Not gone lie to y'all, I stopped after 2.5 miles and it took me 2 hrs 27 minutes:francis:
I ran a different route than my usual mile and the incline was brutal:damn: but now I know where I'm at so I can't do nothing but improve
2.5 miles in 2.5 hours?!

How?
Unpossible……..

Wait you mean the 5 miles took that long

I'll be in the gym tmw morning ct fletcher:picard:

I pulled 545 off the ground today because it was leg day, and a decently heavy single was on the checklist. I ran a mile after I finished lifting, because I can't lift shyt if I blow a coronary.

The cardio was a secondary objective I had to guilt myself into doing. If I was tryna PR on DL in 5 weeks you can bet the 5 miles runs would be the first thing I'd be bushing.


All of #PBZ is guilty of doing this, to some extent:
@Gully Bull does so much he outworks his caloric intake and thus can't put on as much mass;
@portcityplaya, his opposite, will eat too much and not do nearly enough to compensate for it;
@The ADD is too conservative with his training; consistent as fukk because he's not burning himself out but leaving numbers on the platform;
@You know damn well - does too many types of training: cardio, tire shyt, catch wrestling, MT, etc. that his lifting has no choice but to suffer as a result;
and his foil, @The Butcher, does so much heavy lifting that his energy is depleted leaving almost nothing for other forms of training (calis, cardio, stretching, etc.).

Just how it appears from my optics. :hubie:
