I notice that you measured your squats by time. what’s the story behind that??
By 1:8 i mean 1 set of 8 reps, with 2min. rest between each set
What about this from Monday the 26th?
“50kg squats 3x 20secs”
Was that a typo??
Oh I forgot about last Monday, yes the squats were timed indeed. We had to do most half squats possible in 20 secs
Same thing for medicine ball twists and some other weird exercise

Test day
500-300-150m all with 15min. rest between runs.
500m 1:12 (pb) Started to accelerate only after 250m so I know I could have run a good 1:09 or so.
I’m in good shape right now, my energy levels are up since I started eating more (strength training makes me hungry), added 4.5 lbs in about a month.
Didn’t do the 300 and 150… foot pain.
I won’t be able to run for a few days/weeks though because my top of foot is hurting like crazy, I walk funny now
I’m always having foot problems… is it due to weak ankles/foot? Maybe someone can help me out here !

Have you had your foot checked by a professional? Could be a stress fracture.
I remember this foot business coming up a few months ago. remind me, where exactly is the pain??
Feet, could be many things.
Could be weakness therfore leading to tightness?
Could be you running form? Surface? Shoes? Could be whole body posture?

I’m going to get that foot checked tomorrow
Oh, and I noticed something at the gym. When I do glute kickbacks with my left leg, my leg is perfectly linear (?) and I feel it in the glute and hamsrings as it should. When I do them with my right leg, however, my leg swings to the right and I don’t feel a strong contraction in the glutes and hams, mainly in my lower back. If I want to have a good contraction I have to tilt my pelvic forward. Also my left glute is more developed than the right one. What’s with that??
