Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
April had been a busy month, and I have completely neglected sticking to my workout routine for a solid 2+ weeks despite staying active.
I was finally able to force/ease myself back into my regular workout routine for the past week or so, and most of my capacities have been reduced by anywhere betewen 30% - 70% LOL~ With weights, I can only do 60 - 70% of my previous number of reps (at the same weight as before) until I reach failure. With "running", it is especially pathetic. I know I have not been a strong runner since I started doing it again last year, but I was generally able to do 10+ min jogs before I am done. But when I tried jogging yesterday for the first time in 3 weeks, I lasted 3.5 minutes. 3-1/2 minutes. I was just appalled by how big that regression is...
When I am not exercising, I don't feel unwell at all, so I don't think there is any inherent health issues. But it has been a week since I got back into things, and I am not noticing any rebounds in my reps yet.

it's ok, we all falter at some point lol. i've been snacky recently and working way too many hours so i've definitely noticed the belly fat making a comeback
trying to behave this week in terms of food. still walking, still doing exercise on the outdoor equipment nearby. still going to my building's gym when I have time. I successfully forced myself to walk for an hour on my one day off too. little wins.

The temperature might be affecting you. It's not hot right now, nowhere near it, but I went for 2 separate runs this past week and my operating temperature rocketed up by the time I was about 3 minutes in because it's quite a bit warmer out (15 and 17C when I was running).
The first run I was wearing a hoodie and I just persevered and ran hot as I had nowhere to put my hoodie. Combined with not having ran for almost 2 months, my performance suffered.
The second run I smartened up and went with just a dry fit and workout pants. I still got quite warm and I also just wasn't in the right state for it. Performance suffered.
Compared that to my best run before the trip and it was probably around 4-5C out, I was frozen for the first 5-6 minutes, I was in what I would say in a good temperature range for about 10 minutes after until near the end where I was sweating and quite warm.
Biggest one is probably just get in shape and mold your body to fit the right temperature range. Back in highschool when I rode A LOT, cold weather did help my riding performance.
I'm sure the warmer temperature is applying a toll on my running performance. At the same time, I am also quite certain that my own physical decline from a lack of exercising is the bigger factor for the abysmal performance LOL~
Just gotta keep pushing! Even when it is 3 steps forward, 2 steps back LOL~

- GF PR'd 10KM sub 54min on her 8th run
- Physically the most strong + athletic I've ever been
- Cardio at peak, 52 resting heart, and sub 50min 10KM
- 200lbs and around 13-14% body fat, having abs, shoulder veins/striations even directly after weekly AYCE is nuts
- Can eat 3,000-4,000+ calories and 20+ beers a week and no weight gain nor hangovers
Gained 8lbs + gout from ayce a5 wagyu, tomahawks, hamachi, and cervaza
As I said, those gold flakes are wildly unnecessary
