Mortimer Posted January 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Tuesday: Ran for commute to the career fair. I didn't know I could go that fast while carrying a backpack... Agreed the backpack only had an umbrella, a couple of career coaching brochures, pull-up resistance band and a hand towel. 10x10 1H swing 9.8kg I tried to TGU with 9.8kg, right side managed one, left side was epic fail. Try again next week I suppose. 9x1 TGU 7.8kg Completed ringfit World 2 in one shot, though I took some rest when I was doing the overhead press against the boss. I'm out of soapy water buckets today... 2 Quote Link to comment

Mortimer Posted January 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Running my ass off and nothing else today: It wasn't a leisurely run. I was pushing for speed because I had to get back to cook dinner and I feel flat as a result. I dont think there's any damage per se other then feeling stiff though. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mortimer Posted January 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Ran around 18km on hilly terrain today. Would have liked to run more but my left knee doesn't like me =( It seems elevation and (possibly) going at a faster pace triggers my left knee (outer side) to ache. And this time I did stretch after 6.5km so it wasn't a no stretch run. I think I will need to do more research on this. Then I went for the 7 station fitness assessment being held at sports stadium. Results(each exercise is done for 1 min) : 37 push ups 47 squats with 5 kg barbells in each hand - there was an option to do with 12.5 kg barbells, but I decided against it as I didn't want more knee issues. 33 at 4 kg medicine ball slam, 3.5 shuttle run through tires and a short distance to cones. 13 assisted pull up 20 step lunges with 4 kg ball 22 box jumps on 20 inch box Quote Link to comment

Deadlifts: Bar + 15 kg on each side x 8 reps Bar + 17.5 kg on each side x 8 reps Bar + 20 kg on each side x 8 reps Then I got caught on my form for deadlifts - I've been hunching my back to do them.
