- run 5 km in 22:58
legs dead, especially calves just felt heavy. meant to run farther but this was a struggle. funny that i still beat december goal despite feeling like crap. did not check pace once during run.

- walk 1 km

- stretch

getting on a plane in a few hours. tired and sad.

Oh shoot its Kelly
Thanks for introducing me to Verk and all that. All these years ive been walking around with training knowledge that 95% of the people in your average chain gym lack. Training for VJ really teaches you some interesting things about the CNS and max strength. And this really is just from a couple of weeks of reading, too. The dirty work has already been done for us - just gotta read it and apply it.

hey you're alive!

- hike 24.16 km in 5:46
drove out to the hills with a group of friends and hiked back into town. elevation gain 2,643 feet, although overall we descended. calves very tired, especially right which was cramping a bit. feet and right shin also sore.

super worth it though. very fun.

ETA: time includes semi-frequent breaks, especially from km 5-10 when there was a lot of steep climbing and even a little rock scrambling. it was a pretty fit group so not too bad but my preference is definitely to haul ass with minimal breaks.

Damn dude. Good luck with the surgery, heal quick.

mediocre-to-poor skier here, so take this with a grain of salt, but i think you're fine to either stick with what you're doing now or do T0ddday's GPP. if you're concerned about building work capacity then i'd switch out a lifting workout for an extra cardio workout. so two days a week of the T0ddday plan, two days of LISS cardio, and one day of basketball.

another thing you could throw into the mix is more sport-specific balance training and conditioning on your lifting days. e.g.

forerunner 235.

12/25

Ss1a: Squat:
305*5 paused
355 *2,2,2,2 pretty easy

Ss1b DJs:
4*5

Hit my hand on a railing going up for dj and injured my wrist. It's pretty gnarly looking, bony lump right index finger around the base of the wrist. Waiting on an X-ray at the hospital

UUPDATE: it's fractured for sure and possibly dislocated. cant really use my right hand for anything. No DB's, probably no BB. I can't draw or write which is the big killer, I can't work and I don't know if I'll be able to continue with my digital art class that starts next week. I foresee a lot of leg press volume in the future, maybe zercher squats or some funky front rack shit. We will see.

 

what did the annoying doc say?

I think im ok with one or two persons training around me in isolation. But when there is a group especially youths, i feel they'll judge me more? Is that weird? Anyway.

if there's any group of people you should care less about judging, it's youths. lmao. it can be annoying when they are acting like little giggly twats, but really, it's probably better if they are too afraid to judge you..

You're right. But why do i care so much lol. I just remembered we went to watch a movie and these teen giggly twats were not enjoying the movie (Downsizing) and they ruined the experience for us by talking shit and laughing and giggling constantly throughout the film. 

i went to see the last jedi in islamabad right before leaving for the holidays and a kid in the row ahead of us literally took a call at one point. i smacked him on the shoulder and hissed at him to stop, which he did.
