1½ hours full court basketball.
Much better breaths, with the equivalent positive effect on game, speed, vert, strength. Still far away from where i want to be but better.
Now it gets interesting, time to phase in running again!

JOG 5KM in 37 minutes.
Cant label it as a run, wanted to do a LISS recovery style session.
Goal was 7.5 mins per km pace which i nailed exactly.
Was fun to feel actively slowing down and even getting bored with a pace that i got supposedly running all out a month ago. Sweet.

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : traps, shoulders, hamstrings, glutes, quads
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
Wrecked!!! No subs, 90 mins straight uptempo full court game!!!
Body was in great condition. Was strong, semi fast, vert was great, had a monster block and even a rebound that got cheers ( WTF! ).
But lungs are in bad shape, no running + no smoking reduction leaves me with a horrible fitness level. Gotta address both ASAP!

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

Went out running.  :wowthatwasnutswtf:

RUN 2.5km @ 14m59s
2km split : 11m59s
-Even for 1 second i was below 6m/km pace in total which is  :personal-record: and my short term goal for 5K ( 30m ).

Then, without stopping:
Walk 500m.
SPRINT 500m @ 2m7s
Walk 500m
SPRINT 500m @ 2m17s
Walk 500m
SPRINT 500m @ 2m29s
Walk 500m
-Those sprints are kinda hill sprints, not too much, like 20m altitude difference but still it is a constant gradient.
Clearly don't have those 500m in me yet, kept gasing out and wanting to quit around 300-350m as you can see from the tracker graph below.
Also, finishing each of those 500s ready to pass out i realized i was still a few seconds short of the pace i need to keep for 10 consecutive of them to do 20m 5K. Depressing lol
Still, tracker says i got  2 PRs, max speed ( 15.5kmh ) and max pace ( 3m51s per km ).  :personal-record: :personal-record:

TOTAL : 6km in 45 minutes

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : traps, arms, minor
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
Fitness improvement!!!!  :wowthatwasnutswtf:
Initially i thought it was the same , gased out etc, but somehow i realised i had better/faster recovery. Still having to skip plays but noticeably fewer.
Also, found to have MUCH better breaths towards the end.
Other than that, feeling very strong and explosive and somewhat fast too, would so much love to have enough breaths to keep pushing all game.

In other news, my boosts arrived, can't wait to test them. Funny incident when picking them, for you minimal shoe junkies: desk girl had problems finding them, i see her searching envelopes, i say to her "it is shoes" and she is like "oh, i saw the package weight on the tracker and thought it is too light to be the shoes so i skipped them!" ;D
