Pre-Madonna Rest Day 1 + Chest & Tri's

Posted on Sep 19, 2023

Kinesthesia

Early morning, CEO got me on a shoulder / chest tri session from Nike Fit; felt like a great warm up to chest & tri lifts. As a variation I swapped out decline bench with raised leg push ups, managing 3x 6 reps.

Mt Madonna taper continues: tomorrow is two sub 7m30s miles with a break in between, ~ 16m of effort. The legs feel ready.

I do feel some tweaks in my right shoulder (arm extended vertically rotating backwards) which’ll need to be factored into tomorrow’s shoulder lifts.

Improving Tracking

I leaned away from tracking workouts in emacs with the intention of keeping things lightweight, but some of the cracks in the system frustrate:

it’s not portable, e.g. switching to garmin the weight tracking is sub-par and the logs discontinuous
not everything needs tracking, only the key numbers; defining those metrics is super useful

This’ll be a process and more planning is needed, so adding this to the todo queue.
