I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

Υe that's the most of it. Same with my cello practice. In the lockdown's beginning I was more eager to practice. Now I prefer to only play a piece that I enjoy. Similarly, home workouts lost their flavour.

Cello is the best string instrument, change my mind

Didn't know this thread existed. Just putting this here:

Time is wise and our wounds seem to heal to the rhythm of aging,
But our past is a ghost fading out that at night it’s still haunting.

Take a backpack and fill it with books/bottles of waters or what it's in your convenience. You either deadlift the bag itself, or take a broomstick and put it through the bag's straps. It will be close to deadlifting with a barbell.

My latest fitness thing is finding a 1km circuit around your house and doing laps. My residential roads are quiet, smooth and rather spacious, can easily run on the tarmac road if im not listening to music. 1km laps dont feel too repetitive due to decent length. its easy to change your run length due to injuries / tiredness / weather / or wanting to go further. It feels like its easier to get the motivation to start running than if you were to start and commit to a 5km / 10km run to somewhere far from your house. Ive done 2 4km runs in 2 days which seems nice to regularly run instead of running once in a while really far. if you went out for 3/4km you could get changed, run, finish and shower within like 40 mins which is perfect if your watching treaty games or something.

Hehe, less boredom, eh. Only action-packed days.

The Indian major city marathons are so impressive because of those conditions. Kenyans will still run ridiculously fast

Yes, it is harder to run fast in air pollution, as you alluded to in your post. And I was saying many of the big marathons in more polluted cities are slower because of the air quality. Yet, the elite Kenyans that show up still run incredibly fast...

Yeah and you shouldn't be running in that air pollution.

Agreed. What do you think about getting a treadmill for inside? Does that even make a difference or would it be the same? @Shikari
