Since gyms opened here in the UK I figured I'd add up my pull up/push up tallies since lockdown (I started recording on the 17/4 when decided to do Armstrong pull up but I did a few before that too that aren't in the numbers)

Pull ups 2519

Push ups 8295

Really adds up 😱 :wowthatwasnutswtf:

I have no plan to go back to the gym right now.

Yesterday

Yoga 30 meditation 30m
Hike ~24km in the countryside so nice to get out of the city

Today

Yoga 45m meditation 1hr
Run 8km 5.30 pace v slow, still unsold on hokas but shins/calves haven't quite healed yet so too early to judge



Ditching the Armstrong pull up program for the time being, starting a new job next week and moving and honestly I just don't have the motivation for it anymore and my progress seems stagnant. I will probably come up with some kind of new program once things have settled down

Not yet, I may do - monday/Tuesday allowing for almost a weeks rest. 20/100 would he nice but not sure I'm there yet (17\80) being my best yet. I am holding a little more bodyweight than I have over recent months too so that doesn't help

Logging interrupted with moving house and starting a new job. Also moved in with girlfriend, still been training.. Less strength... More running. Did a 30k trail run at the weekend, was super fun. 1km of road from my new place and youre in awesome hills and trails (leading to a giant moorland wind farm which is super fun to run around). There's also a really nice country park which I can cover in an 8k loop from my place. Basically the trail running options here are amazing compared to central Manchester and running is much more enjoyable. I was also enjoying the hoka clifton on road and wanted some for the trail and the hoka speedgoat 4 is fantastic, my shin issues are pretty much gone. I think the risk of twisting and ankle is slightly higher though but the drop is still 4mm.

So anyway today went back to the gym for the first time since March!! New gym too obviously, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

NG pull up 12 9 7
DB press 20kg x 10, 34kg x 8, 28kg x 12
DB Ohp 16kg 2 x 12
DB row 34kg 2 x 12
Tri press down 18kg x 12 14kg x 12
DB curl 16kg x 10 14kg x 12
Lateral raise 7kg x 15
Push up x 25

Also 30m yoga 30m meditation - got distracted from daily practice recently too so here's to building back consistency and accountability with that.

Run 11.04km 4.54min/km pace. Quite a bit of hill (97m) and about 50% nice trail. Had some quick sections but got a side stitch damn. Wore the hoka speedgoats...not sure if I need half a size up.. Can feel toes hitting the front. They felt fine on a 30k first time out the box though, who knows.

Meditation 30m and 30m of yin yoga/stretching
