Kept it really easy. Think one of my mistakes w/ running last year was pushing the pace on easy days just a little bit more than necessary.

BW - 71.8kg
Workout
Chins
BW x 2, 2 [pulling hard as possible, getting really high on these]
+16kg x 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3
Half Crimp Deadhangs
BW x 24mm edge x 7s, 7s, 7s
3 Finger Drag Deadhangs
BW x 24mm edge x 6s, 6s
SS1A Dips
BW x 12, 11, 10
SS1B KB Rows
24kg x 8, 8
Standing Ab Wheel
BW x 3 partial reps [just feeling out where I am on this]
Kneeling Ab Wheel
BW x 10 [this set was immediately after the standing set], 12
Ab compression
Hands by knees x 12s, 12s
Notes
3/7 exams done, today's one went great.
Excellent workout! Might see where I am on +24kg next time I chin. Ordered some 1.25kg plates so that I'm not just stuck with +16/24/40kg, lol.
Basically don't care too much about strength in things that aren't grip or chin/pullups at the mo, so I moved hangs ahead of dips in the workout. Volume on other stuff may increase with time as I get a bit more workout fit, I guess.
Also, did some more reading about hanging protocols -- seems, interestingly, that the consensus view is repeaters are a more dangerous protocol than just straight sets of hangs, so shall leave them be for a while. Shall build up to sets of 15s hangs, then maybe at a little weight, before moving down a ledge again.

Run --
3.06mi in 29:03 [9:29 pace]
Notes
Had a time press this morning so squeezed this in w/o accessory work. Felt meh.
After exams over think I might start a cut, aiming to drop ~6kg down to 65kg. I'm not lean at all at my current weight, and becoming a twig with some lats is probs useful for both climbing and running.
Edit:
messed around a bit with some core stuff, managed some easy pistol singles w/ the 16kg KB

Notes
2/7 exams done. Hardest one was today and went okay. Abbreviated and kind of weak feeling workout, but still happy. Alternating w/ max hangs and repeaters, happy to get 3x9s on the middle ledge.
Compression stuff feels pretty useful for climbing. Hard core stuff is either holding a solid hollow position (so ab wheel good for that), or bring legs really high. Also, my quads always cramp up if I do L-Sits or the off leg during pistol squat, so good way to work on that particular trait.

hah. i have a good grasp on pace km to min/mi conversions for <= 3:05 only. distance conversions are decent across the board.
you going to night of the 10k pb's this year?
last year's results are so crazy.
world lead 10k this year, prior to Rhonex dropping 26:50, was like 27:30.. and a dude dropped 27:35 at no10kpbs last year, several 27:XX's.
https://www.thepowerof10.info/results/results.aspx?meetingid=234742&pagenum=1#10000
crazy.
Yeah, I was at the race last year! It was a super nice environment, so I hope to go back this year. The friends I went with were pretty involved in running during university, so they know or recognise a lot of the big names who came from that scene, which made watching v exciting.

SS1A SL Calf Raise
+16 x 10, 9, 8 [+BW burnout + double leg burnout]
SS1B Pistol Squat

Notes
Nice easy run [avg HR ~148, which is solid in this heat]. 25c/75f outside today, so I melted. Remembered to wear a hat + sun screen, though.
This makes this week a running volume PR since starting up again -- 18.3mi/30km.

Total 10.2km ~6k easy then 3k progression [5:41, 5:18, 4:52], then cooldown jog. Total time 1:01:05
Notes
Didn't plan on this, and legs felt quite heavy/slow for first while, probably because of pistol squats the other day. Just felt like pushing it lightly after a while, though, so did this.

Deadhang Repeaters
Top ledge x BW x 2 x 6x(5on/5off) [i.e. two sets of 6 clusters of 5 seconds hanging/5 secs rest] -- failed right at end of last hang of second set.
Kneeling Ab Wheel
BW x 10, 10
Hanging Knee Raise
BW x 7, 6
Notes
Really liked the repeater protocol, even if it is unwieldy to log. Got a real forearm pump going, whereas w/ the 10-15s sets I don't really get that. Figure pump is good -- the repeater thing is more like a bodybuild rep scheme, which I think is good. My fingers are not very "mature" yet, so it's good to just get lots of TUT/practice doing it + build some specific muscle. Can progress them by increasing sets, then changing the timing -- gold standard in climbing community is 7on/3off.
Felt strong overall! I fucking suck at hanging knee raises, lol, must stick with them.
Exams started -- likely no climbing till they're finished (21/6) since it's so time consuming.

Bad sleep, legs felt totally flat. Still, run is worthwhile and this stuff happens.
Thanks! Might play around with it a bit -- probably mostly, as you say, as part of warmup for a session/workout when I start incorporating those again.

@adarq -- what do you think of running form drills, like A-skips, B-skips, butt kicks, etc?
my advice might be a bit useless considering i don't do drills and i'm slow.
i don't really understand a/b skips tbh.
butt kicks/leg swings/hurdle mobility, yea that stuff is effective - from a mobility/flexibility/coordination perspective.
as far as more strict running form/mechanics drills go with considerable time spent on it during a session, not much of a fan. seems like a waste to me. it's fine as part of a warmup though. probably most effective when it's done as part of a warmup, to progressively wake those motor patterns up.
2cents!
pc!

After yesterday's feel good vibes I couldn't really sleep last night and feel beat up.
Rest day. Flat upstairs started leaking into mine, and I've got final exams coming up. Stress abounds. Training may take a slight back foot, but it keeps me feeling good when otherwise stressed so I'm not dropping it.
