TREADMILL : 45 minutes / 6.5K

I hate treadmill with passion, but its freezing and windy outside so had no other option ( it doesn't help that my most convenient run time is around 9PM ).
Very much out of shape, but ill get it back.

No running weekend, again. Mostly because it was quite social and i was too bored to squeeze a run at the few free time windows.
I am growing very annoyed from this, gotta build my discipline and consistency back up asap!

Happy new year!  :highfive:

Almost 3 weeks totally off due to 2 weeks of Xmas holidays including getting covid during the 2nd one. I passed it very light (not even fever) but let myself without training a few more days, just in case.

Plan for next year : back to the usual stuff , 2 days/week lift + some light cardio, 1 day less lifts more cardio, 3 running days ( easy / long slow / HIIT ).
Races goals : sub-22' 5K , 45' 10K / 1:45 half.

Run 6K @ 40:37 ( 6:46 pace )

Embarrassingly bad run, the worse i can remember. I actually gassed out at around 4K and grinded the next 2K in high 7s pace.
In my defense, last run before this was 7 December and legs were ultra sore from squatting. Plus it was very humid.
But still that was a way too bad run to cope with.

Edit: I looked back to see how i did his August, after returning from  4 weeks of summer holiday no running, to compare. Here is what i found:

25 August

Easy run 7K @ 47:33 ( 6:47 pace )

As if i wasn't de-trained enough from 1 month since last run, i was also extremely sore from yesterday's squats and on top of that there was 90% humidity.
Lol absolutely horrible run, I'm surprised i even finished it.

WTF , gimme the red pill, can't handle more matrix dejavus!!!!

^^^^^^
It is the corporate gym and it doesn't have a rack for "general safety" reasons (yeah, if i was the boss i wouldn't want my employees doing free squats either). Not that you can't injure yourself with other lifts, but i get it. So i can't add equipment.
But this first video is a nice idea for heavier singles. It will work nice if i raise those dip bars a bit. Thanks!



Entering final week for this training block. Will be posting my first week loads too for final progress comparison.

Futbol (soccer) / Re: 2022 Qatar world cup
« on: December 20, 2022, 04:00:15 am »
I have watched all WC finals since 1986 ( actually i remember watching the 1982 one too, at my grandpa's cottage, on B&W tv, but i wasn't really watching, didn't understand/care for football then). This year's final can only compare to that 1986 one. No point comparing anyway, but those 2 are by far the best finals those last 36 years.
Also, interestingly (at least) enough, it was a 3-2 Argentina win back then: Argentina was leading 2-0 , they got tied in the last quarter but found a winning goal at the end!  :o
