RUN 7K @ 42:50 ( 6:07 pace )

Felt fat, clumsy, stiff , de-trained and , of course , slow.

Makes sense though, this was the first 'real' (non-treadmill) run since this:

Quote from: vag on November 24, 2023, 11:35:02 am
23 November

Run 7K @ 40:23 ( 5:46 pace )

Weather and work and weights won't let me run. I'm fine as long as i maintain this fitness level, which seems to be happening so far.

Let's get back at it, shall we?

Man o man, back is wrecked again from those silly BW 'widows'. They make me more sore than anything.
Must fit its loaded version in my gym sess, e.g. rear delt flys or something.

TREADMILL , RUN 7.5K @ 44:23 ( 5:55 pace )

0.5K more, 12 seconds/km faster, felt kinda smoother.
Nice.

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.

RUN 7.5K @ 43:46 ( 5:50 pace )

There you go, sub-6 real run, first of the year.
Faster than last week's treadmill too.
5K split @ 28:10, pretty fast. But then I got tired.
Better feel also. Nice.

Low bar squatting was never my thing, we talked about it many times in the past, i tried it but it never worked, high bar was always better/stronger for me.
Guessing from how that fatigued 3*72.5 went this week, id say i could do a 85 or even 90 kg single. BW is little over 86 lately.


1 February

Low aerobic HR zone run 7K @ 55:04 ( 7:52 pace )

Finally, a 'real' (non-treadmill) low aerobic zone run, first since mid October.
Very slow as expected ( about 1 minute / km compared to last time, which was my last week before HM race though, at my best fitness ever ).
Speed is not important at this period, bringing in and progressing weekly low-aerobic and HIIT sessions is the goal.

Not that bad. Is this because of your anatomy or because you're quad dominant or both?
