Monday, Tuesday is a fun set up. Run, squats, intervals, such a smart idea. I get Wednesday for my legs to recover and they rarely do fully before running on Thursday.

Ditto that. Still sort of remedial training but the aching today is telling me this is moving away from softly, softly recovery work back to the proper blood and guts. Nice to be walking a bit like I have soiled myself again, I have missed that.
Having my son watching me all the time will help with recovery anyway. His Asperger's style of absolutely right or wrong is making my movements so tidy.

I notice a lack of bench pressing on your bench day. Cathy really messed things up for you.
Post on eating disorders is ever-relevant, and it's an issue I'm very cautious of contributing to, because I know that I have a lot of power to lead people along eating disorders, and leading people away from an eating disorder is much more difficult.
In my very first semester at uni, I had a lecturer who claimed that eating disorders and body image issues are a purely post-industrial-revolution Eurocentric phenomena. He was able to justify it in a way that sounded feasible, but as you've pointed out, these issues have always been around in some form or another. As an aside, much of what he said in general turned out to be wrong, eg he gave a history of philosophy lecture, in which he taught that philosophy began in Ancient Greece and not much has happened in philosophy since -- wrong on both counts (while Ancient Greece made philosophy a big, recognisable thing, it's existed (often taken for granted; still taken for granted today) in all cultures at all times; one of the biggest, worldview-altering changes in philosophy over the last few centuries has been the shift away from formal and final causation).

I love the way people who try specialising in history assume this is a static subject. I even remember a person declaring they were taking a degree in history because that would be a subject they didn't need to relearn. They weren't happy to have me pointing out that every time there is a new discovery we have to re-assess a lot of what we think we know.
Rosy tints are something I hate too, that period was perfect because I haven't studied it fully or it was when I was young, total rubbish. In truth we are living in the most peaceful time in history and there are less countries with masses in true poverty, as in starving in the cold, than at any time in history.
It is easy to inadvertently encourage eating disorders. I know I have in my younger days just by having a visible 6 pack and walking around with this visible in summer. The pursuit of perfection will cause people to do stupid and unhealthy things. The fact that I am naturally lean and was actually wanting to build up is something those looking at me wouldn't have realised.
Shh, people aren't supposed to notice there is no bench in my bench session. I am working to really strengthen my core to recover fully. Bench will be back in 5 weeks time when I switch sessions again.
In other news my son has gone up in weight for squats, high and low bar now using 5kg of iron on a length of plumbing pipe. Movement is spot on and he is finishing each set with something left in the tank, and knows this is how it should be.
