Nice day... how did the workout feel post run? Any noticeable differences?

The only issue I had was that I was sweaty Betty. Heart rate was up and I was warmed up. I lifted slightly lighter today as I'm trying to watch how much I lift. Don't want to go too big.

Ps I'm officially the lightest I've been in 23 years. Not quite at my target but very close

Lighter a good call I think... this is the way I’m going to be trying it next week (almost shook my virus now) so thanks for the feedback.

Many congratulations on that weight... you’ve done an amazing job and we both know you’ll hit that target soon.

I cut calories and was finding that lifting heavier I was really feeling it. So just dropping and miby doing few extra reps or even more super sets I've found that I'm responding better to that. Also I can move better over the coming days lol.

My pt actually suggested to try it. Saves time warming up and you can have good quality time at the gym. Next time I may run a 3k then a 2k after to cool down or to completly wreck me

Hehe... I’m thinking it won’t completely wreck you... not sure that’s possible mate.
