Really pleased with bench, I took my feet a little wider to get a solid ground contact and that made all the difference – could’ve done around 7 reps on this weight.

Hit my head on the 2nd set of pullups and had to stop… idiot. Ok that was a good workout, struggled on shoulder press and curls but those aren’t getting any heavier so if I can keep up consistent training it should be a breeze.

Bit of Pantera and Korn’s Twisted Transistor gave me some adrenaline to get through this. Worked on technique in cleans and getting a controlled full depth squat. Finished with glute/HS raises, really felt these and hopefully it’ll give my posterior chain some extra strength.

Not sure why I moved the cone, guess I get frustrated when I know i’m half a second off my best so I changed it up to a distance i’d never run. Rest period was too short but even my first run totally fresh I ran the exact same time as my easy-fast-easy runs which makes me think I only have one gear and completely lack top speed. I’m expecting a jump in times as I see it being a co-ordination issue and it will click again and I can sprint with proper technique as it’s currently very laboured and lacking intensity.

One of my hardest final reps on squats but I surprised myself by not panicking or rocking out of position and I just eased the weight up. Think i’m adjusting to these weights and not getting intimidated by the numbers.

Did Ab circuit without the video and was a minute off the time, thought it was a better way to do it because I sometimes feel like I can jump ahead of the video and days like today my fitness is poor and I need extra rest.

Awful conditions at the track, there was a big headwind and driving rain which I feel helped me work on my determination as I knew my fitness is lacking and the times would be poor.

So pissed off with my first rep I was fuming. Why turn up to the fucking track if you can’t even hit the first fucking rep. I think I pussied out in the acceleration phase and held a slower top speed all the way round. It got better and faster as the session progressed and I am happy to target a faster total time next week.

Rugby Match (Won 46-12)

Played outside centre as a few of the backs were away this week. Scored the first try from inside our own half, saw a gap and burst through it and then fended off the full back to touch down. I felt quicker and stronger than I’ve ever been on the pitch and wouldn’t mind testing my skills for the 3rds next time i’m free. Got taken off early in the 2nd half which was a bit annoying because i’d played a whole half uphill and wanted to show my pace on a decline.

Not sure why I moved the cone, guess I get frustrated when I know i’m half a second off my best so I changed it up to a distance i’d never run. Rest period was too short but even my first run totally fresh I ran the exact same time as my easy-fast-easy runs which makes me think I only have one gear and completely lack top speed. I’m expecting a jump in times as I see it being a co-ordination issue and it will click again and I can sprint with proper technique as it’s currently very laboured and lacking intensity.

One of my hardest final reps on squats but I surprised myself by not panicking or rocking out of position and I just eased the weight up. Think i’m adjusting to these weights and not getting intimidated by the numbers.

Did Ab circuit without the video and was a minute off the time, thought it was a better way to do it because I sometimes feel like I can jump ahead of the video and days like today my fitness is poor and I need extra rest.

Awful conditions at the track, there was a big headwind and driving rain which I feel helped me work on my determination as I knew my fitness is lacking and the times would be poor.

So pissed off with my first rep I was fuming. Why turn up to the fucking track if you can’t even hit the first fucking rep. I think I pussied out in the acceleration phase and held a slower top speed all the way round. It got better and faster as the session progressed and I am happy to target a faster total time next week.

Rugby Match (Won 46-12)

Played outside centre as a few of the backs were away this week. Scored the first try from inside our own half, saw a gap and burst through it and then fended off the full back to touch down. I felt quicker and stronger than I’ve ever been on the pitch and wouldn’t mind testing my skills for the 3rds next time i’m free. Got taken off early in the 2nd half which was a bit annoying because i’d played a whole half uphill and wanted to show my pace on a decline.
