Comment
It was a nice day, a little windy, but bearable. The warm ups went well and the runs were ok as it had rained today so it was a little slipping during midway, my trousers are strange when I lift my knee it feels tight near knee area, so had to pull front up to make it loose so I can lift it nicely, the first run was ok, slipped a little in middle so focused leg drive as well, but on second run concentrating on leg drive didn't work for some reason and my second run was not good, third run was ok, fourth was ok and last was good. Than started my bodyweight workout, pistol squats are hard even when i place weight on heels I feel tension a little on knees until after a while it gets better by stress moving to my quads, the pushup claps were good, did handstand push up after but wasn't strong enough to go deep, than I did GHR it was ok up to 3rd rep and then after my body starts to tilt forward when coming up so was hard to align in when coming up, struggle and second rep, same, but focused hard on keeping back aligned, maybe because I am placing my toes in a gap under a door, so that makes it harder, don't have anything or anyone who can hold my feet down, so calves also get a beating, than did wide weighted eagle sit ups, these are soo hard, that with a heavy weight it was hard to get up, harder than it looked, no hard because of weight but because my legs are spread, it makes it harder to get up for some reason, but it targets the hip flexor as well as core, it is hard when you hold weight near chest but if you hold it above a bit easier, feel it in my flexor just by lying down with legs wide. than finished with calf raise jumps followed by single leg calf lowering exercise, feel awkward as jump is slow and low so want to try jump and not cheat. So that sums up todays workouts.
I finally got a reply from the track nearby and they said to use track it is 3.50 pounds pay as you go, which is about $5.80 a day so will have to think about how I can plan it.
So an alright day of workout, very hard and good at the same time.
