New year new me
gukl:
Let's try this again.
I'm not really sure what my goals are at the moment. My training is more about just... Try to stay healthy, not get fat, feel fit and happy. The last year or so has been pretty mad with sitting finals, being in Nepal for a few months and then starting work in hospitals here and some of my coping mechanisms have been....questionable and resulted in some serious low points.
I would like to get back into Olympic lifting at somepoint but I'm still fighting with some SI joint issues. I have never stopped training for more than a week or so but its just been aimlessly going through the motions, hence my lack of motivation to log etc. My baseline strength is a long way away from where it once was, especially lower body.
Been enjoying my running a lot these days and probably going to sign up to the city 10k in April. I ran my first ever 10k on NYE (55m on pretty rough terrain). Aerobic fitness is probably my priority at the moment - I'm climbing mont blanc in June so that's a pretty important goal for me and offering some motivation.
Anyway enough internal monologue

Felt really groggy today, don't know why... Drank a lot of coffee earlier in the day just sitting around reading so maybe I just burnt myself out.

I swear everyone on this forum is naturally talented. Just run a casual 55min 10k first time. I could train for it for 3 months and not sure i'd get there. :wowthatwasnutswtf:
those goals look great - " Try to stay healthy, not get fat, feel fit and happy. ". Good luck.

Hahaha I dunno i guess I'd been running upto 5ks for a couple months before, 7.5 being the most. It really killed me though have to say.
Did another 10k today - steady 60ms on the treadmill, easier than last time (as it should be). Feet hurting at this distance... Need me some new shoes.
Also need to start eating more food if I'm going to keep this training volume up!
gukl:
Squat 70kg 3 x 5
Lunge bb 40kg 2 x 12
Leg curl 40kg 2 x 12
Petersons higher box 2 x 20
Quick simple easy... First squats in like a month so didn't push it. Keeping lower leg volume low with all the running too
