Arms got too tired so i terminated early, shoulders were good for more. Makes sense, shoulders were still worked but i haven't done arms work since 9 Dec.

Still can't find the motivation to go run in the freezing cold ( at nights that are convenient for me it is like -2'C/28'F and windy, feels like index down to -10'C/14'F )
It is getting a bit milder though and i am beginning to grow annoyed at this being the 3rd week im not running so i'll suck it up and go one of these days.

Low aerobic zone run 10K @ 1:18:53 ( 7:53 pace )

Haven't done such a run for a whole month so pacing was very rusty here too and i was much slower (previous was 12K @ 7:38 ).
Is ok, it will come back.
I registered for a 10K race in April, my first race ever in a distance bigger than 5K  :headbang: :ibrunning:

Tempo run

3K slow jog warmup
Sprint 4 x 1500m / 2 minutes walking rest
1K slow jog cool down

Target pace for the 1500s is 4:50
I got 4:43 / 4:56 / 4:56 / 4:51

This was very challenging, not max but close. But im happy with the result. 1 month since last intense workout too.
Ok, that wraps it up with the '1 month since...' workouts. I'm back to business for good.

SS1a : PUSHUPS : 15@ BW ( -5 reps per set )
SS1b : BENT ROWS : 20 @ 25kg
SS1 info : 10 rounds

SS2a : PUSHUPS : 25@ BW
SS2b : BENT ROWS : 25 @ 25kg
SS2 info : 2 rounds ( cancelled )

Took a step back to fix pushups form, quality over quantity. Watched many videos, recorded myself too, turns out i was doing many mistakes.
As expected, fixing ROM  & form strictness made the exercise much much harder, i barely made it to the 10th set of 15s.

Easy run 11K @ 1:04:24 ( 5:51 pace )

Progress! 1K more yet 5'' per km faster. 10K split average pace was 10'' faster than last week, nice.
My plan is to add 1km every week, bringing me to 15K mid-March, then i may stick with 15Ks or add slower, like 1K every 2nd week.
Watch says im overreaching, first time i see this training status. But it is more like i was under-reaching lately, im not gonna hold back.

5 and a half hours of skiing!!!  :wowthatwasnutswtf: :headbang:

It's been 2 years. Was rusty as f@ck of course, barely got to a decent form at the end of the day.
Still, what a glorious thing skiing is, a very enjoyable sport in a magnificent nature surrounding.
This totally ruined my weekly run-training plan ( no low aerobic run and no HIIT run ). Don't care , totally worth it, skiing makes me so happy! ;D

How can 15 damn pushups be so difficult when execution form and rom is strict? Reached failure on 10th set, had to do the last 2 reps on my knees WTF.

Easy run 10K @ 59:17 ( 5:56 pace )

Bad day! I was still tired and sore from skiing and humidity was around 90%.
Didn't even match last week's distance or pace, had to do 1km less and a bit slower too. FML.
