EPT"Even a bad run is better than no run at all" - Lindsey Angel
Fitness Review
This was today's objective:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/KbGUNez.jpg)
The days fitness included a whole body routine and a optional run which I decided to complete. I ended up going on the run first and was eager to bring my time down from the last 1.5km run that I had completed in 7.47. I was sure to leave at least one hour after I had lunch before I started the run. Despite pushing myself I ended up finishing the run a whole 18 seconds slower than I had before. This was the first time during the program where I failed to beat a previous running target. I was quite disappointed with myself, next time I will have to keep a closer eye on the clock.
But as Lindsey said " a bad run is better than no run at all".
Next came the routine, the push-up section was the hardest. As regular readers with know I still struggle a lot with push-ups and completing some after already doing some other activity proved really tiring. But I did complete the whole routine four times.
Be sure to check back tomorrow, the days exercise appears to be the most brutal yet. A long run, then some sprints followed by push-ups.... I'm not looking forward to it.
The Days Diet
I am currently not on a diet but will be starting on one soon. This area will go over the days food intake and will include recipes so everyone can start eating better at home!
Starcraft 2 and Stream Review
These were today's objectives:
1. Improve overlord positioning in ZvZ to see incoming ling pressure.
2. Learn a new safe build order and practice defending vs two rax.
3. Keep improving map vision by finding best overlord positions (ZvP).
4. 2 Gate defense practice.
5. Learn a new safe ZvZ build order.
This section will be shorter than normal. Firstly I found the new build orders that I wished to learn. Firstly a pool first ZvZ build order to use on smaller maps, while my greedy build could be used on larger map. Secondly I wanted to investigate and learn Tefel's 15 pool vs terran build order, I hoped this would improve my 2 rax defense.
I played one ladder game a ZvZ where I easily defend a 10 pool with my new ZvZ build. The rest of the night was spent playing customs with a practice partner who two raxed me, I can't remember how many games we played but I lost every single one.
On the previous day I had taken the build to the ladder where I easily defended against reaper play and didn't seem to fall behind despite not going 15 hatch. However against the two-rax play, i'm still not sure how to defend it despite getting out early lings. I will have to practice more tomorrow.
Due to the lack of games, the game summary will remain fairly unchanged.
Game Summary and Points of Improvement
Vs Protoss (x-x)
- With a practice partner continue practice to help with defending two gates
- Re-practice the build orders to ensure I can defend all ins.
- Keep improving map vision by finding best overlord positions.
Vs Terran(x-x)
- Learn a new safe build
- Use lings to follow terran army to avoid being caught unprepared.
- Practice 2 rax defence.
Vs Zerg (1-0)
- Refine new build order, this will provide me with two builds which can be used based on maps.
Overall I still need to improve my build execution while I also need to focus on a few small areas. From tomorrow I will be using new builds in ZvT and ZvZ, I will go more into them tomorrow. So be sure to watch the stream!
Stream Summary
My streaming session was fairly crappy, I spent most of the stream researching and waiting for my practice partner so I don't think I even had any viewers! Tomorrow I will hopefully engage in a large ladder session and provide some good games for people to learn from.
Further Comments
I really need to improve my blogs visual quality and my streams quality. To do so I need someone to help me. I have asked before and had no response. So I am asking again, if you can help me please send me a message on TL or skype. I am looking for someone with Photoshop ability.
As always thanks for reading, wish me luck and ill see you tomorrow! Remember if you want to support me follow me on twitch and twitter so you can see when I go live on stream. Thanks.
