- run 4km in 18:36

- stretch

late start because gf decided at the last minute she wanted to come to the track as well. wasn't feeling great this morning in any case. but ~4:40 is a very sustainable track pace now, which is good.

ETA: also, shoulder feels none the worse for wear after saturday's experiment. it's not healed but it's not worse. will continue adding upper stuff back in cautiously.

EDIT: evening

- GMB warm up

- tiger tail calves and soleus

- pistol work x a little bit
got two clean on left leg, right leg and rest of left were top-to-bottom with a rock back.

- front levers x a couple

- KB rows x 14/arm

- band pull aparts x 10

just to do something. easing back in.

yeah it wasn't a comment so much about quantity as about content. you're adding and taking away whole categories of food all at once, that alone could be messing with you.

weird about stomach. have you thought about talking to a dietician? you're freestyling these adjustments. pro might be able to get some explanation for what types of foods make you feel good and bad and give you a little more structure.

- migraine x 6 hours
fffffuuu

feel better now but decided probably best to just let myself rest. first migraine in something like two years.

 

So i went for a run for 1.2 miles. Sprinted/jog/walked.... was out of breath almost....

This is good, but i definitely will not be doing this too much.

counterpoint: do it more.

on the football players dunking vid, NB: cole beasley is 5'8" at most. the pump reverse two-hander he throws down at 1:05 is awesome. saw it originally on deadspin where the headline or caption or whatever was, "pro athletes are different from you and me." true.

16:00 is elite. there's no way on god's green earth that 16:00 is the 90th percentile for all ages, let alone masters.

just checked actually and 16:00 would have placed 12th at the 2015 world masters athletics outdoor championships in the M35 category (i.e. 35-39 year-olds). that's pretty good.

also, on the pin squats, it looks like your butt is drifting back after you set the bar down and you're losing tension. try to just tap the bar on the pins while keeping form intact, don't let yourself relax in the bottom. recipe for low back injury IMO.
