Nice, got some progress despite missing last week's beach workout.

Shitty weather ( storms ) + a couple of social events (leading to early morning drunk sleeping) + increased workload + a short buisness trip abroad = derail.
Tbh i kinda needed that so i was fine with it, i planned it to be a few days shorter but im still fine with it. Let's kill it till xmas now.

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : sore legs, mostly quads and glutes. some little chest and lats too
Injuries/aches : none

RUN 7KM @ 40:35

12 days without running. Don't know if that was de-training or recovering. Was hoping to find my set-pace for that distance around 5:5x, gladly it landed at 5:45 easy.
On the bad side , weather is getting winter-ish now. Yesterday it was 5-6 Celsius degrees and strong cold wind. Breathing big amounts of  cold air was making my lungs hurt lol.
Gonna have to deploy my ski equipment, e.g. long sleeved base layers, 3/4 compression pants, wind-stopper face buffs.

Damn it sucks. Feel better man. Its ok about the race, i feel your frustration but you'll find plenty of races. As we say in Greece "fist goes health" (meaning everything else is less important ).

Nice fun strong beach-work day.
Decided not to run 2nd day this week. Skipped bball too. Legs need some rest from the PR madness. Will most probably run at the weekend but will try to keep it light/moderate.

-In other news, my 'race shoes' arrived. Gonna take them for a ride tonight for some hard running, will attempt PRs of 1km and 1500m. Let's see.

19 November 2019

-Slow jog 2KM
-SPRINT 1KM @ 100% : 3:56  , broke the 4 minutes milestone , 

-Slow jog 1KM
-SPRINT 1500M @ 100% : 6:52  , broke the 7 minutes milestone 

-Slow jog/walk 500m

Incredible, just incredible!!! It feels like it is a different person, not me,  like i am dreaming of it and not really achieving it. Im looking at the tracker and laugh like an idiot each time. Unreal.
I think i am good for much more : body was feeling beat up. It's been a month that i quit smoking and EVERY running session since then has been a PR, most of them multiple PRs. At the same time every gym session has been season-best performance and off days were only 1 per week. Too much.
Anyway, i am very happy with all that progress and with this outstanding sub-4' km and sub-7' 1500 i am summing it up. I am returning to normal training. No more chase PRs at every run. New smoke-less PRs have been established for all distances, from now on they will be challenged only at planned PR-breaking sessions.

RUN 10K @ 56:54 

Oh boy. Ive run 10K only once again in my life and i did it in 70 minutes. Now 15 minutes faster, done 'comfortable', this was not a time trial.
To make this even more impressive, i didn't carb up, didn't warm up, road was wet ( had just rained ) and relative humidity was over 90%.

Wait, there's more, here are the splits :
5K : 28:00 , third fastest EVER at this course
6K : 33:37 , lifetime  , previous was 34:16
7K : 39:25 , lifetime  , previous was 40:04
8K : 44:57 , lifetime  , previous was 45:29

Funny related story:
I had a cat when i was a university student. He liked that bite your hand when you sleep thing. Full commando style, he would go under the bed and do sudden attacks, then retreat to the middle of the bed where he was unreachable. Long story short we started sleeping with doors closed ( was living with my brother ). One of my brother's doors was a rolling one though, which wouldn't lock. But it seemed too heavy for a few months old kitten to open. The little bastard figured it out. He would lie parallel to the door, but both of his front legs in the few milimeters opening ( his claws actually ), pull with all he got until he created a couple of centimeters opening, then stand up go stick his face in there and widen it moving his head, then the same with his body, boom, he was in. And he was doing it mechanically, routine style, like "i got this, 3 steps to open it, 1,2,3, done"
Dreyth this one has an awesome face.
