Re: Fuck lifting. From here on out, this my couch to 5k log.
23 Feb 02 Thursday (Late Night)
Run: just over 5k. Slow as dick.
Read an outstanding article today. (Can’t find it now.) Was on adaptations to slow running vs fast running.
Idea was that fast running made heart adaptations, so your heart can pump more powerfully.
Slow running encouraged micro-vascular development, so more tiny veins.
In the first, with the more powerful heart, more blood could be pumped per unit of time in order to get more oxygen to your muscles.
In the second, with the increased number of tiny veins, your muscles could absorb more oxygen per unit of blood that was pumped to them.
Both types of running brought about bout adaptations to some extent, but each did more of one than the other.
I can safely say my heart is still tiny and weak, but my veins are likely slowly expanding and improving.

Gotta have a dedicated deadlift day every week.
This is it.
Heard a random tidbit today that the USMC began testing grip strength at their inception in that tavern, and never stopped. Someone has to have done something cool with this data. Going to try to track something down.
I hope Fedor does well tonight.

Agreed!
No treadmill at my house. This was outside.
I used to like treadmills, but now I hate them. Outside is so much better!!!!!

Fuck, everything was heavy today.
I was gasping after Deads. Not normal.
Everything exhausting.
That’s why there’s so little backoff work.
Probably because I’m sick.
While driving to work this morning I vomited on my shirt a few times. All I’d had was coffee, so luckily the consistency wasn’t as gross as it could have been. Little sleep last night. Gross cough when I wake up, gets better through the day.
Luckily I always have extra clothes in my car.
I would have liked to have called in. But I’d already volunteered for a conference and it would have been tough to replace me last minute. There aren’t that many high viability “asks” of me, so I would have looked like a little b if I’d called in.
Whatever.
Day’s over.

I’m starting to get used to running and squatting. Not like my squat is improving much, but legs aren’t constantly sore.
I was taken back for a minute at how good my legs felt this morning during squats, even after running last night.
According to my Garmin, my resting heart rate is down to 57. Which is a fuck of an improvement for just over a month of running.
This is a hell of a read if you remember the Nord Stream pipeline attack.

Was there any point to the deadlift back off sets of 315 x 6s x 5r?
I don’t know.
Back when I was at my deadlifting peak, pre Covid, my easy backoff sets were with 405.
Fuck, that’s a drop off.
And yet, I’m optimistic for my deadlift in 2023.
Tired AF. And it’s only 9:30pm. Often tired this past week. If I can stay awake a little longer I’ll go for a quick run.
