RUN 8K @ 47:30 ( 5:56 pace )

Slowly getting faster. But the feel is not improving, runs are stiff and tiring. Maybe i should rearrange, i am always doing this 1 day after squatting and 3 days after HIIT run. Legs are heavy.
Ill try doing the long slow run instead and save the "normal" run for 2 days later where im the most fresh.

SS1a : DIPS: 6 @ BW
SS1b : CHINUPS: 5 @ BW
SS1 info : 7 rounds

STATIONARY BIKE: 30 minutes / 17.5 km

I have to lose weight. I am around 89kg now. I like it, i bulked to it intentionally, but it is time to cut now, look-wise and run-wise.
It's been a couple of weeks that i started 16:8 IF , while somewhat reducing calories and upping my running mileage.
I expected that to work but it didn't, BW is steady. Need to start looking macro-nutrients closer.
