- run 8.21 km in 42:05
struggle bus. legs weak. and i do seem to have strained muscles on the front and back of my ribs. not sure how. maybe i was overzealous with the cat-camels? but then the pain started before i did them the other day. anyway it wasn't severe today, but definitely there.

- stretch

woof.

went to the gym yesterday but as soon as i started to run, i felt some weird twinges in my lats (???) and upper abs/lower chest (???). decided that my body was just not recovered yet, did some mobilizations and stretched and foam rollered, and packed it in.

Kipchoge (2:01:39) vs Bekele (2:01:41) in London.

April 26 2020.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/athletics/51107844

I roll with Kipchoge but would love to see Bekele make him battle. Don't see how Bekele will beat him tho, Kipchoge is the master at 26.2

that article is cool, didn't know they had quite so much history. bekele owned him on the track 10-15 years ago, then as they got older and switched to road kipchoge took over. but shit, 2:01:41 means bekele can absolutely go head-to-head with kipchoge now. let us pray for a photo finish.

fever back in a big way last night, got up to 102.6/39.2. felt fine earlier in the day, went to class, no problem. but as i was on my way home from campus i started to feel shitty again. pretty sure it’s the flu. which is annoying because my gp clinic offers free shots, which i blew off. last time i make that mistake. temp down to 101/38.3 but i feel awful. rest and hydration, and trying to eat. could not even contemplate dinner last night.

1446
fever was gone by the morning but i still felt like shit. aches and weird temperature fluctuations and heartburn meant i didn't get to sleep until at least 4 AM. so no weights today, i napped and did school work around the house. feeling better now.

- run 14.33 km in 1:19:31
felt absolutely awful. had a stitch the whole time, had to pee the last 45 minutes at least, body feels stiff now and knees achey. pace slow, 5:33. yikes.

should not forget that i'm also adding 6km per week with warm ups.

EDIT: lol, i had a low-grade fever.

kinda hard to tell from that angle but looks like your lower back is rounding a bit on the trap bar DL. does it feel stable?

cops are the biggest fucking snowflakes on earth. suck it up, buttercup. you're in a fucking locker room full of young men who are celebrating.

also, death to the NCAA, etc.

haha, well, i'm glad someone enjoyed it. my gf had done a brutal core workout the day befor so she was not sympathetic.  :derp:

- warm up treadmill run x 2 km

- mobilizations

- squat 80 x 5,5,5
better. still a wee bit sore in the upper hamstrings. this was not hard, thank fucking god. also noticed a little niggle in my left hamstring that appears on the eccentric portion sometimes. something to be careful with. on the plus side, shoulders are loosening up and readjusting to supporting the bar.

- bench 60 x 5,5,5
still relearning the movements. first two sets easy-breezy, did my setup wrong on the third set. light weight so it was not hard, but noticed the difference in stability.

- pull up x 5,5,6

- pallof press x 10,10

- leg lower x 10,10

- stretch

okay then. onward and upward.

DOMS, bro. DOMS.

- warm up treadmill run x 2 km

- warm up mobilizations: hips, shoulders, wrists

- squat x ABORT
soreness such that this started to feel like a bad idea at 60kg and downright dangerous at 80kg. hamstrings in particular just did not feel stable or strong. quads also pretty sore. not mad about warming up and trying, though. the soreness will dissipate with time and persistence.

- DL x SKIPPED
see above.

- pull up x 5,5,5
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. last set to TF. a little sore but nothing like my legs.

- core circuit x 2
-- plank x 30s
-- russian twist +10kg x 10

- stretch

christ. baby steps, i guess.

alright, draft new goals for end of february (six weeks):

1. squat 112.5 x 5
2. DL 130 x 5
3. bench 80 x 5
4. pull up x 15

gonna do basically starting strength with pull ups rather than rows as the main pulling exercise. i'll do kroc rows as a supplement on DL days.

M: squat 5,5,5; bench 5,5,5; pull ups x5,5,F; core circuit (plank variations, prone windshield wipers, pallof presses, suitcase carries)
W: squat 5,5,5; DL 5; pull ups x 5,5,F; kroc rows; core circuit
F: squat 5,5,5; bench 5,5,5; pull ups x5,5,F; core circuit

two runs per week totaling 25km+ to make it easier to transition back to cardio gainz once i shift focus back away from lifting.

i'm on the fence about whether to try to gain a little weight back. this would require deliberate effort on my part. two slices of toast with peanut butter and honey and a glass of milk worked okay when i was 25. i'd like to be running under 19 at, like, 78kg rather than 74. and, more to the point, running under 19 while squatting 2x bw. for now, i won't do anything special about diet. but i'll play it by ear as i go.

let's see how far i get in six weeks. hopefully i can hit those numbers and then transition to running 50-55 km per week with one weight lifting and maybe light plyo/power day.
