Lifting with your hubby helps too!
LOL My wife is the ULTIMATE distraction for me. But huh, she never gets hit on.

Jamie1888/jls7279 definitely can concentrate on only lifting when we lift together as our husband/wife team. Haha.
FWIW, some of my favorite runners are self coached 8|
Wilson Kipsang, a former world record holder & the most marathons under 2:05 (I think?) is self coached. unreal.
Jake & Zane Robertson are self coached as well. Pretty cool.

Yup.
Accumulate fatigue → pull back the bow.
Release w/ some rest/deload/taper → vanquish your opposition.

Woke at 217.8 lbs, looking kind of dry I guess? Best sleep in a while.
Wish I could say that, I am knackered

Went over budget by 1000 cal or so, via a bowl of oats, honey and yoghurt for dessert at dinner. Delicious AF.

Nice workout Mark, you are really testing some limits here, with all that submax work and short rest.
Do you have the slightest idea if you’ve become stronger with heavy weights?

Woke at 218.9 lbs, looking tight again. OK. Not sure how that works, but OK.
@painter27 cool, I’ll look out for a message
@mortdk I think I am. The weights are moving fast no matter how shitty I feel, and that’s usually an indication that something is going right.

Dinner was delicious: mince beef, pasta and a slice of chocolate cake. Another 1000ish cal over budget but I was hungry AF.

Woke at 218.9 lbs, looking pretty tight. I’m going to give it another couple of weeks and if the scale doesn’t move I’ll up calories again.

Also, just a note
My hamstrings are toast. Straightening my legs is no fun.

Just muscle soreness or something more sinister??
