X Long Run

It’s been a week since my last normal workout. I wrote less because there was simply nothing noteworthy to write about. I woke up at the same time as usual, stretched, and foam rolled every day. But today, I went outside: It was a warm-up kind of workout. The run felt pretty good, although I […]

So I’ve been sticking with my new morning routine—foam rolling, stretching, and listening to soft jazz music. The first day it felt really great; now it’s just something to do. It’s better than nothing, and still a decent way to start the day. But I’m already starting to wonder, do I actually feel better after

It’s a short one—I did what I had planned. Woke up sore and kind of ill, though I still kept up with my discipline of waking up early. However, instead of working out, I just laid down and did some foam rolling and stretching. I opened the balcony door wide to get some fresh air

Well, the problematic streak continues. My throat is sore, and there are moments during the day when I feel sick. Then, there are moments when I feel almost completely healthy. I don’t know what it is—maybe another variant of Covid, some kind of summer edition. It doesn’t ruin your day but makes you wonder. So,

It was easier today. I woke up, put on my vest, and went out. I’m still kind of surprised by how much harder push-ups become with an extra 15 kg on you. Without it, I easily do anywhere from 50 to 70, even 80 on a good day (mostly fast pace). But with 15 kg

It’s been a while since I stuck to my regular routine. As planned, I still got up before my family, went to the river, did some push-ups, squats, and stretching. Nothing too demanding. Overall, the long weekend was pretty active, though less so in terms of strength training. This morning, I woke up at 5:40

Last two mornings I switched to new routine. It’s super light, basicaly a vacation mode. I wake up at around 08:00 (after 8 hours of sleep, I go to sleep a little later), go for a plunge i the river. Today I did 50 push-ups after that. Tried horse stance, but it was too painful.

Very strange morning today. I woke up before the alarm, feeling fine—no muscle aches. But the thought of going outside to work out almost made me feel sick. I couldn’t even imagine doing an intense CrossFit session or a longer run. This is the first time I’ve felt so overwhelmed by the thought of training.

Wanted to say that it’s been more than a week since I did normal circuit training routine, but actually I trained for almost an hour on Saturday. Not that long ago, but it feels like it. People say that it is Covid that is going around now, but nowadays you have to treat it as

My health situation was pretty stable; I felt good with only minor symptoms. As planned, I went for a run: My pace was 6:26 min/km, which is good for me when keeping my pulse around 140 bpm. I keep remembering how annoyingly hard it was to run 1-2 km just less than a year ago.
