Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Taking double dose of pre workout
« on: March 11, 2018, 03:29:58 am »If you have kidney issues, I'd be staying the hell away from pre-workouts. I doubt they're more effective than having a strong coffee 30min before.
and much more expensive.

last night
- run 9.21 km in 45:41
warm weather = slow. kept this easy (three in three out) but felt like a slog most of the way and was in fact slow: 4:57 pace. GPS started working right away and the map seems accurate so i'm going with the garmin measurement.
- stretch
also spent some time moving heavy potted plants around. chest and biceps a little sore today.

move to pakistan, it's fucking gorgeous here right now. mornings are mid-50s/12-13 degrees celsius, afternoons upper 70s/25 celsius. sunny 8-9/10 days and the one day it rains it cleans the air so beautifully.
my gf is angling to move back to the UK for grad school and i will follow her there and the weather is one thing i'm definitely not looking forward to.

« on: March 08, 2018, 05:12:00 am »^ why do they have to run on shorter track and have to worry about hitting a padded wall? im sure that does distract em slllllightly.
because they're inside.

cool, thanks. i've never been a swimmer so no idea what the training is like, but i periodically think about triathlons as a thing i could get into in the future so curious.

two of those guys came up injured, though. the combine is dumb. i mean, i love it. but it's dumb. most job interview processes are dumb.

- run/hike 8.6 km in 1:11:40
according to watch and my friend's phone this was about 400m of elevation gain, not 750m as the website said. nearly 300 of it was packed into 1.5 km, though. it also got super rocky, so we walked most of that distance. then very steep descent before it leveled off again. glutes felt the ascent, quads feeling the descent now, 90 minutes later.

edit: here's the mapmyrun depiction of the run. how's this for hill work?

- run 8.9 km in 41:39
garmin short by ~450m. took 10 minutes again for the GPS to start. ~4:40 pace.
- stretch
this route is not good at night, the sidewalk is too busted up for running in the dark and people park in the shoulder so there's sometimes not enough clearance from traffic to be safe. it is hillier than my old route.
got invited for an early morning hill run/hike (when it gets really steep) tomorrow up and down the trail behind the faisal mosque. it's about 8.4 km round trip with about 750m/2500' elevation gain. must hydrate well today although it'll be nice and cool in the morning.
ETA: another complaint about garmin is that the garmin app and garmin connect online interface are both atrocious.

i wish. keep looking for something to run. the khunjerab pass marathon seems to be cancelled: the website is no longer there. glad i didn't put any money down on that. there was a 5k/10k/half/marathon in hunza a couple of years ago organized by samina baig (climbed everest at age 21, climbed the other six summits in eight months at age 23, first pakistani woman to do either of those things). need to find out if it's on again this year. if so then i should contrive to be there and compete.
