Added some updates from the past few times I went pulling-up and running. About yesterday's 15 pull-ups, I was very pleased, but I noticed there were some deficiencies in form that I hadn't noticed before, such as swinging up using the force from one arm (kind of like the "chicken wing" strats possible for cheesing muscle-ups) in order to help get momentum, which needs to be curtailed. My new goal is maintaining this number of pull-ups, but without ANY hacky, cheaty methods like this – just pure, unadulterated lifting my body using my arms and nothing but my arms. Once I can do 15 of these, including killing all momentum after the negative and maintaining a hold at the top of the position for a second or two (or three), and I stop hurling myself up with momentum hacks and chicken wings, and I make sure no kipping with the feet is used for the last few reps, I think I will be happy and move onto muscle-ups :) The plan thereafter is to just go ahead and use my training band for doing some assisted muscle-ups, which should hopefully be doable given the strength I ought to have built from these pull-ups.

|
| 2 March 2025 | 25:06 | First tryhard 5k :') |
|
|
| 8 March 2025 | 24:37 | Nearly passed out at one point |
|
|
| 17 March 2025 | 24:45 | On uneven terrain, rather than laps of a track |
|
|
| 21 March 2025 | 28:57 | Felt sick because I ran too soon after eating 🫠 |
|
|
| 24 March 2025 | 25:46 | Similar to last time, but also felt noticeably less fatigued by the end |
|
|
| 28 March 2025 | 24:55 | Tried a little harder this week |
|
|
| 31 March 2025 | 31:42 | Hurt my ankles towards the end (24 mins in), so I had to give up. |
|
|
| 4 April 2025 | 28:45 | Wasn't really feeling motivated today. |
|
|
| 7 April 2025 | 26:05 | |
|
|
| 25 April 2025 | 24:43 | Strong first bit, but then felt ache in heart for the remainder & slowed down |
|
|
| 25 April 2025 | ~27:00 | Super hot, and super hungry! I'm putting ~27:00, since I don't want to speculate how long it took me to stop the stopwatch after I finished. It read 27:18.04, though. I'm gonna avoid runs on hot days from now on. |
|
|
| 5 May 2025 | 24:16 | I thought that this time was surely a mistake of some kind, considering I felt that I ran kind of slow during the later half, but after the next time, I think it might have been real too! |
|
|
| 9 May 2025 | 22:33 | DAMN! I went ALL OUT on this one, and I don't think I'm beating it again any time soon! I once again nearly collapsed by the end, and, like most of these runs, I felt my consciousness wear down as the laps piled up. However, I pushed very hard on the flat parts of the course (8 + 1/3 laps), which made massive gains over previous times. I am very happy with this time! |
|
|
| 21 May 2025 | 26:07 | Very meh, as I half-hearted the second half of the run completely. |

|
|

|
| 23 May 2025 | 15 | The last one may or may not have counted, but I think it was at least 90% of the way there ;) So this is my PB as of now! I want to reach 15 of these in GOOD form, then I can move onto muscle-ups as I intended them... | |
