Low aerobic HR zone run 7.5K @ 55:40 ( 7:25 pace )

Another 2 seconds per km faster. I would like to improve, I'm like stagnating. Watch also paused my progress.
However the feel at this one was better, run was effortless.

28 February

ATG SQUAT:
5@60kg
5@70kg
2@80kg  ( +5 kg )( -1 rep )

BB BENCH : 10 @ 40, 42.5, 45, 47,5 kg ( + 2.5, 5, 7.5 kg in 3 last sets )
SEATED CABLE ROW : 10 @ 59, 59, 65, 65 kg ( + 6 kg in 2 last sets )
DB OHP :  4x10 @ 17.5kg each hand
DB HAMMER CURL : 3x12 @ 12.5kg each hand ( + 2 reps for all sets )
ROPE PUSHDOWN :  3x12 @ 17kg ( + 2 reps for all sets )

Did a few changes:
-Skipped squats, leg muscles feel too tired/sore, gave them a break.
-Replaced DB bench with BB, as heaviest DBs available are 20kg which got easy.
-Switched from 'normal' db curls and ticeps exts to hammer curls and rope pushdown. Friday's bb curl and skull crushers were too similar.

-400m paces were around 4:30 , best was 4:20 worse was 4:45. Nice!
-Great week cap. First week of 2024 that i do all 3 run sessions ( easy/slow/HIIT) , also first week of 2024 that i trained 6/7 days.



27 February

RUN 8.5K @ 49:39 ( 5:50 pace )

-Bad run to start for the week. Legs were expected fresh but they were dead, muscularly.
I was 10'' per km slower than last week, but at least i did 500m more for the silly 2024 distance  :personal-record:
Also at the 8K split i was at 5:44 so not that far from last weeks. But the feel was worse.

I like the swings. Remind me of the good old vert training day
Yes i do tilt. Not planned, it comes naturally, it is a p-chain dominant explosive exercise so i subconsciously posterior-tilt and squeeze that old butt at the end.  ;D



Damn i fell back at logging, let's see if i can recall what i did:

Even faster than last week but legs are dead. Quads specifically, they are muscularly fatigued.
3*weights + 3 *cardio / week doesn't come for free at this age.

5@70kg

Low aerobic HR zone run 8K @ 55:50 ( 7:27 pace )

1km more, yet 25''/km faster on average, compared to last week.
Impressive progress. Watch agrees, it is improving my metrics rapidly.
I guess Ive built a solid fitness base over those last years.
