New year new me

Let's try this again.

I'm not really sure what my goals are at the moment. My training is more about just... Try to stay healthy, not get fat, feel fit and happy. The last year or so has been pretty mad with sitting finals, being in Nepal for a few months and then starting work in hospitals here and some of my coping mechanisms have been....questionable and resulted in some  serious low points.

I would like to get back into Olympic lifting at somepoint but I'm still fighting with some SI joint issues. I have never stopped training for more than a week or so but its just been aimlessly going through the motions, hence my lack of motivation to log etc. My baseline strength is a long way away from where it once was, especially lower body.

Been enjoying my running a lot these days and probably going to sign up to the city 10k in April. I ran my first ever 10k on NYE (55m on pretty rough terrain). Aerobic fitness is probably my priority at the moment - I'm climbing mont blanc in June so that's a pretty important goal for me and offering some motivation.

Anyway enough internal monologue

3/2/19
Easy treadmill 5k at 11km/h pace

4/1/19
Goblet squat 20kg 3 x 20
Deadlift 120kg 3 x 5
Single leg leg press 69kg 2 x 10, 61kg x 10
Peterson step ups 4 x 20
RKC plank 2 x 20s - got mad ab cramps lol so gave up

5/1/19

Pull up bw 3 x 10 (tough)
Dips 20kg 3 x 10
1 arm cable row 25kg 2 x 12
Inc BP 24 kg x 12 (really crampy gave up? Dehydrated)
Db curls 12kg 2 x 12 - used to go heavier but now concentrating a bit more
Tris 35kg 2 x 12
Lateral raise 5kg 1 x 20

Most of this stuff I'm doing single arm at a time apart from pull ups and Dips OFC lol

Row 20 mins nice slow steady recovery pace

Stretch piriformis and calves

Felt really groggy today, don't know why... Drank a lot of coffee earlier in the day just sitting around reading so maybe I just burnt myself out.

I swear everyone on this forum is naturally talented. Just run a casual 55min 10k first time. I could train for it for 3 months and not sure i'd get there.   :wowthatwasnutswtf:

those goals look great - " Try to stay healthy, not get fat, feel fit and happy. ". Good luck.

Hahaha I dunno i guess I'd been running upto 5ks for a couple months before, 7.5 being the most. It really killed me though have to say.

Did another 10k today - steady 60ms on the treadmill, easier than last time (as it should be). Feet hurting at this distance... Need me some new shoes.

Also need to start eating more food if I'm going to keep this training volume up!

NYE trail 10k.. sick.

what was up with that mt everest photo? u climb everest??? lol. :wowthatwasnutswtf:

also for your trail races etc, i remember you using some vibram-ish shoes. if so, i'd try to find some good xc flats. can really fly in those on rough terrain - way more than in vibrams.

Haha I went to Nepal for around 2 months, a month for my final placement of med school, working in a Kathmandu government hospital which was pretty mad in itself, then I spent 3 weeks trekking in the everest region, did base camp and the three surrounding High passes - it was pretty nuts. Shamedly though, as I dragged myself over 5000m I was frequently overtaken by crazy people RUNNING as it was just before the everest ultra marathon so that was pretty cool to see, some ridiculous athletes running with like 50% oxygen haha.

I actually have some merrel trail gloves which are awesome for dryish trails, not so great in mud. Unfortunately that's at my parents where I spent Christmas where there is some great trail. Unfortunately I live in the concrete jungle of an inner city so most of my running is treadmill. Looking to pick up some zero to 4mm drops with a bit of cushion, not sure what to go for though!!

They look really good actually, can get them online at. Good price but I'll see if any of the local running shops have them in to try for size. Thanks!

Weekend was rough, 3 x 13hr days with basically 0 breaks. Just about enough time in the day to stuff my face with junk before sneaking in 7 hours sleep.  :uhhhfacepalm:

Anyway still got my cycle commutes in and I end up walking at leaks 7.5k through the day at work.

Today

Squat 75kg 3 x 5 (paused all the last, the best squats have felt in a long time)
Deadlift 120kg 3 x 5
Sl leg press 69kg x 12 61kg x 15 slower

Run 5k @ 10km/h - don't usually run after lifting but wanted to get an easy one in.

The run was awful. Hip flexor got really tight/tired which thew my form off and then my right foot arch started hurting  and I got multiple stitches. I'm never running after lower body lifting again lol. Also I wish my new trainers would bloody hurry up

yea don't run after lifting, lmao. all it does is make you go haywire and makes it easier to get injured.

i've run before lifting, feel fine when lifting. i'd do that instead if possible.
