Good-Afternoon Everyone!
AHHHHHH!!!! I can't believe I have yet to remember to check my heart rate when I wake up. That's it guys... It is completely hopeless. Forget I even mentioned it! Haha. 

This morning was ehhhh. I honestly didn't have the drive or mindset to get up and get shit done. But something in my head got my ass out of bed to get in my cardio. I'm thinking about starting to hit cardio when I wake up, fasted, to increase the fat oxidation during a fasted state. It may hinder my distance/time progress due to the lack of nutrients immediately prior to training, but the science behind fasted cardio and fat loss for prep is my main concern. I think I may also increase my walking time post run. In my recent posts, I document and log how I walk home from where I end my only attempt of a constant paced jog. I think I will be increasing the distance I walk post jog, and walk a longer route to increase my overall energy output, and increase my calorie expenditure.

Let's talk about my pre jog supplementation and nutrition for today to just get some insight. I woke up at 7AM to drink my usual whey protein shake that had melted peanut butter blended in with it. Then around 9 or 9:30 AM I hit up meal two, which involved egg whites, fish oil, some cottage cheese, and some broccoli. At maybe 10:30 or 11, right before my jog, I drank a quick MTS Machine Fuel BCAA shake, which I stacked with Ethitech Nutrition Beta-Alanine for extra blood vaso-dialation, along with MTS Vasky. Did the supplements completely change my progress? No. There is no quick boost that gives you unlimited amounts of energy or creates a new and improved athlete in one dose. Well, maybe. But that shit is illegal, haha. I do believe the MTS stack helped with bloodflow and pump nutrients into my legs to increase the amount of oxygen that could reach my muscle cells.

When starting out on my jog, I literally felt like I could go forever,.... until my shins began to shriek in pain. Once I hit a long road that goes down hill, all of the weight impacts directly on my shins, and began to make them hurt like crazy. I pushed through a little bit longer than usual and actually lasted almost 8 minutes, with a 7 minute and 45 second constant jog time. I then spent about 5 minutes and 40 seconds to walk home from the location I had ended up at.

Day 4

Time of Day: Morning 11:00AM
Duration till fatigue: 7:45 seconds
Location: Around town, on pavement/gravel streets
Thoughts: Going down hill really impacts my shins and puts all of the pressure from my weight on the anterior portion of my legs.

Issues in muscle fatigue/joint ache: Not only did my shins begin to freaking hurt like crazy, but my quads actually started to cramp possibly half way through my cardio session.
