It’s been extremely difficult to maintain fitness during COVID-19, but I’ve been trying. This includes body weight workouts (e.g. push-ups, pull-ups, dips etc.) along with running. In both of the aforementioned activities, I’ve made considerable progress over the past few months. For the bodyweight workouts, I can do more reps (indicating I’ve gotten stronger), and now I can run faster (covering the same distance in a shorter period of time).

Evidence of the increase in running speed can be seen in the above screenshot. For context, in this post, I ran roughly the same distance (5.20km instead of 5.30km) in a longer period of time (roughly 36 mins instead of 24 mins). For both of these runs, I put in what felt like the same amount of effort. The fact I was much faster is clearly indicative of progress.
As school has now opened up physically, I am now also engaging in other sports recreationally, particularly volleyball and soccer. Recently, in advisory, I also played volleyball with my fellow peers. This helps with footwork and agility, skills that were hard to train during the pandemic.
