Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Party's Over!
« on: January 29, 2019, 06:03:52 am »is the toe improving tho? hopefully it is. that's a rough one. flares up occasionally too for me, but not sideline level.
also that's good news about the military tests! sucks about the backlog tho.
It comes and goes. Overall it has improved but I've become too restless doing nothing. Had a light training session today.
Chin Ups-
bwx10x4
Treadmill-
300 calories including 11:30 minutes at 11.5 km/h.

It's been hot in my city!
I've been restraining myself from training due to my toe. It's soo hard. All I've been doing is hundreds of push ups and sit ups in preparation for my initial army fitness test. I've been drinking less alcohol and eating less trying to lose weight.

Just some of the crazy interval training sessions 1500m/Mile World Record Holder HIcham El Guerrouj used to do.
* 10 x 300m in 35-36 seconds (3-4min jog rest) with surges and help from a “rabbit.”
* 6 x 500m with surges and help from a “rabbit” the first 300m in each repetition. 500m's in 1:08-1:09.
* 10 x 400m between 53-54 seconds with only 30 seconds recovery.
* 1600m (4:08), 1200m (3:05), 800m (1:54), 600m (1:23), 400m (54) with short recoveries starting with 1 min going down to 30 seconds!
* 4 x 2000m in 5:10 with 2 min recovery
* 6 x 1000m in 2:30 with 2 min recovery

The Saints were all over the Rams in the 1st Half. Not being able to convert the territory into enough TD cost us the game. That drop by Arnold in the end zone
Always next year...

« on: January 21, 2019, 12:04:32 am »Soreness-
Left big toe
I didn't log it in my journal but a few weeks ago I was messing around playing basketball and doing a few max effort single leg jumps (left leg). Out of nowhere I went for an attempt and immediately after my toe was sore. It got better within a day or two and has been relatively normal since but at the start of this week when I went back to work it got aggravated again (wearing work shoes). Today it was soo painful. How the fuck am I supposed to lose weight, train or do anything physically productive when I can't even fkn walk...shiiit!
I think I'm just going to rest for a few weeks. Last year I was injured throughout the entire rugby season because I always tried to push through the pain and train and come back as fast as possible, which did nothing but make the injury worse or lead to another one. Fkn hell
Edit- Rugby pre-season starts tomorrow on 20th Jan but I've messaged the coach and said I won't be at training for a few weeks but will play this season.
damn that sucks man :/
sounds kinda like turf toe?? if so, turf toe takes a while to heal. i've had it a few times. :/
Yes it could be. I'm not taking any chances.
I had my YOU session for the Army today and progressed to the next stage. Most of the day consisted of filling out forms for security clearances and medical questionnaires. I also sat a 30 minute aptitude test (easy) and a 20 minute math test, which I passed easily. After that I met with a 'career's coach' for about 20 minutes and he just went over the choices I'd made (Infantry & Artillery Light Gunner) and gave me some documents to read and talked about the next stages of the recruitment process. Apparently there's an 18+ month backlog for the Air Force but they are recruiting for Army Reserves so it could take anywhere between weeks and months to get enlisted.
I scored 70/75 in the aptitude test and 25/27 in the math test.
I've applied for 3 full time jobs this year but I haven't heard back from any of them.

also, it's almost 30s slower per km than eliud kipchoge's WR marathon.

You can't beat the basketball bug haha.
This exercise looks awesome:
Sounds like your body is responding well to the training. Being pain and ache free is a great feeling.

I've been back to work for 3 days. Pretty much got the silent treatment from the managers on Monday (since I told them I wanted to leave before my holiday). The last two days have been better. Job wise there's not much being advertised.
Squat-
60x6
90x4
100x3
110x3
85x9
Pull Ups-
7x4
Treadmill-
I burnt 350 calories but it was a disappointing session.
I ran 11 km/h for 10:30 minutes. After that I attempted to run at 17.7km/h speed for 2:30 minutes but was mentally weak and stopped after 1:45 minutes. Physically I had more in the tank but mentally I just gave up. Maybe I was fatigued from the 10:30 minutes since I usually just walk on the treadmill. Either way disappointing.
