Yes it did, sadly, I think your sets next week will be about 5lvs less then normally.

Stayed relatively even at 5:40 on the run to the hill, kept a 7:30 average doing hill repeats, and 6:00 on the way back, with a 400m "sprint" at 4:53.

I think skipping the weights in the gym this week(unintentionally, work was hectic) helped everything rest up a bit better.

2.5 km to hills
4x 1 km hill repeats
2.5 km from hills
400m "sprint"

I'm not too worried about the weight in the gym, tbh, its more to activate some of the muscles that didn't get used much before I started being active again. I have a pretty wide frame and am reasonably naturally muscular, mostly I do it to balance the running, and help a bit with weight loss.

Did a 62km mtb race on Saturday and then an 8.5km trail run this morning. Battled with my fitness level at the race but enjoyed it nonetheless.

Your always running. Do you as run to the grocery store, and jog your groceries backv? :-)

Problem is that I work up an appetite whilst running. So if I did that, I'd finish all the groceries before I got home. :D

Cardio is what makes the abs show, not sit-ups. ;)

I shoveled approx. 6 yards of 1 1/2" gravel today, landscaping my yard. Will do good enough for my workout.

They help, but them alone will not do it

Today was long run day, 10.5 km. My boss came and ran with me for 4 km of it. Watching him struggle through those 4 km made my realize how far I've come in the last year, definitely thankful for the progress.

Cross training day today. Circuit workout with partnered bodyweight exercises, and sprints.
