Did 10km first fully (70m30s). Then took 5 min break and then PU, SU, squats in order (17m30s). I felt AWFUL after lol. But today I continue to feast and rest. I’ve eaten so many eggs today lmao.

I broke it into 5 even sets, but should’ve taken advantage of my squats and pushups being really strong.

In general, I don't like this direction. I don't like D&D pushing recurring subscription fees and I especially don't like when content is gated behind it.

It’s called “400 pushups”. Here’s the breakdown: 400 pushups Went pretty well!22 Mar 2026 19:11 +0000at://did:plc:fnl45bcicfocbanrbkyr6fws/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhoarifvwk2thttps://bsky.app/profile/dmsteve.bsky.social/post/3mhlo5zxop222I did it. I ran 5km in 30 minutes. I’m on the 9th and final week of a training program. Long C19 still weighs on me (HR skyrockets after only a minute and doesn’t recover properly), but I feel more resilient and tolerant of cardiovascular stress. 🥹21 Mar 2026 18:33 +0000at://did:plc:fnl45bcicfocbanrbkyr6fws/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhlo5zxop222https://bsky.app/profile/dmsteve.bsky.social/post/3mhixpcfjsc2rI wonder if there's a lot of JJK inflation fetish art.20 Mar 2026 16:45 +0000at://did:plc:fnl45bcicfocbanrbkyr6fws/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhixpcfjsc2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/dmsteve.bsky.social/post/3mgpicupb522pimo in dnd: 1 is 1. 2 is basically 1. 3 is definitely 3. 4 is 3. 5 is 5, I think.

It’s not much but… I’ve talked about how hard it’s been to improve my cardio vascular. HR spikes to 160 bpm, comes down after 5 min, chest pain, etc. But I started a gentle 9 week program.
