Spent all last week on a family vacation (our first since before covid) and did lots of day hikes and sightseeing but no formal workouts. Got home yesterday and all of us started experiencing symptoms. Tested this morning and awaiting results. Regardless of outcome, I'm going to take it day by day o...

that's not a bad run actually. at that heart rate. I've heard "painfully slow" is the way to go so that's what I've been trying to do. I've had to shorten my stride and I try to focus on nose breathing and keeping it conversational. The only time the heart rate really elevates is on the i...

Hi, perhaps you could view your training not as a weekly schedule but a list of sessions, this way your schedule can be more flexible and you might not feel this way. Not a bad idea. Even just thinking about it as sessions instead of a rigid schedule mentally makes it more palatable. I just need to...

I'm no nutritional expert so take it with a grain of salt. I have some experience doing longer endurance events (40-50 mile rucks/runs that are usually 10+ hours if not longer). Sounds like your body just needs some additional carbs and electrolytes. It is anecdotal and based upon my experiences and...

PBB Week 3 v2.0 1/24: Apathy and lethargy continued. I know I am mind-fucking myself because I get into this temporal mindset where if I miss a session I mentally start resorting to "well, if I missed one then I might as well just miss them all" kind of bullshit. Honestly, I just to need ...

So, I totally sucked this past week. After my last E session I did absolutely nothing due to a mix of apathy and a cold. Going to re-start Week 3 of PBB tonight

1/18: E LSS for 25:00; actually ran 26:26, 2.3 mi, 140avg, 162max, 11:30 pace. Felt really strong on the run. Had a lot of gas in the tank and could've kept that slow pace for much longer. Felt in a really good headspace considering how depressed I was a few days ago. "Determined" would pr...

Thanks Adksi and @tk_swag1234! I appreciate it. Depression comes and goes in waves for me so it'll be a lifelong battle. 1/15: Depression got the better of me and I just did nothing but sit around, play video games with the kids and read a little bit. Forced myself to take the kids to the playground...

1/14 (evening): E LSS for 20:00; actually ran 25:52, 2.24mi, 139avg, 157max, 11:33 pace

1/13: Didn't work out. Felt depressed and had some gastro-intestinal issues going on so I figured it would be best to just call it a night. 1/14: SE: 3x20 @ 50lbs; ~60 seconds between exercises for the first two rounds, 1:30 for the last round; 2:00 between sets. Took me 35:50 to complete. Depressio...
