Alright I may be too lazy to update everything, so maybe just my daily weight and my workouts for now. i can track calories and protein on my phone
194lbs this morning
Unfortunately the max speed of the treadmill at the gym is 23km/h.
I was going to gradually work up to 36km/h see how it feels but that's not possible anymore, will have to see if I can find another place to use just for treadmill or buy my own if financially possible.
You know, there's no speed limit on a track....
That's true, but there is a limit to my speed.Quoteya i'd never buy a treadmill. if some facility has one that goes way up in speed to occasionally use, cool. if not, real sprinting.
Buying one after looking is just financially impossible, they are purpose built and wouldn't be used that much and so I go around and look for any facilities but I doubt it so I guess it's back to my favorite track work, which is reverse of over-speed training is resistance training, sled work.
- run 7.57 km in 38:56
- stretch
right at good relaxed pace (5:08) but felt rusty. on the bright side, as i was getting home the guard from two houses down flagged me to stop and said that someone inside wanted to talk to me. curious, i waited. out came the brazilian deputy ambassador, who said he'd seen me running and wanted to tell me about a new track that's near our neighborhood. and that he'd be happy to run with me because it looks like i'm up for training. "really nice training," he said. and he gave me his card. funny.
It's mildy difficult to explain...but...here goes 😂🤷♂️
I never had an issue until I got hit by a drunk driver one night. I was sore but, having been in a, ahem, few wrecks before I figured it was normal. Well it wasn't. Something happened to my right side spinal erectors. It first happened a few months after the wreck. Warmup deadlift. It "popped". Like I can feel it and HEAR it in my head. And it's like I pull it? There's like a golf ball sized tight spot there. Severity just depends on my stupidity afterward and how bad the initial pop was. I've seen a PT and he said it acts like I "threw" my back out (ie slipped disc or something) but it's not centered spinally? It's definitely an erector issue and so far only that right side. The few times it's been worse than average acupuncture and dry needling has seriously relieved it which points towards a muscular issue? It's weird lol!
That said this one wasn't too bad. It's mildly tight today but no soreness or pain. I managed some light jumps and DB lunges and RDLs (light) last night and woke up with no discernable issues. The week off definitely helped tho. I felt "weak" but my legs felt so light. Very "quick" in warmups just lacking some oomph. I think this is what it feels like to be fully recovered CNS/muscular wise 😂
That said Im going to skip heavy back/front squats and deadlifts for the month of December and hit some lunge variations and maybe some SL DB BSS or possibly RDL and see how I respond. Should keep me fresher and allow my body to fully recover from spinal stressors I put on it weekly. Worst case my max lifts go down some. Best case I become more balanced unilaterally and hopefully that shows in some speed and explosive movements
meant to run last night but started to get a headache on the drive home and it became crippling. went to bed at 9:30 and slept for 10 hours instead. head still hurts a bit this morning. but not a migraine. weird.
that race walk video is absolutely bananas. how.
there's a benard langat on iaaf who is a 5k runner with a 14:30 PR set in 2017, but he was born in 2000. doubtful that he ran that at age 10!
And of course. Back went out tonight on set 2of 435 doubles. Weird. Warmups felt absolutely explosive. Top single of 475 FLEW up. First set went easy and the second FELT easy but I felt it pop and just dropped it. Fuck my life. No more lifting this week, will try again next Sunday if I recover well. May drop all squat and deadlift for a month and focus on explosive accessory work. Sounds fun in season.
Otherwise interesting night for all the wrong reasons lol
