Soreness : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
Very good fitness again. Shoulders died on me after 1 hour though, feeling like lactic acid buildup, was painful to raise them.
Vert is still gone. Trying to get used to that feeling, that it is gone for good, that from now on it will always be just an average indifferent vert. Sucks big time.

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

-Annoyed with squats. The absence of rack makes them too unconvenient. I don't like to have to HPC and then OHP over 50kg while im doing squats. Feels risky for back. Also makes me lose focus, im doing my reps and im thinking how am i gonna behind-the-neck-OHP at the end.
I think that i from now on will do just 1 set of 50kg and then move to KB single leg box squats.

-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.

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.

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.

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.

LBSS · « **Reply #3850 on:** December 02, 2019, 07:12:17 am »

running in cold weather (above freezing) is the best! also, nice to see you making those rapid gains. i bet you could get some of the vert back with dedicated practice, but you're not focused on it right now. that's okay. when you play ball, between being able to jump a little higher and being able to play for an hour without wanting to fall over, which would you take at this point?

vag · « **Reply #3851 on:** December 03, 2019, 11:33:50 am »

^Thanks, that's an awesome wrap-up of my last couple of months log in 2 lines! And yes Ill take being able to play the whole game.

1KM JOG

1KM SPRINT @ 90% : 4:49
1KM JOG
500M SPRINT @ 90% : 2:12 ( 4:24 pace )
500M JOG

TOTAL : 6KM @ 36:29

8 Celsius degrees and 70% humidity is not exactly working well for me but it is what it is.
Really happy about the second km sprint, got 4:49 despite being tired and that km being 100% uphill. Finishing sprint below 4:30 pace was also sweet but it was all downhill.
I have a 4km race next Sunday ( kinda XC, road but with a lot of uphill and downhill, but not too much ). Goal is sub 5:00 average pace ( so sub 20:00 total ).

RUN 8KM @ 44:20 ,

( -37s )

Not a planned PR. Went out to do 8km at set pace ( currently at 5:45 ). Went well, was right on target pace feeling absolutely comfortable so around 5.5km i decided to push it, just to see if (how much) i can push when fatigued.
Shocked of how well that worked, last 3 km splits were 5:19, 5:13 and last one.... 4:51 , are you kidding me?
