Thank you K.B! (PR inside)

Post by Stefan Olsson »

As a runner, on amateurish level, I did have quite of running under my belt prior to starting TB. Few half marathons and a handful of trail/mud races.

Did a BB block to begin with in january, but did not push it, rather did the minimum for the E´s. Began Op+Black and started to get familiar with HIC´s for the fist time in my life. It was a fun way do conditioning aside from covering miles on the street/trails that usually was my go to. Fell in love with Devils trinity as I use to train thaiboxning back in the days. Liked the simplicity in Fobbit and occasional indoor power intervals. Started at basic level and increased where I could.

fast forward til today. For the first time in a long time a decided to run outside, and did fast 5 tempo run. Did a trail run. Moderate difficulty. It was quite tough, I guesstimate it was a 85-90% effort. Could not keep a conversation, but did not suffocate either.
As I came near the 5km mark I felt quite tired and quite disappointing with the run. Well, my watch indicated a new PR at 5k. I was just like, how the hell could I get better at running from not running?! :D

This was soo satisfying! The program works! Thank you!

Great job Stefan! PR reports make my day. Your work ethic, discipline and consistency are paying off. Devil's Trinity is one of my favorite as well - if you get a chance try it out with a partner for the sparring portion.

Nicely done! Especially for someone that already has a fair amount of running experience. Every PR at that level is a big accomplishment.

Great job! It's funny how the improvement sneaks up...the effort feels the same but when you look down at your monitor you've shaved off minutes.

Well done Stefan! The best part about TB is the "WTH" effect you see with carryover to other unexpected areas of your fitness.
