Friday 24th February 2023Mild tired feeling
Moderately sore calves, quads and posterior chain and upper back
I turned 52 today
Did all training today fasted, and had good energy, so it looks like I'm close to fully fat adapted on this Keto diet
Experiment doing plyos and sprints today despite being a bit sore from yesterday's training.
Just lower intensity stuff today.
Will save having to do them on Sunday after BBall/Jumps

My feet and ankles, feels so much stronger than the last time I was here where I flared up both my achilles sprinting!
Felt like I was floating over the grass with no heavy foot impact.
Being 7kg lighter helps, but all the ISO strengthening and plyos are a factor.
They added in sand mixed in with the grass which made it feel much more even than the last time I was here. Felt smooth and soft, but still firmer than sand on a beach
Achilles felt fine, no pain during these, but they did feel achey a few hours after...
Backward walking: - up a 30 degree slope road - 3 mins rest - 2 x 90secs
crazy quad burn
