Wow! It's been a full week since I posted...don't worry I haven't given up. I was on the road for business last week and just got out of the habit.
Had some amazing workouts and I hope to soon put in another one mile time trial to re-assess my "Miracle Mile" marathon prediction.
Some items of note:
-Deadlifted 315 lbs- Did two workouts right on top of each other without the normal 3+ hours of rest inbetween. Went from heavy deadlifting to a 4 mile fartlek. Wow! the deadlifting really takes it out of the legs.
- Did the "Filthy Fifty" workout...brutal. It's a total of 500 reps of ten various exercises including 24" box jump, burpees, 20lbs wall-balls, pull ups...brutal...every station I walked away from had a puddle of sweat- 49 minutes of brutalness. I took two days off after this workout. Did I mention that it was brutal?
- Yesterday was a great complete body workout. Started with "Lynne" which is 5 sets of max reps body weight bench press followed by max reps pull-ups. 10 sets of MAX reps to the upper body is great! I followed that up with 6 x 400m run. 2 minutes rest between each run. Was able to keep close to the same pace for every run (3 sec delta) but the last two were close to an all out effort to keep that pace. Totally zapped the legs.
- I am trying to transition to The Zone diet/nutrition program. Seems like a great program. Will write more later.
I hope to be more consistent with the blogging as the weeks were on. Thanks for the support and don't forget to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
