Traumatic lactic acid experience today, at 2 degree weather :eek: I’ve felt the lactic feeling before, of course, but not so intense, and never with such increasing intensity as time went on, once stopped running :eek: !
I think it was too cold, and normally today should have been tempo, but Monday-Tuesday is always like this for my training partner, and I wanted to join along.
15min warm up
dynamic stretching
2 x 20m A skips
2 x 20m B skips
2 x 80m strides (grass) trainers
2 x 80m strides (track) spikes
300m @48", rest 8’
300m @47.5", rest 9’
300m @49.5" >> very very bad feeling; took 25’ to recover from pain; I felt pretty worthless (well, almost), as my training partner looked much more comfortable, and he also did a 4th one (@39-40")
I’ve only started to read your journal and it makes great reading. I like the way you express your emotions and the way certain songs inspire you. Ive found your EMS posts very helpful.Keep up the good work.
Τhanks! This is a good reminder to get back to my EMS again, because I’ve noticed that without it these past 2 weeks, I feel a bit ‘flat’. Or maybe I’m tired. Who knows =)
Sorry John the above is supposed to be Volts. I think. Whatever measures the wave frequency, should reach 120-150 (i think it’s Volts); basically , I’m confused with units.
Let us know how you like your new EMS when you receive it !! I was so excited when I got it that I was using it for 4 hours each day… and I tried it just about on every muscle

My back hurts today… damn deadlifts.
Since I also have some shin irritation, I only did a 4 lap warm up and called it a day.
I’m drawing a sceleton now.
I was debating earlier this month whether or not I want to run indoors this year. I came to the conclusion that my consideration towards running, is due to the fact that I might once again be shown on tv, as last year, which was was kinda cool :o Just the right kind of motivation :rolleyes:
here’s my hill :o (it’s a real TOUGHIE…).
I know one might comment on the asphalt surface, but I really have no problem with it. I have problems with other things, but not this wonderful hill !!
This has been a very diffucult week, with family matters.
Training-wise, I came to the conclusion that perhaps training with a bunch of people who all are watched by meticulous coaches’ eyes, creates feelings of envy. But regardless of how much I hate my solo Milan-training sometimes (and this comees to mind because I’m travelling there again soon), I also enjoyed my solitary hill session today, and felt free as a bird, while accomplishing something higher than what the average club-athlete does. My task is more difficult, and demands more respect, in the end… Not that I expect it, but deep down I know.
I think my middle sister is the best person on planet earth, and I wish the best for her with all my heart, but life never gives her all that she deserves, and that is frustrating to me.
Parents are very frustrating also, sometimes. To the point of wonder.
I got engaged today! I feel really peaceful and happy about it. I’m not the most stable personality when it comes to feelings of devotion and ‘eternal love’, but I have come to understand things better, and I’ve found that when you give your best to someone, it rebounds right back. There’s no better means of self-improvement and self-balance… really. And I do love Dejan. :o
I accepted an apology today by a person who hardly ever apologizes to anyone (my mom) and that felt …hm, nice and relieving? But it felt uneasy and bad at the same time, because I understand that she felt regret and guilt about what she did that made her apologize… And I don’t like the feeling of knowing that my mom feels so bad about something… even though she apologizes… Love is a strange and complicated matter, afterall.
I would say about 3 or 4 weeks of 2-4 sessions a week. I went from 8.5 feet to just over 9 feet. I hit mostly my quads glutes and low back. I have not built up the courage for hamstrings yet. for quads (with legs straight) I can go up to 55miliamps up to 75 on glutes (in a sitting position) and upto 50mA on erectors (in a sitting position).
Hurts like hell… but it does work. The effects fade quickly if you stop using it for a few weeks.
Perhaps stairs sound like a lot, but I feel good improvement of form when I transfer myself on the track!
What I meant by “feelings of envy”, was that I get jealous when I see athletes of my level being coached every day. I want the same, but can hardly have it, due to my constant moving around.
what period was that over?
