hmm.. Wade is looking really good tonight in that Heat uniform. Drives/dunks, great passing, looking fast etc.. maybe he's re-found some fire? I imagine he has.

interesting.

45 day plan:
IM cutting to <90kg then i will stop cutting and recomp at <90kg while tryna get a 180kg BS and my fitness level from 20kg (empty bar) to like 100kg for reps. Don't listen to the guys on this forum who could take months off and come back and rep 100kg easy peasy tell you about what it takes to get in shape.. they are in better shape without training than you ever have been in your entire life

lol what's that in reference to? ;d

get it.

SQUAT - EMBRACED CORE = BACK INJURY

Without embracing more core last workout I could hardly manage 100kg and didn't know what the reason was and came out with a sore lower back and this time I could comfortably squat 110kg with embraced core and a safer back and felt more powerful the more I embraced my core.

The power of the core  :headbang:

nice!!

I used to do all that through simply breathing, lots of air + valsalva.

this is so great .. wait for the end .. "a guy in Iten just ran 1:00:09 .. 1:03's aren't cutting it anymore"



He's referring to Julien Wanders who just ran 1:00:09 this weekend.

- interval workout
-- warm up run 2.00 km @ 4:53 pace
-- 500m x 7 @ [1:58, 1:56, 1:58, 1:58, 1:56, 1:58, 1:57], 1:00 walking rest
-- cool down run 1.76 km @ 5:40 pace (dead, calves especially right not into it, took a couple short walking breaks)
mental game. brain still bargaining with me to cut the number of intervals short but i did one more than last time. fuck you brain. total distance 8.09 km, total time 40:28.

- stretch

also this keeps me over 40 km for the last seven-day period.

brains are bitches.

Walk .5 run 1 walk .5 run 1

Did some studying while walking and running.  For my interview i have to know stuff that doesnt pertain to me or the job in any way, shape or form lol

awesome!

studying/reading + walking = solid. I used to do that alot, and also get some short sprints/runs mixed in, feels amazing. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

i'm a huge fan of it.

Workout

Run - 5.86mi in 56:16 [9:09, 9:35, 9:35, 9:42, 9:48, 9:49 pace]

Notes

Legs pretty effing tired from yesterday, but I just really wanted to run. As such I kept it super easy. Avg HR was 141BPM, which is pretty low for me (usually run in the mid 150s).

Also tried to just not look at my watch at all. In light of that I'm pretty chuffed with the level pacing through the middle of the run.

Another easy run tomorrow, then 3mi tempo on Thursday is the plan.

Just haven't had the urge to lift, since running is much more fun than going to the gym.

haha that's dope.. and you're just in the beginning stages. It gets way more fun (track workouts, advanced workouts, long run variations, fartleks, training partners/groups), the better/more experienced you get.. so that's something to look forward too -> fun to a much higher power.

Quote
Similarly not sure I'm gonna bother with measuring BW for a while, just gonna let intuitive eating and gradual build up of running volume handle body composition. Should still make myself lift at least 1x/week so avoid too much muscle loss.

ya for sure .. that's what I normally do with calisthenics: just to prevent muscle loss and maybe to put on just a little bit more mass. Without lifting or calisthenics, you can really drop alot of muscle mass. It can be beneficial up to a point, but we're also physique-ish driven so, eventually it becomes annoying not to keep some on or "stay sharp".

as far as gym goes, probably can spare all of your upper body mass just doing what I do: dip/pushup variations, pullup/chinup variations. For legs, might need to hit the actual gym once a week, and maybe on another day just hit some lunges, calf raises, single leg rdl's, stepups, etc.

BW exercises are much more fun/fulfilling if you're into running etc, from my experience.. It just makes way more sense IMHO.

I've cut out calisthenics/BW exercises before, but I ALWAYS come back to them .. so probably best to not detrain, because you'll end up incorporating it back in eventually.

good work! thursday sounds fun!

peace!

felt good, not great. lack of sleep & jumping right into track work with no warmup (i started off slow tho) didn't help. Absolutely drenched within a few minutes.

top of right foot STILL bugging me from tying my shoe too tight a few weeks ago.. so annoying.

absolutely nothing tomorrow, no walking etc.. then going to do some speed thursday with another long run attached. Then two days rest and my first half marathon race. 8|

It's going to be "scorching+humid af" for Sunday's half/full, sooo.. better get used to it quick - which is what I basically am trying to do today & thursday HEH.





after: right calf a bit tender, top of right foot a little but better than before the 20 miles (lol) .. these long workouts make me feel GREAT.



runlikeagirl update: she got sick yesterday .. too sick to run. :/ annoying, because she's on fire right now and pretty much ready to drop a nasty half on Sunday.. so hopefully she recovers 100% by Thursday so we can get our last scheduled workout in. Everyone might be a little wrecked though, apparently it's going to be very hot & very humid, bad combo. I still think she could PR in those conditions though. Her last half was 1:24:XX in pretty cold (ideal) running temperatures, but she's in even way better shape now (it seems). So bad conditions or not, should be able to crush it.

cavs going from train-wreck to potentially steam-roller is just hilarious. I can't get over it. Seeing Lebron on the bench happy af, wildin' out as his new teammates go off... it's just hilarious to me for some reason. Everyone who hates the Cavs/Lebron was just so happy, after this trade -> maybe not so much.

dno just cracks me up. :trollface: :trolldance:
