My way towards (next) OCR

GtG pull-ups: 7x8

 

Handstand progression - 15min

Wall walk was all the way up, until my palms were ~30cm from the wall (was that a wall handstand?). I kept the position for about 30 sec. Rinse and repeat for ~5 min.

GtG pull-ups: 7x8

 

Simple&Sinister:

As Pavel says it is allowed, I ditched hip bridges and halos.

As a warm-up I did only prying squats to get hips open. 

 

Main:

10 x 10 single arm swings with 24kg

10 x 1 TGU with 24kg

 

No issues with arms or glutes. This lets me cut down on warm-up time, and (sadly) time is the most important factor for me.

Run: NONE.

My mood was down, weather was meh, so I was putting my run for later and later. Finally I put my rollerblades on and went for an hour ride - or rather braking/slowing down practice. Had lots of fun

Sadly, skipped my HS progression as well. I was planning on catching up with it on Sunday, but it didn't clicked in.

Simple&Sinister:

Warm-up: 2x5 prying goblet squats (24kg). 

 

Main:

10 x 10 single arm swings with 24kg

10 x 1 TGU with 24kg

You know about the roller blades thing, my husband has one of those scooter skates, maybe I'm not good around vehicles of any sort, but I tried it and I was like...urm I think the slightest bump would send me off the road =P I was like uh...I think I'll stick to running, thanks.

 

What kind of terrain do you roller blade on? Paved roads?

[aramis]

For now I have two places - one paved with those (bit annoying because brick "borders")

 

 

and one being asphalt parking lot (smoother, but with bigger incline). 

 

When I get more used to skating, I plan on going longer routes on asphalt roads.

GtG pull-ups: 7x8

 

Handstand progression:

 

5 min - wrist mobility and abs activation

5 min - Crow pose. Longest I kept the pose was 6 seconds. Not much, but longer than last time - I finally start to catch the balance  

And then wall walk to Wall Handstand, keep the HS, wall walk down and rest. Three times, HS held for 50, 40 and 30 seconds.

And  about half an hour of skating in the evening.

Your handstand training intrigues me...hrmm walls aren't hard to find at home, and I guess the only thing you need for crow pose is a pillow in case you lose balance ^^

 

Asphalt and flat is a good idea. I remember my last scooter skate attempts any bumps were like...iffy business.

GtG pull-ups: 7x8

 

S&S - NONE

I got stuck at work for extra 3 hours, so I had no time for a training when finally came back home.

May 30th

 

Run - 5.3km, 30:00 (5:40/km pace).

 

Wanted to do 10K at first, went slower to keep my energy for longer, then in the middle lost all motivation and ended the run after 5K with a poor time. I have no idea what caused that, but I don't like it.

 

Later in the evening did S&S routine:

10 x 10 single arm swings with 24kg

10 x 1 TGU with 24kg

Ow. That sucks. I wonder if I should stop myself from checking emails out of working hours really...

Hmm. I suppose you didn't figure out why you lost motivation? I lost motivation once because of trying to find the toilet so I could get water. Some other times it's too mother fking hot to run at 32 degrees in the noon.

I think you should. After all, "working hours" are called like this for a reason

Nope. But, to be honest, I wasn't even trying. I was like... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I realized there's no pressure on my running other than one I give myself. And decided I won't push myself to run amazing distances with great speed... I'm not into running that much. For me it's enough to be able to run 5K at pretty much any moment. I think I can run 10K from time to time, which is even more I was aiming for in the first place. So... no pressure (I think I will turn it into my new motto )

Handstand progression - none. Fire unit stuff kept me busy all afternoon, and when I had like half an hour of free time, Dad asked me to help him haul some steel rods from one place of our garden to the other. So instead of doing handstands, I was pulling heavy stuff around

Ehhhh! Nice run!  =)

 

I'm always hard pressed to do 10k sub 1h. Not sure if I can pull it off now heh...probably need loads of green tea.
