on that note, highly recommend this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20696006-being-mortal
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Sooo, my dad had some heart issues and i had to be at my hometown all week. Thankfully everything went fine. Back on track today.

damn man :/ scary stuff. so glad to hear everything is fine though.

^ Thanks! Very much agree, their aging and the closing gap of the inevitable is something we need to work well in our minds, makes us use our time together better.

yup. I think about "time" alot more now.

i've thought about those things since I was a kid, too often IMHO .. for some reason I feel it could be somewhat related to growing up in an elderly community.

Thanks! And yes, that's how it is, human nature, We take some things like granted and eternal, but they're not, its very important to realize that.

29 March 2018

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : a little bit of everything, lol
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
The composition of the players pool changed. Game got massively upgraded, technically, tacticaly and physically.
Played fine, of course i gassed out but game was a lot up-tempo so overall i am happy with endurance at this given point. Strength and vert were good too, but as i've said many times i can't display them when im out of breath. Need to get my aerobic base up.

So this new bball status brings me to 2 interesting modifications in my training.
1) Start doing cardio. Don't know if it will be bbal solo training or LISS distance running or HIIT or a little bit of all. I think the most convenient for now is simply getting out of the house and running, i live in a neighborhood that is ideal for that, from a practical and from a beauty standpoint.
2) Gotta drastically reduce ( if not totally quit ) smoking. I smoke cigarillos and cigars only. And i don't smoke at work, very little at home too, mostly socially. So its not like i am a heavy smoker. But still, even though i adore it and i don't intend to quit it, I have to reduce that a lot. Ideal would be to get to a point of treating me a cigar a couple of times per month and a couple of cigarillos when going out.
3) To force myself take the above points seriously, i only had one choice, set a milestone that will... 'oppress' me to chase progress: I signed up for this ( 10 June ):

1 April 2018

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

5KM RUN  :wowthatwasnutswtf:  :headbang:  :ibrunning:

Time was 35 minutes flat, which is :personal-record: IIRC
I found a 38m logged and i cant find but i remember a 36m too. Both those previous 5Ks were on a flat course so extra kudos.

There is this huge old abandoned military camp in front of my house, its perimeter is exactly 2.5km which is perfect. I started with the intention to do only one round, but i felt extremely fresh at the end of that so went on to do a 2nd. Surface is 90% pavement.  Course is not flat, i gotta go down ~20-30m and then back up. I gassed out at around 4km, had to stop running and walk for 100-200m two times. However this last km was not that slower than the others. Plus it was all uphill.

Wait, there's more, i even have data!!!



Fuck , it's in Greek.
Ok, blue line is speed(kmh), green shadow is altitude(m). Times below are km pace ( so km splits too ).

ADARQ.ORG RUNNERS , ASSEMBLE!!!!!  :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

5 April 2018

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : shoulders traps biceps triceps quads glutes calves, all minor
Injuries/aches : none.

5KM RUN
Time : 31:06  :personal-record:

Went faster than last time, could carry it well. Then at the last km ( which i note again is like 80% uphill ) i found i had a good reserve of breaths so i pushed hard. Result? Last time i got it at 7:16, now at 5:51 which is  :personal-record: for a 5km split and breaks the 6m milestone. Also slowest split was 23s faster than previous fastest split, niiiiiice!

EDIT: by 80% uphill i mean 80% of the distance is going up, not 80% gradient lol. Total altitude difference is 20-30m.

More Greek data for LBSS:

Was Greek easter here, so 4 days off, then a little too much work so little derail.

Horrific endurance causing horrific game. Sure the uptempo game with new teammates doesn't help, but i expected better. Need to get back to running ASAP. Will add intervals too. Aerobic and anaerobic fitness need a serious boost.
