suddenly i want to subscribe to kneesovertoesguy and get to dunking again. bad timing because covid means difficult to get to the gym consistently even if i had a membership. really what it means is i should resolve to double down on running in 2021 and get to sub-19 while running is the main thing i can do.

ATG does have some no-equipment programs it looks like. folks on here who are devoted to ATG: thoughts on those? or signing up in general if i'm not gonna immediately go back into training for strength/jumping?

EDIT: also, especially because i'm shifting away from programmed workouts and keeping most runs easy to very easy, i'm gonna stop programming rest days. burnout is not a worry right now.

- run 1:49:47, 20.36 km
average pace 5:24 is a bit high but there were several stops and one section of walking that didn't register because i paused the watch. with those accounted for it was closer to 5:50 i'd guess.

- stretch

knees a little sore post-run. new shoes felt good though. not great. RIP good-era kinvaras.

hey welcome to the forum. what kind of wrist pain was it? speaking from experience, it's easy to get excited about a new program or new exercise and dive into it too fast and then strain something. be careful, especially since it seems like you've jumped right into a fairly big volume of (low-intensity, but still) plyos.

what's your jumping baseline? i.e., how much higher do you need to get from right now before you can dunk?

- run 52:30, 10.84 km
again a little quick (4:51 average) but i wasn't breathing hard and every split on the way home (i.e., uphill) was under 5:00 so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

welcome back. is there a reason your RVJ reps are so low? greasing that groove was really important for me, a fellow not-very-high jumper. i'd do 4-5 from a short approach before i even did my first one from a full (four-step) run up. you might think about doing more RVJ, or putting them earlier in the workout, or both. just a thought.

how in the hell had i never heard of this guy until two days ago. tryna learn this song now, fingerstyle 4 lyfe.

- run 1:06:20, 13.52 km
felt amazing. cold (35/2 celsius) but no wind to speak of, so long sleeve shirt plus my running shell was plenty of warmth. new route, liked it, will repeat. 

- stretch

i missed two runs this week and still totaled 42.2 km, and i feel super ready for a long and slow run tomorrow.

still feel out of sorts, multi-day headache which is mild now but still there. woke up in the wee hours and couldn't go back to sleep because of severe pain in my right ear (second time in the last week or so). made a doctor's appointment to get that checked out.

did manage to do some pull ups, at least. 8,8,7 wide grip, dead hang.
