Thanks. Funny how the mind is the biggest barrier... tho my calves are probably going to tell me about it as well
With that time being under 35 minutes I might bring forward the program by a week:
Week 3: 5km jog/shuffle any pace
Week 4: 5km under 35 minutes
Week 5: 5km under 30 minutes
Week 6: 5km under 28 minutesEffectively skipping Week 3, so maybe I'll go for more distance...

@NTA oath bro! I think that's one of the really challenging things with running particular (maybe just for the front row club!) . You can pretty much always do more than you think you can... but will you!

Just don't injure yourself mate, last thing you want to do is set yourself back 3 weeks

Anyway tonight I did a bit of body weight, and I mean a bit - totally fucked after three rounds of chinups, pushups, squats with one minute breaks.
First set: 3 chinups, 10 pushups, 20 squats
Second: 3 chinups, 8 pushups, 20 squats
Third: 2 chinups, 5 pushups, 20 squatsFark. Not the best.

Bodyweight tonight again:
3 chinups, 10 pushups, 20 squats for two sets, then
2 chinups, 6 pushups, 20 squats for the last.
Felt better after -
Skipped my run yesterday as I was a bit tired - last 2 days haven't done any exercise really except about 7km walking the last couple of days and a shitload of pressure cleaning the concrete at The Deceased Estate. Italians love them the concrete. Jeez. Must be over 100sqm of the fucking stuff. Anyway, it clean now. The contrast is amazing...

Body weight last night. Finished all three sets tho the 3rd chinup and last two pushups were a struggle in set 3.
Think I need to spend a couple of nights a week just doing upper body. Chinups especially don't get better unless I work hard on them. Would like to get back to 5.
Run this morning, aiming for sub-32 minutes
Went out pretty hard for the first 2km then cruised back, tho it didn't feel cruisy with 500 to go.
No lingering vision issues so that's good.

Waterblasting is such fun. Not many chores like that where you can see instant results that are so dramatic. (well maybe chainsawing down the neighbours tree)

I did some chainsaw work as well on trees that are just out of shot
It is kind of addictive... -

Skipped Wednesday's run as I was probably just too lazy. Drinking a couple of litres of beer last night probably fucked up my run this morning - clocked 2km at 6:05/km then started to get vision issues and calf pain.
So I turned around and walked home using the shortcut. Not a great outcome but it has just been one of those weeks.

Stepped on the scales this morning for a first time in a while.
I may be slightly overdoing the beer side of things...

So easy to do.
I'm astonished and quite proud of my discipline during lockdown though, I won't crack one open before 5pm......I try to stick more to Red Wine though, less bloaty than the Craft beer I unfortunately love.

Yeah I was farting like a demon this morning - the beer was mostly flat tho as I'd bought 5 litres at the local last week ($25) and not stored it in a decent container
But The Bourne Identity was on last night, and I was trying to dispose of flat beer, so I just kept going on the couch until I was sleepy
