1200 m warmup.
3 x 400 m : 1 min 34 sec, 1 min 33 sek, 1 min 31 sek.
cooldown
Not feeling very good in the warmup, tired legs out of breath.
But the 3 x 400 m were actually okay. Had to tell them legs to move for the last of the 400’s.
Sun is shining it’s freezing cold and the birds are happy.
Today is a really good day

Wtf I don’t get it. I’m freaking out, today I’m going to have zero calories.

Biggest thing I learned with scale weight jumps: look for the salt. If you’re anything remotely like me, a single salty meal can push you up a kilo overnight, maybe even more.

There’s your extra weight. Add in the carbs, and you’re just holding a ton more water.

Ist this the ski trainer you are using? Meant to ask that for a while what the heck a ski thorax trainer is.
yes it’s the one.
Kind of funny, works the whole body, especially the core.
Not as hard as a rowing machine.
Great warmup for a couple of minutes Looks a bit silly Will try to record a bit
I can see that :P. Meaning no offense. Still I have literally never seen auch a thing.
