Easter madness is over, let's restart, 2.5 months straight now until summer holidays.

8 May

Run 7K @ 39:15 ( 5:36 pace )

Pretty good actually, i expected much worse. Pacing was off ( kept going too fast and then having to recover ) but other than that, all was fine.

Run 7K @ 37:34 ( 5:22 pace )

Wow, beast run, 15'/km faster than last week. Felt great too. Maybe the weather, a cold dry night is rare here mid-May.

LATERAL DB RAISE : 4x10 @ 12.5kg each hand
EZ BAR CURL : 4x10 @ 35 kg

Awful workout. Got the reps and weights i was aiming but was feeling soooo weak and bored.
Not even sure if i had both before workout or just one of them which caused the other.

weak and bored happens to me sometimes, too. good on you for still finishing the workout, even if it sucked.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Run 7.5K @ 44:05 ( 5:52 pace )

Horrible run. A whole 30''/km slower than last week.
Legs were still tight/sore from deadlifts 3 days ago.
Also TDI is here, last night it was 22'C / 80% humidity. It's not that bad but body wasn't ready.

Run 7.5K @ 43:52 ( 5:51 pace )

Slow again but a little better feel. Legs still tight/sore/tired, i guess they will need some time to adapt to lifting 2*week and running.

Question to everyone, but without turning it to a 5 pages flame war :
Best diet choice for re-composition : Intermittent fasting / 4-5 spread meals / doesn't really matter ( supposing all choices have the same kcals balance and nutrients) ?

That's not a diet choice, more like diet composition and timing.
You tend to be less hungry when you don't eat
I prefer spreading the meals about, into larger meals. Much more satisfying and good for sleep when you have a large dinner.
And clustering meals post training.
And for older folks, protein needs to be in larger doses per meal to have an effect.

Other than that same calories and nutrients, make no difference with different timings.
A recent study showed that a 100g protein meal was still digesting 12 hours later
So no need to spread meals evenly
