I would like to give you the fullest details and update on the pec, however, I am in general really freaking sore, so it’s hard to seperate the soreness around the pec/delt that can give us the best feedback possible. It is sore on both sides, the left pec is just a little more sensative to the touch in the concerned area.

Wish there was a way to track the breakdowns of time/distance. Started really strong and really hot, and aggrressive through 300m – ish, that was the point of mental/physcial test for me, the first 300 I told myself I could hang on to this pace, then 300-600 I mentally didn’t want to hang on, but picked it back up and finished strong.
I will say, I know this is not a fast time, but I’m pretty happy with it for never running. Two things here, I know could get mentally tougher with this with more exposure, the hamstring tendon flared up and was uncomfortable but never at the point of being painful and wanting to stop on the for time, I did want to stop on the 90% effort one though.
Throughout the session the pec felt really good, making me feel good about the severity of it and the aid of blood flow. So feeling a little more confident.
Morning update, I haven’t done anything so far in my day to test it out, but it is not as sensitive to palpate the area, still minor soreness but that is the same soreness on both sides. Feeling good and confident.
