Back to logging properly, hopefully also back to training properly. Trying to build volume with those heavily assissted reps, need to get used to breaking out of the bottom in a deadhang, etc.

- 5k race in 19:55
splits: 3:55, 4:00, 3:58, 3:58, 4:03

 :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

ETA: didn't print out a barcode so i won't get an official time, but that's okay. watch time actually took me past the course finish, so official time would have been a few seconds faster. incidentally, mapmyrun has a weirdly big gap between km pace and km elapsed time splits. the latter gives a time of 19:37. dunno why that would be, usually elapsed time is longer, if anything, because it accounts for stopping for road crossings. garmin site says 19:55 as well so let's go with that.

felt the pain especially between 3.5-4.5 km. pace was slowest around 3.6-3.7 but managed to surge enough that when i died in the last few hundred meters i had enough buffer to make it under the 20:00 mark. a little disappointed that i faded so badly and was slowing down at the finish but, under the circumstances -- first race in more than a year, run at all-time PR pace, at 9 AM after <7 hours of sleep -- not THAT disappointed.

woop woop woop! i sense bigger things coming now that the pressure is off a bit!

signed up -- and actually made sure it went through this time -- for a race in victoria park on 15 december. joe/gukl, y'all gonna be around/interested? VP isn't as flat as battersea but i know it super well by now so that will hopefully help. 1.5 laps of the upper portion, no street crossing.

I should be able ti do this!

Training still nit been very structured, though OAC progress been good. Managed a successful BW OAC from 90 degrees on left, couldn't quite manage that on my right. Want to get back to running and structured training soon though.

Good to be working out again!

Felt strong. Satisfying AF to do OAC work like that without feeling like I'm wrecking myself.

Think if I can hit a 10s iso @ 90* with BW I'll be very close to an OAC.

blah, had a cold last few days, looks like i'll be back to normal tomorrow, i hope.

have been doing "grease the groove" oac work, i guess you could call it. has been fun, feeling strong. looking forward to getting back on a normal programme for that though -- think i can profitably do oac stuff without it being hellishly taxing now, so will make that the main focus in strength stuff, with weighted chins weekly as supplement.

Am still here, dw.

Last week got a bit stressed out preparing for this competition i was going to (european quiz championships) in bulgaria over the weekend, so training time got consumed by cram revision time for that at, and that was pretty draining so I didn't have much energy for training. Did do a sort of makeshift OAC session last Thursday, just testing out strength in hangs are various points in the motion -- feels stronger than I've ever been before, and the soreness was not debilitating which suggests a comparatively high level of preparedness at this stage. Got back Sunday evening and was exhausted (about 10 hoours sleep from Thurs->Sun which isn't great), so didn't do any proper training, but just king of messed aroudn with OAC negatives/isos and assisted stuff through the day (probably slightly stupid to do OAC stuff withoout a full warmup, so will be a bit more structured going forward).

Will probably run later today.

Quiz went well, got a bronze medal in the team thing and had a few other top 15 finishes.

Notes

Lol, so +1.5kg weight gain. I guess like half of that is water weight that will disappear pretty fast once I go back to below maintenance calories. Aim, then, is to end this month in the 64.x range. Should be doable, about 1kg a week

Felt weak! Not really a surprise, just hate that feeling, though. Still rejigging from jet lag, etc, too, which won't help.

Onwards and upwards from here, though.

Run

4.35mi in 38:09 [8:45 pace]

Notes

Back and a little jet-lagged. Will weigh tmrw to see how much I gained, lmao. Feels like a lot, fiancee's parents kept feeding me and I did not want to be rude, haha.

This felt easy, though! Even though I didn't run (exercise was plenty of walking and a bit of swimming), etc. Perfect weather for this run.

Strength sesh tmrw, I guess.

Notes

Big session before going away. Huge, huge PRs on chinups. That's definitely a lifetime PR for relative weight (1.715xBW total), probably a lifetime PR on load added, and maybe a PR for total load (114.6kg -- the most I've managed in the period covered by this log is 112kg)

Big PRs on hangs too. Think with less tiring buildup I could have done +24 for 5s. Anyway that's about +1/3xBW, which is nice. Need to get back on the wall soon and see how it feels.

Rest just volume to get more and worked in case I don't do much training while abroad.

Fucking hyped on those pullups, though. If I get down to ~64.0 kg and keep same aboslute strength, thend I should be able to do a chinup with about 1.8xBW, which would be sick and put me in good stead for an OAC surge.

Away for about a week from tomorrow. A little headachey, etc., today so no training. Should be able to fit some lifting in tmrw, though.

Not going to focus on staying calorie controlled while away, and I'm not sure how much training I'll do either. Then another hard push on diet in Nov, hopefully get down to 64.x then Dec is for pushing strength on OAC as hard as I can and see if we can get this done before the New Year.

Did a progressiony thing, here's km splits: 5:50, 5:47, 5:19, 5:02, 4:29, 4:14


This is 24:51 5K coming from a 5:50 "warmup".  :highfive: :ibrunning:

Hah, thanks! Yeah I think I'm probably in about ~21:30-22:00ish shape for a race at the moment, but I'm not certain. After diet's done and OAC is achieved I might aim to get back under 20, even sub 19, for 5k.
