Was lightly fed for the first time in a long time. Placebo or not, i was feeling weak. However numbers were strong so idk about feeling. Ate a shiltload of food later, sth like 2K kcal / 120g protein, all clean!!! LOL nice.

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

RUN 6km @ 39'9''

Wow , that was awesome. Felt like a level up. Got an average km pace of 6'30'' going totally comfortable. Was actively slowing down, never picked up the pace, was on the verge of starting to walk fast instead of jogging slowly at some points. Also, i felt light and bouncy. Finally, i got much less tired than any other time. So that was the easiest 6km ever, i would be very happy with that feeling even if it was with a slower pace like 7'/km, so now that i got it with 6'30'' i am delighted!

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

RUN 7km @ 51'9''

Wanted to do the adarq super-slow thing. Goal pace was 7'30''/km , went a little faster in the beginning but regulated after the first 3 km.
It kinda worked: run was very easy and effortless, I did not get tired at all and felt pretty fresh at the end, with resources to run more, easily.
Next 'milestone' goals: 1 hour duration, 10km run.

sounds about right! should feel great from a run like that, especially the day after. i usually feel like i'm ready to fly the next day after very light runs.

nice!

Yes, I had that in mind too. So here's what happened next day:

23 June 2018

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

-RUN 2.5km @ 13'41'' ,  :personal-record: by 4 seconds. ( 2km split: 11'8'' ,  :personal-record: by 1 second )
-Walk 500m
C1a: Sprint 300m uphill
C1b: Walk back 300m downhill
C1 info: 4 rounds
-Cooldown Jog the remaining 200-300m to complete 5K

So this run was a few hours after filling my system with above average quantity of alcohol and cigar smoke. Therefore i didn't want to 'waste' a max effort attempt. Went hard but not all out, i was actively keeping something like 10%, so those PRs i got are more than welcomed!
Sprints were all out, went as hard as i could: got no max speed PRs, however felt i could maintain a high speed for longer distance and easier. Is that speed endurance? I like it.

Total : 5K in 34'8''

Hectic work week so no lifting, heavy rains every day all day so no running. Funny how i haven't run for 4 days and haven't lifted for 6 and I felt guilty as if i missed a month or so.
On the bright side i was eating light and i think i look visibly leaner and toned now, mostly at upper body and legs, belly fat no changes unfortunately.

28 June 2018

Bodyweight@session : ~84,5kg , low carbs + loss of attached water = instant weight reduction
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

ATG SQUAT ( tempo 1:1:4 ):
8@20kg
8@40kg

Bodyweight@session : ?
Soreness :  legs allover, lats, chest , all minor
Injuries/aches : none

-RUN 5km @ 28'31'' ,  :personal-record: by 6 seconds.  :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning:
-JOG 1km cooldown.

Fastest km : 5'15'' ,  :personal-record: by 3 seconds.   :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning:

This was shocking. It was not a time trial, i didn't chase a PR, i didn't even warmup, went down and started running with the intention of doing a fast but not max 2.5km and then intervals. First km came at 6' pace but i said ok, it was mostly downhill , i probably got carried away. Then i thought i slowed down ( also second km is the hardest one, lot of uphill ) so i expected 6'30'' but i was a bit faster than 6'. Third km i said ok ill keep it steady, like a 10% buffer from max and see what happens. 5'36'' happened so then i saw the PR window and had to chase it and get it.
Still was somewhat fresh in the end, jogged another km and had some reserves. I have no idea where all that came from, i was rusty from not running for a week and also sore from lifting the previous day. Weird but awesome and very welcomed!!!

Total : 6km in 36'31''

I wanted to reach such a low weight later. Its a fake BW, light lucnch and dinner Friday, AM Saturday with no breakfast gym. But still.
I think that i look the best ever. Ive been leaner and ive been bigger, but ive never been at this balance of muscle and leanness. But still i had something a bit better in mind.
Oh well, lets see what happens in July.



8 July 2018

Bodyweight@session : ???

Still too much work and life. Grinding through it to stay on the train. What is most frustrating is not the workouts missed but the fact that holidays are approaching.
Oh well, ill guess ill have to squeeze a few workouts ( running? swimming? BW circuits? ) in the vacation too, im not really good at that but i have to keep up.

13 July 2018

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : triceps and traps
Injuries/aches : none

Tried something different today, something like a fartlek?

-Slow jog 1km
-Sprint 1km @ 4'55'' ,  :personal-record: , first time inder 5'
-Slow jog 1km
-Sprint 1km @ 5'12'' , this would be lifetime PR too until two lines aboce
-Slow jog 1km
-Sprint 500m
-Slow jog 500m

This felt lke the most difficult running thing ive done, even worse than 5km time trial, going all out for 1km ( 5 minutes for me ) is really exhausting. Enjoyed it though, speed is nice.
