the reason my ROUTE starts at Girls high is TR Jnr has his Tae Kwon Do classes there...plus, I spent enough time there in my 7th form year (>10 years ago...) to not worry about it anymore!!
Anywhoo, bit of rain this arvo so decided to go up Parihaka instead of my run from last week as the trail would have been slippery as.
Starts again at 81m elevation, gets down to 13m before ascending to 230m in about 800m, was 5.94km in the end, which was a bit further than I had thought it would be haha.

another run tonight, no rain so trail was a bit busier, but knocked2mins off my time from Tuesday, but know still plenty of room to improve still with large sections of the uphill where I walk or granny shuffle.
-

Cleans w 40kg
Seated med ball side to side (10kg ball)
push ups
pull ups (this was actually 5 x 10 for 2 reasons, 1 rotator still not 100% and 2 I cant do that haha)Todays;
2,4,6,8....20
lunges (each side)
air squats
shoulder press 7.5kg ea
press ups
lying leg raisesHave a feeling my legs are gonna be farked tomorrow, lunges always kill them
-
4.5km run today, round a flat concrete loop, 5.30 per km, which is slower than I thought Id be on a run like this, but was feeling a bit lethargic and not keen to run today so maybe that was it.
-
didnt do anything on THursday as I normally do as I spent the day in the water at Goat Island with MIss TR's class.
First time I been there in years, shows how good marine reserves are, loads of good sized fish!
Anywhoo...today, bloody warm up here, spent the day outside doing shit then did a work out:
Did the 2,4,6,8...20 although with some slight variaton
Sumo pulls/press, press ups, pull ups (once I got to 10 I just kept doing 10 with an assistance band as I could feel it in my shoulder) shoulder circles (multiply rep by 4) mountain climbers (x4)
THe shoulder circles are supposed to be good for the rotator cuff, which I irritated again on wednesday sleeping FFS, so I think if it doesnt sort itself soon I will need to get it seen to, but want to leave it until after summer really as it is more an irritation than anything significant (although I have no idea how major rotator cuff surgery is)

I've got an old rotator cuff injury from nine years ago (ski fall). It's generally pretty good, but definitely a weakness there. Can be aggravated by sleeping in an awkward position, but I've learned to have an extra pillow handy, and with that under one's arm seldom an issue.
I imagine certain medico's have exercises which may release it -- witness the Rieko 'miracle' -- but if you want it 99% (doubt 100 is achievable) I think keyhole surgery is fairly 'minor' but does mean four to six months before being fully functional.
-
@pakman mine is an old rugby one, about 15 years?
Mine has been maybe 99% since then, woke one morning and there was so,e pain. Strength wise I never had any issue was more the movement and when the pain kicked in.
Even now having irritated it twice in two months, strength feels fine but is more restrictive and more pain (not real pain but enough to make me less inclined to push it)
I don't want to go for surgery, so will avoid if possible.
I ice it most nights, which helps.
-
@taniwharugby Mine I'd put at 95%. There is a position, with my hand at shoulder level, where it is quite a lot weaker than other side. Once an inch or two higher full strength again. There is a also some slight play in the shoulder when arm stretched down and out. I occasionally irritate mine doing shoulder exercises, but that applies to both sides. Takes a little strength away and seems best not to push it.
That said, I'm in my 50s and a life of doing sports (tennis as well) does mean one's shoulders get wear and tear. The ligaments gradually get frayed over time and at some point there can be swelling. Because the channels they run in are quite narrow that can lead to shoulder impingement syndrome. I suspect that is what I now get occasionally. Answer is ice, ibuprofen and taking it easy for a few days. That has worked for me.
I have avoided surgery, and not keen. The only thing I will say is that I'm considering getting a specialist to give me a check up. The reason is that I expect being at 95% may be accentuating the wear and tear, so if a surgery were advisable I'd probably be smart to think about it while I'm young enough to heal well. -
@pakman yeah was always only one certain angle I put my arm into I got pain (so you learn not to)
I'm in my early 40s and played rugby to my 30s and play golf as well as being pretty active otherwise.
But as I said, if it is still not right in the new year will get it looked at by a specialist as I am concerned that I might be making it worse.

Sunday:
Squats, shrugs, press ups, mountain climbers, shoulder circles
5 sets of 12 on each except shoulder circles which I do doubleRun up the hill today, bloody hot, sweating buckets, felt like I was making decent time (especially up the hill) but took almost 2 minutes longer today
-
run tonight, but ran the other way up the hill, where the trail is longer going up but not as steep...anyway, took another minute longer than last run at 48.35
BUt gee I struggled to get into stride today, was about a km before my breathing settled, and boy she was a warm one too!
-
no actual workout on weekend but went for a 4 hour hike of around 12km with TR Jnr on Saturday (thousands of stairs) I had the back pack with drinks, snacks and spare clothing, so was sweating buckets, and he barely looked like he got a sweat up, little punk!
Yesterday fully intended doing a workout (enjoy running/workouts in the heat) but when a part on the ride on broke, I wanted to finish one patch with the push mower, then decided to do more, nek minut I decided to do the whole lawn...almost 4 hours later, again sweating buckets...decided I would just chill for the latter arvo and sink a couple of cold beers!
-
had a run last week where I beat my PB by about 90sec, not sure why, didn't feel like I was pushing any harder.
Worked out both Saturday/Sunday and then as TR Jnr Tae Kwon Do has finished for the year, didn't run last night so smashed a workout when I got home last night.
I enjoy exercising in this warmer weather, really lets you know you been doing something!
Rotator Cuff is up and down, right now, it is probably 90%, whereas yesterday sitting at work it was probably a 75%...in one of my work outs I did 110 pull ups with a resistance band assisting and it felt sweet.
-
ended up hurting my back the day after New Year, is still about 90% but has restricted me doing a lot, but have gotten back into it the past 10 days, which included some pre-season fitness stuff I did with TR Jnr on Sunday, the boy still got some way to beat his old man
-
so after getting back sorted, I had an incident on Sunday...after having a few beers at the neighbours I was climbing back over the sty we have in between, carrying about a ¼ of a lemon meringue in a dish, and a chilly bin (mostly empty)…as I went to step over the top wire, the front of my jandal hooked under the wire but my foot was over as was my momentum…meringue landed flat, held onto chilly bin, as I have tried to leap off my left so I didn't fall flat on my face, I have over stretched my right leg and tweaked my hammy as I landed on my right on the slight slope
Went for a 4.5km run last night, hammy was a bit tight, but iced when I got home and seems better today than it was yesterday.
