    This morning I did around 10 minutes of breathing exercizes followed by a 15 minutes of a cold water soak. This afternoon I ran five miles on the trail with a friend and then soaked for 20 minutes in cold water.

    Mostly to help with inflammation. I'm also experimenting with cold exposure to boost metabolism and athletic performance.

    I know that cold water / ice baths reduce inflammation and help with muscle repairs but wasn't aware that it could increase metabolism.

    Metabolism increases during cold exposure to keep the body warm. I've noticed this firsthand after winter camping trips where you are constantly cold on the trip but once you get home the temperature inside feels stuffy. Regular exposure to cold conditions like daily cold showers, cold baths, sitting in snow is supposed to activate brown adipose tissue, or brown fat, which burns white fat to create heat. I'm experimenting based on what I read in a book called What Doesn't Kill Us by Scott Carney where the author talks about Wim Hof and the relationship of cold exposure, breathing exercises, and altitude to health. If you google the title you can find some podcasts about the author and his experiences with Wim Hof.

    Nor was I, try spice ie: jalapeņo to boost matabolism, I think cinnamon may work too.

    An easy 6.5km run before work.

    Strains (achilles & hamstring) felt ok, so I should be able to have a comfortable run this weekend.

    Back is still not 100% so instead of deads off the floor I did them in the rack from just below knee height. Being easier made reps so added a extra set. Upped weight for pulldowns.

    Dead lift 160, 170, 180, 190, 200kg x 7 @2min
    Standing bent over barbell rows 80 kg x10 x4 @2min
    Bench bent over db rows 40 kg x10 x4 @2min
    Close grip pull down 55 kg x 10 x 4 @1min
    Reverse dumbell wrist curls 10kg x 10 x 4 @ consecutive alternating
    Dumbell wrist curls 20kg x10 x4 @ consecutive alternating
