Very happy I could do everything on the bench at 25 at last. Increased sprints from 60s to 90s at 12 kph. I'll get a 30 min 5k yet...

1 hour 30 min slow jog, 10k covered.

Still, good days and bad, and I did finally do 10k

Working up to 40 for ages then bam, 42.5 is easy
Legs always feels short although the deadlifts take a while. I did the shoulders as a break.
Can't think of anything else I should be doing? Maybe those split squat yokes

Annoyed about the bench. Usually use fixed weight barbells for it but tried the proper one today. Bench was a little too high off the floor for a good grip on the floor with my feet, and the weight resting thing was a little too high overhead. Couldn't see how to adjust the latter and felt off balance in general so went back to fixed weight ones. No 27.5 kg, it's 25 then 30, so went back to 25 today. Will try 30 next time I think it should be quite manageable

Kept the back squats light to try them out. Was nearly sitting on the floor :pac: Boost em up next time or try goblet again to make sure I keep up the depth

Tried 3km at a speed of 9kph
had to stop a few times
switched back down to 7kph and jogged 5km no stops
total 8km taking about 1 hour 4 mins including walking stops.

Not happy...

Long slow jog today, 1 hour 52, 13.3k.
Happy with that, I'll beat 2 hours next time.

Going straight back to 45 kg may have been a bit ambitious given the circumstances but sure I managed most of it! Kept head up and all
Good stuff

3.8 km in 27 mins

Definitely better than Monday, chest isn't fully recovered yet but at least I can run now

Session with hanley this morning
Not going to try log it, was brilliant and very useful anyhow
Lots of work to do

Run tomorrow o.o

9 km up a lot of hills and steps ^^
Still sick. May have to consider antibios soon :mad:

Crunch on aston quay
http://crunchfitness.ie/locations/aston-quay
It's over the top but I like it

Use the one in westmanstown sometimes if I'm down that way on the weekend

5k race for darkness into light. At 4am!
friends did it in 32:20 and i was right behind so I'll call it 33:30. 4 mins off pb and 6 mins off the last one.
:cool:
sub 35 was an intermediate goal, sub 30 is the long one. I'll get there. Training definitely helped so much!

Hour slow jog, 7.3km

I actually wanted to do 2 hours today but considering the race, messed up sleep, and out last night, that was a bit unrealistic couldn't get into the zone at all for 45mins
terenure 5 mile next week though so I want a long one. Maybe tues/wed. See if I can hit 15k

Knees are the main issue today from last night's run, I remember the hams from last week all right

Couldn't make it to gym today and have race tomorrow ... didn't have to stop me doing some stuff at home
Fell on some steps yesterday and knocked just under my knee like a total tool, can't kneel on it, so the push ups were on one leg and then very shallow proper ones

Squats were 3s ones again

It's all a learning curve. Great to get the miles under the belt though!

Next time I'll get more than 4-5 hours' sleep and eat properly the days before
I know I can do e.g. 11k without stopping in better time, it was just a bad day!

Thanks

Alf Veedersane

Last time I did a 10k i didn't prepare properly at all and at the 7km mark, i started to run out of fuel. It was annoying to be 2mins slower than previous time but I learned more than I would have if I'd matched the previous time

I was too lazy to walk around switching barbells so today was "do everything on 20 kg" day. ow :cool:

Duno whether to run in the morning as am walking the 5k tomorrow evening (unless osky is up to running it with me), suppose it's no harm

Yesterday: enfield 5k race. Thought it would be a fun run. No... got there to find out it was a srs bzns race with most of the people there going for 15 mins finish. Oops! Good thing I didn't bring the doggy!

Walking briskly to the gym aggravated my chest again and couldn't breathe properly etc so had to cut today short. Despite being able to lift it probably isn't helping the situation so I'm wondering if I should take a week off.
I don't want to though...
Back to doc next week if drugs don't work anyway.

Oryx

Presume you took the week off...?

Yes! I decided to be sensible.
Actually I did walk the flora women's 10k on monday. We sprinted at the very end and that was a bad idea for me.
I'm planning to get back to lifting tomorrow and running will have to wait another week or so.
Can't wait to deadlift again, I'm totally hooked...
