If there's a reputable running store by you it's definately worth checking out.
You'll pay a bit more, but if they know what they're doing they'll have you try out various shoes and check your stance and what not. Definately worth it.
So, I knew the Army tape method wasn't an especially accurate way to calculate body fat percentage, but I just got a Bod Pod test done today, and oof. Almost seven percent higher than I thought.
Trying to just look at it as useful data and not a measurement of my personal worth, but my brain keeps trying to be dumb. Whatevs, brain, you're not the boss of me.
why my body so sore i ain't even gym'd in like a week
I always get most sore in my deload weeks, for what it's worth.
all i did was go on vacation to cancun and stopped gymming
i guess i fucked around in a hotel gym one day
I just meant I get more stiffness and soreness when I haven't been working out heavy as opposed to when I have. Not the fatigue obviously, but definitely more stiffness and that tends to lead to soreness for me
Been diligently counting calories and eating clean lately, but went and had a pizza and a bag of chips yesterday. It's kind of hilarious being able to visually see on a graph how much of a spike that makes when actually tracking calories.
Gym milestone, lack of sleep made me shit the bed on all my weights so I don't know what made me think trying to do a 50kg squat for the first time would be a great idea.
Long story short, my ass smote the floor most loudly followed by the weights and the back of my head. I didn't bail "correctly" so I almost gave myself a concussion. The entire weight room was staring at me. FML.
One plus point I could tell that if I wasn't having a shit day I would have totally pulled it off. Looks like those months and months of zero-impact leg exercises finally strengthened my knees up enough to do squats seriously.
I think the gps on my gear S isn't very good though.
According to what was on the bike I went ~24 km, but my watch says I only went 14. Which is odd because when I got to the halfway point where I turned around my watch said I had travelled 12 km, and I went back the exact same path.
What's more is that it says I was biking for an hour and 26 minutes, and that I averaged 15km/h, but still says I only went 14 km.
Overall nice bike ride, wind could have been gentler, but disappointed in my watch.
I associate cycling shoes with clipless cleats, which would very unfortunate for running
These are just very light-weight runners with a thin but grippy sole, they're sold for cycling because they're thin enough that you can easily slide them in and out of toe-clasps (which can be a pain with full-on sneakers). They're also incredibly comfortable just for walking around in, which is why I always buy them, but i've been told I'm probably destroying my feet/joints.

the number itself doesn't matter but the trend has been helpful for me in making adjustments etc
edit: my reasoning is i'm doing 15-17 mph on a stationary bike for 30 minutes, 5 times a week, and my calorie intake might be too low now.

... this is probably a sign that I should buy actual running shoes instead of cycling shoes which I pretend are for running.
But my back and legs feel good.
I really need to diet too though that's what's killing me it's just that's waaay harder to change.
