Thursdays session, it was the 2nd session back from lockdown and based on previous lockdowns it will take approx 6 weeks for my heart and lung capacity to return, as it stands my body red lines all the way through my session.
Bloody hell, what training was that- running?I chainsawed a large hedge yesterday, that should be an olympic sport as its such hard work!
SBD session Saturday at the local gym as had availability of spotters

I started Couch to 5k in January and when I finished the program decided I wanted to push for 10k in another 5 weeks by adding 1km each week.
Well, on Friday I ran my first 10k and am absolutely thrilled with myself.
My plan for the next few weeks is to improve my average pace to below 5 minutes/km. There are two routes I run, this one along the beach which is pretty flat and gives me an average pace of between 5:10 and 5:20 depending on the day, and another on the heath which is usually a bit slow around the 5:30 mark thanks to a bd big hill half way through which knocks me right out.
Tonight I'm aiming to do that heath run (about 5km) in 5:15/km pace.

Monday: Bench, OHP, EZ curls, 20 or so pull ups.
Tuesday: Easy 9K (6min/km)
Recent bloodwork suggestive of "Post viral fatigue" (low cell cell counts -"long COVID"?). So keeping weight up but dropping to three sets rather than four and trying to have more rest. A very annoying setback given how much I look after myself these days.
Aiming for squat, deadlift, and Pendlay rows later today but will need to see it goes.

I’m backing off training until the gyms open here on Monday. Today I messed around with a sledgehammer and bent some 6” nails

Your neighbours must think lockdown has gotten to you. https://www.instagram.com/p/CN77jW4jK8F/?igshid=6b...
Yesterday, gym sesh, feeling a bit tired so no bike, pressing mostly, used 100 pounders for the first time in a while for flat bench, then 3 plates each side for hammer strength (shoulders) plus my swim, today was a hilly ride in very windy conditions, earlier was a cold swim around the bay, all in all pleased with how things are going, weight sits at 200ib.
