15 February

3K low aerobic HR zone warmup
Sprint 3x800m / 2 minutes walking rest
1K low aerobic HR zone down

First HIIT run since October (!!!)
Was aiming/expecting a just-below-5:00 pace, indeed i got 4:57 for the first 2 sprints, then went all out at the last one and got 4:33
Not bad at all.

^^^
I like the swings. Remind me of the good old vert training day
Yes i do tilt. Not planned, it comes naturally, it is a p-chain dominant explosive exercise so i subconsciously posterior-tilt and squeeze that old butt at the end.

Even faster than last week but legs are dead. Quads specifically, they are muscularly fatigued.
3*weights + 3 *cardio / week doesn't come for free at this age.

Id say anatomy. Long legs short tosro, if i bring the bar lower i have to bend even more. Plus it always felt off, i prefer high bar, always did.

I realized i was just going through the workouts lately. Won't progress much like that.
Decided to push the weights and focus on form, making me approach or reach failure in every exercise.
