I do go in I gotta make it fast

RDL: 225x3x10
Lat pulldownsx a lot
30 min bike ride:9.5 miles  went between 18mph for my low and 26mph for my high :personal-record:

weight was up due to water but my gut and tits are shrinking

This may sound weird but does anyone keep a limp wrist lol while they run like a t-rex?  For some reason it helps keep my shoulders relaxed and keeps me from moving side to side.

Thank you sir  :lololol:  I'm trying haha and that face even though the thing says lolololol it just looks fancy.

Anyway I forgot another update, I got a call from another post office that hired someone for a pse(clerk) position but they didnt show up to training so I got a call to go in for an interview.  With this one I will be able to work less hours but with the raise in pay it will almost even out(might be off by like 40 bucks or so before taxes).  So with that said, I can have more time to focus on this and I will be a federal employee so benefits and shit are better and I'LL GET TO QUIT SECURITY!!!!!!!!

Of course I am still going to take corrections but hey whatevs they dont need to know that for now lol

I believe they are about 4.25 hour shifts 6days a week but with that position I guess I can apply for a PTF or something position which is the same but different, how...idk but they are around 20hr so I'll see.


I'm trying to see how far away the 2nd road is that cuts through the trail by google maps and theres a big curve in the roads that go by it so its definitely showing its further than the trail but not sure by how much.  On thursday I should just try to get there by 15 minutes to see the actual distance.  but judging from the distance its probably 1.4-1.5 miles so that will be a good marker for me.

going to post now and update additional stuff (food) later.. because I want to checkout my run data now.

last night fell asleep: ~3 AM
wakeup = 11:30 AM
bw = 146
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = none
aches = right calf, left heel slightly
injuries = toenails slightly wrekt, right elbow tendonitis barely (always)
standing desk (when on computer): none
feel = good
water = alot



Food

12 PM

- beet + tart cherry juice
- 2 x wheat bread with peanut butter
- banana



Session: Afternoon

3 PM
- shoes: nb 5000 v2's
- temp: ~87F @ 60% humidity

runs:

1. 0.07 mi in 23s
- ~10.7 mph, ~5:36 min/mi

2. 0.17 mi in 53s
- ~11.5 mph, ~5:14 min/mi

3. 0.14 mi in 39s
- ~12.1 mph, ~4:58 min/mi

4. 0.11 mi in 31s
- ~12.2 mph, ~4:55 min/mi

5. 1.0 mi in 5m42s
- 1 KM PR: 3m15s  :personal-record: (-6s over previous PR), 11.45 mph, 5:14 min/mi pace
- first 0.42 mi was solid, pretty much exactly what I wanted to do: not slow down
- mentally shut down @ 0.42 mi (which is the damn small street crossing).. happens every damn time, BLEH!!#!@$@$!@%
- my drop off was pretty huge.. amazing I still ran a 5:42 mile.



the first portion of that graph is what seems to be a glitch.. happens once in a while with my watch.

anyway, I was holding pace pretty good up until that point.. then boom.. went bichmode.. you can see how bad I drop off at that point, eventually running as "slow" as 6:47 min/mi etc. weak.

6. 0.10 mi in 28s
- ~13 mph, ~4:37 min/mi

7. 0.10 mi in 27s
- ~13.5 mph, ~4:26 min/mi

8. 0.11 mi in 28s
- ~13.6 mph, ~4:25 min/mi

9. 0.26 mi in 1m16s
- ~12.5 mph, ~4:49 min/mi
- a little over 400m.. Strava actually says my "best estimated 400m" is 1:11
- i signed up for Strava today.. really nice that they have some 400m (short sprint) stats.
- best estimated 400m: 1:11
- I need to definitely get that under 1 minute! :D  :ninja:

10. 0.06 mi in 15.4s
- ~14.7 mph, ~4:05 min/mi

11. 0.06 mi in 14s
- data seems screwed up

12. 0.06 mi in 14.2s
- ~14.5 mph, ~4:07 min/mi


right hip flexor was bugging me a bit after the mile run.. got better during my faster sprints, believe it or not.

ran a bunch of shorter sprints at the end.. need to keep improving my power. the idea here is, just keep pushing my speed up so that eventually (hopefully) running 11 mph is just "easy".. need to keep bumping these up past 14-15mph.



Food

5 PM

- 2% milk




<will write more later>

Same thing happened to me today when I got to the road that cuts through the trail and I had to stop for a car, after that my run was slower.  I hope to one day get to bichmode status lol

Once I remember to sign up, I will probably be registering for this race.

It looks challenging but with 2 months of training like I am now, just with swimming thrown in, I think I can do it.

I have to time myself and be able to do the .45 mile swim and the 13 mile bike ride between 8:05am-10am other wise they kind of kick you out or something for being too slow.

Looking for
Goal weight by August 7th I think it is: 250/255
25 minute swim time
52 minute bike
30 minute run

What I will shoot for
15 minute swim
50 minute bike ride
23 minute 5k
It will probably put me in the top 100


I am 3 weeks into training for just running and I believe that if I pushed myself for the 30 minute run today, I could have gotten close to or gotten the 3 miles in 30 minutes.  The bike ride shouldn't be too hard depending on how well conditioned i get for swimming.  I am not too far from where the race is going to be held and I can always go to the beach to swim and train or go swimming at the gym I go to. 

Tomorrows workout

DB RDL
lat pulldown

Ever since I changed my name to John Stamos I've been losing weight lol

30 min run: 2.4 miles
15 min mark: 1.25
- felt super amazing, kept a faster than normal pavery and didn't feel tired at all, wasn't breathing hard, just towards the end my calf was on fire.  Zip


286.8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  -13.2lbs

Bench: 225x3x5
Flyes: 40x3x15
DB OH pressx40x3x20
DB Side raisex a bunch
Triceps

On the bike now and will log more when I get home.

Idk where the zip came from but I am keeping it.

So the run through the trail, the second road that cuts through it I believe is about 1.5 miles so next week I want to be able to hit that by the 15 minute mark on my 30 minute jog.  I probably could have today but I wasnt expecting to lose 3lbs so quickly and have the run be so easy so I held back my pacing. 

As far as the weight it could have easily been from some lack of water weight or something but I didnt sweat much and I didnt feel dehydrated tbh but now I am putting in lifting 3x a week it will be nice to see if my loss of weight was due somewhat to muscle or not.  What I plan on doing for my weight training as you can see is just maintenance, hopefully just keep what I am have now and build on it later. 

I'm about to eat a steak, for lunch I have a salad and for tonight and probably 1/2lb of salami.  If I didnt have the salad then i would have eaten the full pound because it fits my macros better with 99 grams of protein, 11 grams of carbs and 118grams of fats.  THats one thing that I have been lacking lately is getting my fats up and thats why later in the day I feel so dead so my walks at work tend to be sluggish.

Warm upx10 mins at 5mph
4x400 with 400 recovery at 7.1mph
    -  I strung the first 2 together then after that I walked for .15 and jogget the last .1 into the next.  This sucked but it could've been worse and has felt worse.  I think I was a bitch with the recovery.
4x200
      - I felt tired by this and I tied my shoes too tight.  I walked yet again for the recovery portion because I felt sick.  Last one I did it at 9mph and the first 3 were 7.1

nice

In a few weeks I plan on buying a bike so I can stay outside instead of having to go for a long run outside, drive to the gym and hop on the bike inside.

bike to gym and then bike inside? wtf. ;f

Haha I meant I'd go to the trail and do my 30 minute runs, go back to my car get on my bike and go back out onto the trail so I don't have to go to the gym right after and get on a shitty stationary.

What I've eaten today

1 protein shake
2 eggs
1 steak about .5lbs with bbq sauce
I have 1lb of turkey in my lunch cooler so i will probably eat about 1/2lb of that.

My stomach has just shrunk like a mofo, eating meals that would be considered snacks to what I used to eat just fill me up hardcore now.

That is only 1400 calories for the day, say 1500 with my coffee...i had a banana too so about 1611.

So I will be at around 1800-1900 if i eat the full lb of turkey and I guess I will do that if I can, eating kind of just sucks right now.

my macros for the day if i eat the lb of turkey is

C:113.7
F:49.4
P:196.1

I dont like the fat, i should have at least 40 more grams of fat so maybe when I get home I will have a few servings of Pnut Butter.

Very good chance why I feel like poooooop today.

Also I am taking progress pics every 10lbs or so...I just wish that my S6 didn't take such clear pics hahaha

But eventually when I get down to where I want to be I will do something with them.

4 eggs this morning, tried to eat my cube steak from yesterday but gross and too tough.

Protein shake too along with some carbs later.  I also bought 1lb of turkey for later tonight. I'll try not to eat when I get home.

30 min walk this morning and probably 5 miles today at work.

Not doing the test, will be a waste of time.  Instead I will be working towards the next set of jobs to come up.  Granted their fitness tests aren't hard, I still want to treat them like they are so I stick with running. 

The program I put up will start tomorrow considering the gym is closed today.

For the weightlifting portion, I will try to do say 2 for each body part.
Ex.
Push day
OH bb press
Side db raises
Flat bench
DB flyes
DB triceps
Push downs

Forgot the protein shake

1xsmall brownie(square made by a average size spatula)
2x Chicken halves(small ones) with cornell sauce
a cup maybe a little more of some noodle salad stuff.
    -This was my cheat meal for awhile
Later on I will eat maybe half pound of turkey that I bought, maybe less because I get full pretty quick now.

Tomorrow morning

10 minute warm up jog
4x400 2:00 pace/400 recovery
4x200 1:00 pace/200 recovery
30 minute bike ride

The larger track that I will be on(.29) maybe I will add 10-20 seconds onto the time.

Probably low to mid 11k for steps today so around 5.5 miles or so.  I will also on my warm up walking laps tomorrow try to cut into the grass to see if i can cut enough corners to make it .25 per lap.

Pre run I am down 10lbs= 290

1.5 mile run: 14:28 compared to my last one that was a little under 1.5 so I went a little further to make it an actual 1.5 and it was 14:37. 

Mistakes

I didn't hydrate enough beforehand and I used my first lap as a warm up which I should've done before and kept my second and third lap pace the same as my first.  It probadly only would have saved me half a minute or so though.

Looking at the results it seems reasonable if I fail and take the retake 2 weeks later I should be able to barely get it considering I shaved 2 mins off in 1 week 5 days.  Idk though

Post workout weight which I normally do is 289.2

Movie Review

13 hours

10/5 stars

I generally hate Michael bay movies(mainly just transformers) but he did a good job on this one.  Nothing over the top just a breakdown of what happened. 

I'm not going to get into it too much because it will probably start a war so if you're interested in it then I'd recommend watching it.

Ate a quaker bar today and x2 bfast burritos

My run today
Bench up to 300x3(easy)

2 mile run(I will check the distance with my car later)x 19min32seconds
From my house to halfway or a little less than halfway is a steady incline, noticeable but barely then straightens out with some small hills and the last 200m or so is downhill.

All n all it felt good, I immediately started to breathe heavy but I kept composure and pushed through it.

Will go later to run again at the park when it cools down, probably high 80s right now.

Ate almost 1lb of bottom round steak which is about 100g protein and 15 grams of fat at most but mine was super lean.
