Alright that was it for this 'season'.
Stated goals in the beginning was to hit sub 25' 5K , sub 60' 10k , complete a half marathon even walking.
Also some weightroom goals that i wont even state coz i failed all by far.
Couldn't have done much better considering the spine injury in December.
Almost got the 5K two times, one pre (25:15) and one post ( 22:57 4,5K , projecting 25:10 ) injury, both at races, not even close when training alone.
Didint even run 10K at any time ( max was 9 ) let alone the half marathon.

Time to recharge batteries. Talk 'soon'...
:almostascoolasnyancat:

had some great runs even with the injury setbacks etc. hopefully next season less tweaks, then you'll get that 10k and probably feel fit enough for a half.

pc man! enjoy the time off.

The soreness I get from climbing is really interesting. From my normal chinup training the soreness I get, when I get sore from it (which isn't very often), is localised to quite high up on my lats. From climbing the main soreness is rear delts and really low down on my lats, near where they insert at the hip.

reminds me of rings.

you don't do rings too much right? i'm going to get back on my rings soon. they make your abs contract much harder.

Ball game last night. We won easily but played against a bunch of wanna be morons. Lots of pushing and shoving from them. Elbows thrown under the rim. Lots of c bombs thrown about. Just lucky for me I'm bigger and stronger than them. One of their players got sat twice during the game for abusing the ref who was an 18 year old girl. It's so satisfying to win against guys like this.

damn sounds like some bums.

hate competing against people like that. their dirty stuff can end up bad.

After visiting the doctor to get insight into the jaundice thing, the doctor read from the diagnosis from 2009, which I had not received information about till now that I have Gilbert syndrome.

Quote
Gilbert syndrome is a relatively mild condition characterized by periods of elevated levels of a toxic substance called bilirubin in the blood (hyperbilirubinemia). Bilirubin, which has an orange-yellow tint, is produced when red blood cells are broken down. This substance is removed from the body only after it undergoes a chemical reaction in the liver, which converts the toxic form of bilirubin (unconjugated bilirubin) to a nontoxic form called conjugated bilirubin. People with Gilbert syndrome have a buildup of unconjugated bilirubin in their blood (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia). In affected individuals, bilirubin levels fluctuate and very rarely increase to levels that cause jaundice, which is yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes.

Gilbert syndrome is usually recognized in adolescence. If people with this condition have episodes of hyperbilirubinemia, these episodes are generally mild and typically occur when the body is under stress, for instance because of dehydration, prolonged periods without food (fasting), illness, vigorous exercise, or menstruation. Some people with Gilbert syndrome also experience abdominal discomfort or tiredness.

damn weird :/

where'd you get that diagnosis? you got blood tests etc? get a second opinion eventually.

i guess from that description, try to also make sure you're hydrating properly. if you're not, start forcing yourself to drink glasses of water every few hours - or do like i do, finish two 1.5L bottles every day. makes it easy to know how much you're drinking.

pc!

So around 2008-2009 I had yellowing of the eyes and slight abdominal pains, I went to the doctor, which they originally diagnosed me with jaundice because of the yellowing of the eyes, blood test and yellow urine. They said it was a liver infection later on.

Later on they carried out a ultra sound, which they found that there was nothing wrong with my liver and it was clear. But the symptoms of jaundice was there.

After some time they came to a conclusion and probably told my parents about it, but I was never aware of what was wrong with me.

A few years ago when fasting I had the same yellowing of the eyes quite a bit, because of fasting, when the days were the longest of the year.

Recent I had a stomach infection and went to the doctors in India and they said Jaundice but after some tests said it was mild effects of jaundice and I never did another ultra sound there to confirm as it was already confirmed but also didn't have the money. There I did blood test and urine test.

I went to the doctors here in the UK because of the remaining effects of the stomach infection was there but also explanation of the yellowing of the eyes, which was mild. So the doctor gave the diagnosis they gave in 2009, only that I was unaware of it and this is the first time I am hearing it, but it's good to have an explanation of what it is and why it is happening.

I will get a blood test tomorrow and see what that says.

ahhh damn!!!

I get thirsty more quicker than hungry so I will try and drink plenty of water. Also don't want to get self conscious and let it effect my training. What about mixing glucose with water than drinking water on it's own.

mix glucose with water occasionally, but i'd try to drink pure water (or electrolyte "infused" water) more than sugary drinks. drinking "sugar water" often has its' own set of risks.

that's funny, we're moving on the same day,

hah ya. a nice little coincidence there :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

:highfive:

although gf and i won't finish our move until we find a place in london in early september. this is the first time i've had to use professional movers, always just used a combination of self and parents/friends before. when i moved from the states to pakistan it was just two boxes sent via fedex and a couple of suitcases.

ya even tho i have 8 boxes so far, they'll pretty much all fit in my car. also it's small things like dog toys, books, clothes, shoes, and some computer stuff.

oh and 2 puppies. lol.

leaving the power rack. bringing the 45 deg hyper. will buy a sturdy dip/pullup station.

also bringing an orchid.

but my gf and i have managed to accumulate several substantial pieces of furniture that we want to hold onto,

ahh. ya i didn't want to move any of my existing furniture. figured i'd just leave it with my dad, for when i visit etc. would rather just get some new stuff anyway.

moving furniture sucks.

Quote
a couple hundred books (how did i let that happen?! i finally bought a kindle before i moved out here specifically to avoid getting more books!), and a bunch of art. so movers it is.

hah ya. even tho kindle is efficient, actual books > kindle IMHO. they take up space but, feels good looking at a row/shelf of good books.

i have some of my aunt's art that i'm bringing, and a piece i bought a while ago. i plan on doing some of my own art in the new spot, want to get back into it.



sounds like your move is going to be pretty intense.. i mean you're moving stuff over some big distance, definitely need pros for that.

good luck man! a few days away.

« on: July 27, 2019, 04:58:58 pm »
hah cool. was watching the 1500m (US CHAMPS) and I wanted:

1. Simpson
2. Houlihan
3. Hiltz

and we got:

1. Houlihan
2. Simpson
3. Hiltz

Hiltz being the wild card. She's pretty beast. Great to see her get on Team USA.

That Shelbo kick is ruthless. Excited to see what her & Simpson can do in the World Championships. Top contenders for sure.

bw.

leveled off at 150 it seems, without running. plan was to run this weekend so, i imagine that'll give it a nice boost to drop again next week.

149 lb before bed tho. tehehe.

definitely looking much leaner lately. luv it. can't wait to get more shredded than ever.



07/26/2019:
- morning bw: 150

dinner:
- cookies & cream milk shake with whipped cream!

07:30 PM: bw
- weak
- 5sec paused dead hang ng pullups: BW x 6
- full dips: BW x 5

did some stretching in between: standing hip flexor (which also hits low back/glutes decent). stepped onto the pool and moved around etc. felt a few really good cracks. injury area felt alot better afterwards, for the rest of the night. injury area felt kind of shitty all day prior tho.
