Happily autistic after years failing basic Human. Gym goer, road runner, paddleboarder. Growing old disgracefully.
Happy Friday folks! Weekend soon come 🏝️😊

Gym this morning for some HIIT weights, with the travel to and fro I managed to "push the needle right up the little dogs arse!" Daily load 207.

Garmin: Behold, we have an AI to figure out that people get less stressed at the weekend 🤦

Week 2 of "high knees" retraining started... poorly. At least I actually wore my HRM strap this morning!

Lovely morning in my local park. I feel a bit jaded after yesterday's rest instead of refreshed 🤔

As a kid I thought Jazz was the best thing ever. I didn't know he was a stereotype, to me he was the epitomy of cool.

Watching a video on Cuban people facing deportation this month and found this comment.

Trump 2.0 is so much like Brexit, way more so than his first term. Even if you get him out, the US won't be anything like the same ever again

This morning's intervals marked a VO2 Max uptick and a return to a "balanced" load focus 😁

I've not seen this before, it looks ike I've been in "standby" mode since waking up.

Usually the stress levels increase the moment I start work 🤔

This mornings exorcism involved 8 1K intervals. The training effect was "Threshold" despite only spending 3 seconds above Z3 🤷

I've been overdoing the "anaerobic" sprints at the cost of "high aerobic" runs 🤔

I'm already doing 100-120km a month, so "working in more high intensity activities" might be tricky 😂

Today I moved up to 75cm (30") box jumps... getting my huge plates of meat up that high is harder than it looks 🥵

I also narrowly avoided denting the ceiling jumping back off it 😂

18 × 20 second hill sprints, aka Human Zoomies! Always a shock to the system after a rest day 😵

I hit Z5 a few times before extending my 60s recovery periods by up to 10s, to keep the old lungs on the inside where they belong! 🫁🤭
