I’ve quite recently started so not having a perfect success rate yet, but it helps,
Still refining the sheet.

actually, could you share your sheet with me. I want to do more tracking, but don’t have the skills/time/desire to create my own

Does that work? It should force you to make a copy, hopefully. It contains instructions but since it’s for myself it’s somewhat ad-hoc.

Thanks!
Couple things:
-
I would recommend not performing speed work and conditioning in the same session
-
Do you know how to properly breathe? It should be into your belly, not into your chest. I remember you said you breathe from your nose during conditioning. That can significantly reduce the amount of oxygen you’re bringing in. May work when you’re jogging at an extremely low intensity but not when you’re running for time.
-
What’s wrong with your shoulders? What is causing shoulder pain?
-
How are you coming to the conclusion that your conditioning has suffered considerably?
-
Are you actually measuring the heart rate during these activities or is it just your perceived heart rate?
Maybe a poor choice of acronym.

I thought the same thing - I asked out loud “what the fuck does that have to do with any of this?!?!”

Context should matter 
And also the article?
I’d like to think so- my cross country coach hammered in the importance of belly breathing
Oh, that’s only for easy stuff ie not yesterday’s workout
Shoulder doesn’t hurt, it just doesn’t want to move (feel very weak)and pops when I press- I could barely do 5 with the 25
The pace I ran the 400 “test” at was one I used to be able to do for a mile
The limiting factor was cardio output
I feel how fast my pulse is- don’t have a number though bc I kept loosing count 
I mean, I got there eventually, but it did take me a while.
Yea it’s funny - my mind didn’t go the way @dagill2 mind went, wonder if there’s a subtext to that!

I didn’t see any pressing in your log for that day, I think you left it out accidentally. If your shoulders are giving you trouble, put more thought and time into shoulder health.
I still don’t think you can say confidently that “cardio output” was the limiting factor. Look at what you did before testing your 400m time. High intensity sprints, heavy pistols, paused pistols, overhead pressing?, several laps and pushups … How could you possibly expect to test your 400m time after all of that? Test it after a proper warmup and nothing else and you may set a PR.

I did 1 set of 5 and gave up 
- didn’t think it was worth logging
It felt a lot more muscular (ie pumping my arms when running felt like I was doing pushups/pressing) It usually doesn’t feel like this
Haven’t caught up but what’s the news on the barbell. R we getting a sexy power bar and deadlift bar?

How’s it working for you? I got the base from a friend that got their base from reddit. My own improvement is the monthly tracking. I welcome feature requests.
No- unfortunately, mum reneged
May I suggest you change your profile pic to GoldenPig?
Pretty good! I only have 2 data points so it isn’t showing much yet
I figured, just glad that you are using it

Outsourcing data analysis to computer programs or research assistants is probably the only way I’ll get anything published in the future
