A small update from Sodin's training. Been doing short and long cardio runs. Short ones being 30 min jogs and longer ones varying from one hour to two hours of interval training to get my oxygen intake higher. My original hometown also provides unlimited amounts of long steep hills which is perfect for that purpose. Overall feeling is great and I have noticed the progress has skyrocketed during this latest week. Today I jogged for about 20 minutes and checked my sports tracker to see if it's working correctly. It felt like I had been training for 5 minutes but instead it was really 20 mins of hill climbing. Went a little further and had a good 50 minute leg rape in total.

Feels goodman

Make sure you don't get injured though, that's what killed my exercise plan in the end of last summer.
(It can happen to anybody especially if you are rollin' for a good amount of time, really)

Can be a pain in the ass when you can't walk for two weeks.

[Son Of Odin]

I'm aware of that Christo. I went to border jaeger re-training camp couple years ago and got really nasty blisters at the bottom of my heels. The one in my right leg was as big as the bottom side of the heel. It took about 2 weeks to be able to walk normally after that one week buttrape guerilla warfare madness . So yeh I know when to stop. Like they said in borderguards "here everyone will find his own borders". Not sure if that pun translates well into english but I found out what my limits are .

cant you do dips without a machine?

cant you do dips without a machine?

You can do dips from an even ledge that is not too far from the ground, like a bench.

[Torben]

sounds great odin!

@ anal:  i did normal dips in supersets with the dip machine. 

kuoin,  i think he ment sth else ,  btw dimond pushups are a great bw triceps exercise as well!

[IR_Kuoin]

Well dips can be done in a machine and on a bench, prefer using a bench though

[Torben]

ah,  mate.  we are talking about the free dips/parallel dips/whatever.  the ones where you hang free and push yourself up:

parallel bar dips are sick, don't need the machine for it.

parallel bar dips are sick, don't need the machine for it.

as i said,  superset.  might as well have done dips n pushups or dips n cable push down.

Life goal

sick today,  wont be doing sports till tuesday,  also next week is my delaoding phase,  so not that big of a deal.  hopefully ill be strong for my tests,  and get some swimming done...

Next week I'm going to the gym and take Spurdo there with me to lift some iron. I wrote this here so I might actually finally do it . It is good to have a friend in the gym if you need a spotter for maximum weight lifts when the progress has gone that far. It is profit for both and you are more likely to follow your plan when you have a buddy there as well. I am not going to record my stuff with German precision though. I go by the feel like I do with my running excercises. Pushing myself to the edge but not over training

I took a day off today as well because my calves felt too tense. I've been out there every day for about a week so it's good to give my legs some time to recover more so I can continue my cardio routine with full force.
