Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Wow worse run of the last few years.
I guess going for a run with squat-sore legs, T+DI 158 (86+72) , 7 days after testing positive, wasn't the brightest idea lol

Damn, 1.5 month of fitness disaster.
Insane work before holidays followed by rebound-extended holidays, which included abuse of food and alcohol and cigars, while no training at all....
I guess i needed a real break, now gotta pay the price.



2 September

Run 6K @ 41:40 ( 6:53 pace )

Bad of course, out of shape and stiff and all, but actually not as bad as i expected. It was T+DI 150 too so what can you do.


Ok, half marathon race in 7 weeks, lol. Of course i signed up and of course I'm aiming my 1:50 PR and of course it is impossible to reach that fitness so soon.
But it will be fun to chase it.
Found a nice program online, it requires 4*week runs, which i haven't done the other times. I will combine that with:
-Diet, try to lose 0.5kg or more per week.
-Attempt to reduce (close to totally eliminate alcohol and cigars).
Those together are all new elements, will be interesting to see how it will go.
