FATIGUE = moderate to high

session 1: volume

- warm up

- sprints : 10-20's
2 x 60%, 4 X 90%

- DLRVJ
x 15-20 == started with some drop steps, then second full run-up was very good considering how tired I was today, probably legit 32, grabbed rim easily. downhill from there, though, most other jumps in the 30.5 range. oh well, still felt pretty good.

- squat 3 x 5
285,285,285

- BSS 3 x 5
skipped because i think these are causing some knee pain, gotta get that figured out

- light calf raise: 4 x 5
185,185,185,185

- core
--chin up x 10+3+3 lol
--dip + 43 x 3, +33 x5,5 lol
--ab wheel roll out 3 x 20

- stretch

upper body is weeeeeak. fml.

heading to afghanistan and pakistan today. back in three weeks. knock on some wood for me. will keep updating log as possible and will be working out as much as possible. probably little to no strength work so i'll focus on low-level plyos and conditioning.

peace.

Fuck those afghanistan and pakistan derails!!!
Work is work though , keep at it as much as you can and stay safe!
*knocks wood*
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

thanks vag. it is frustrating, especially this trip because it's so long. but hey, it's not like progress was soaring before. maybe a few weeks of pogos, drop steps, conditioning and soft tissue work will do me good.

ac-cen-tu-ate the positive...

this morning

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = no idea, jet lag is weird

- warm up
jumping jacks 30/30 x 5
joint circles, leg swings

- C1: bw squat x 20
- C1: push up x 5
- C1 info: 20 rounds, starting on the minute, work/rest ended up being about 25s/35s

- stretch
legs twice through

pretty easy, just good to get the blood flowing. missed game six even though i was awake at the right time because ESPN was showing fucking BMX trick riding. what the hell.

thanks man. hard to stay dedicated out here and i'm ashamed to say that i haven't been as consistent as i should over the past few days. i'll be back in the states on june 30 and back in the gym on july 1, so from there on out i'll hopefully be moving on up.

Meanwhile why dun u work on ur sprinting? I mean from tt one old vid u post I felt u could do with some speed/explosiveness!

you're right about my speed/explosiveness, although i was making a little bit of progress on that before i left. sprinting and jumping are out, though because i'm staying in a guest house surrounded by a high wall topped with concertina wire and i can't exactly go to the park or anything. there's no space. there actually is a park here, but i'm not allowed to go to it. security is a lot worse here than kabul.

i'm out in the sticks now, in a provincial capital called pul-i-khumri. when i'm back in kabul i'll at least have higher ceilings to work with and can do some drop steps and stuff. and once i get to islamabad i'll have an actual gym to work with.

last few days have been exhausting, working at least 12 hours every day. have still managed to get in some mobility and stretching in the mornings but no workout until today. oof. it's also really hard to stay fully hydrated here. the baseline sweat level is super high so i've been downing like 3L of water a day, plus coffee and tea (and the occasional glass of coke).

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = moderate, which is weird because i slept for 8 hours last night and the night before: benefit of being completely wiped out

- warm up
joint circles x 10/each direction
glute bridge 3 x 15s/e
posterior rocking x a bunch
bird dogs x 10/e

- BSS ISO hold x 60s/e
LR, surprisingly easy with the left

- stiff leg ankle hop 4 x 20

- push up w/2s hold at bottom 3 x 10

- scap wall slides 3 x 10

- plank 2 x 30s

- stretch

30-60s rests between pretty much everything. very easy but got heart rate up for 35 minutes or so and it's better than nothing. gotta pack up then i'm making the drive back to kabul. keeping my fingers crossed that i'll get to ride in the land cruiser and not the hilux, but we'll see. there was a suicide attack in one of the towns we have to drive through (motherfucker killed a little girl and himself. fuck you, asshole, i hope there's a hell so that you can spend the rest of eternity dipped upside-down in battery acid while a rabid dog rips your balls off over and over again), so the big fear is that i either won't get to leave, or i'll have to drive north to mazar-i-sharif and catch a plane down to kabul. either option would suck.
