16 March

Low aerobic zone run 9K @ 1:08:25 ( 7:36 pace )

Pretty good. Reminder : keep consistent with those runs,, they are the key to progress!

9 March

C1a : OVERHEAD PRESS : 15 @ 25 kg
C1b : BICEP CURLS : 12 @ 25 kg
C1c : CHAIR TRICEP DIPS : 15 @ BW
C1 info : 8 rounds

Too cold and windy to run so lifted. Same story with yesterday, low motivation but pushed through it.

trying not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. i'm very goal-oriented so it's hard to keep motivation once i feel like i'm falling away from the level i should be training at to reach my goal. but that's a trap that leads to "well, fuck it then." it's better to do a little bit than none at all, and when i'm in a place again where i can push toward the goal i won't be as out of shape. plus exercise makes me feel good.

This is GOLD!
I've tried to work around the same problem and i keep failing. So many times i skip workouts because i don't have 45' to do 400 reps of lifting or 1h to do at least 10K of easy run or 90m for a long slow run.
Well fuck it, 15-20m of small-rest-break lifting or 30' of a 5-6K easy run or 45' of slow run are so much better than skipping ( not to even mention the added frustration of skipping ).

YAY!!!! Establish annual skwad ski meeting ASAP, it will rotate continent bi-yearly, kickstart February 2023 in Trois Valeess ,  then February 2024 in Aspen and so on (daydreaming)

not even joking, let's do it. but not aspen. i've never skied out west but if i were going to, i'd pick a place like sun valley or big sky, somewhere a little less expensive and crowded.

You know what, that's actually a great idea lol. intercontinental flight for a ski-trip is not so convenient, but still. Let's keep it in the back of out heads for next year.
Btw Aspen is the only one i know in the US so that's why i mentioned it, i also much prefer non-crowded resorts that base their cost on what's on the slopes, not around them.

Back to boring reality:

3 March

Easy run 10K @ 58:23 ( 5:50 pace )
Low aerobic HR zone cool down 2K @ 17:22 ( 8:40 pace )

Easy run was expectedly a bit slower due to de-training but pacing was steady and feeling was true easy, pleasant surprise!
Also, for while i cant find the time/conditions to do the low aerobic run, i will be adding more of it as warmup/cooldowns in other workouts.

F*ck Sony, under Muso TNT, deleted my secondary gaming YouTube channel...
All those years of work making, uploading and editing my videos down the tubes
Plus losing whatever subs I had.
What gives Sony the right to just do things like this?!
And you can't even reverse it

Wow that really really sucks! Building it up slowly, creating a context, an audience, a style, giving it work and hours... and then its gone, poof!
No reasoning given? Some kind of terms of use violation or sth?

22 February

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 15 @ BW
SS1b : BENT ROWS : 20 @ 25kg
SS1 info : 10 rounds

Finally the reset-form 15-rep pushups sets started feeling a little less difficult.

18 February

Low aerobic zone run 11K @ 1:21:11 ( 7:23 pace )

Wow big progress, last week it was 10K @ 7:53,so i was 30s per km faster while going 1km more too. Very nice.

19 February

VO2-max run

3.5K warmup
Sprint 5x800m / 3.5 minutes walking rest
2K cool down

Target pace for the 800s is 4:21
I got 4:33 / 4:32/ 4:34 / 4:27 / 4:30

Haven't done the 800m-sprints workout for almost 2 months now. Failed to get target paces but at least i was still around 4:30, pretty close.
