Rest Day

No workout.

Notes
  • Body: Feeling pretty good.  Some residual soreness in tibia, but I don't think it's from yesterday's run, just faint and leftover from earlier in the week.

Saturday, December 3, 2011

Run

Afternoon

@ track
4 x 400m warm up/stretch
4 mile run, moderate pace, 38:37
1 mile cool down/stretch

Notes
  • Body: Legs a bit tired.  Tibia feels ok, slight irritation.
  • Run: Went quite well today.  Took my time warming up and I found my stride early.  Felt good.  The "cue" for me to find balance, or at least how I am perceiving what I am doing, is by concentrating on right hip/leg adduction (upper leg closer to centerline).  That seems to help me activate my hip/glute, relax my lower leg, and feel balanced as I run.  6 miles total today.

Durability:  Sprint 1 min max effort, 30 second rest, 8 rounds.  Max sit-ups in 2 minutes, followed immediately by 3 minute plank hold.  Stretch or Hip Mobility drill
-  86 sit ups.  Plank.  Ran 1 mile before DL, 1 mile after chipper, and 1 mile after core work.

Notes
  • Body: Feeling good and ready to workout.  A little tired.
  • Workout: This WC was designed to be pretty difficult.  That is a lot of movement to do in a minute.  135# proved to be a bit heavy, and I ended up changing the workout to be more of a "ladder," and scaling the weight by the end.  DLs went well, 345# x 3 is good for me.
  • Run: Went decent enough.  Breaking the running up into smaller segments has been helpful.  I didn't feel 100% balanced thru the runs until the final 400m.  Counting the 800m sandbag carry, did 4.5 miles today.

Sunday, November 20, 2011

Rest Day

No workout.

Notes
  • Body: Tib a little funky, but not bad.  The surface yesterday was a little unusual for my running.

Saturday, November 19, 2011

Run

Afternoon

Ran 2.25 miles, on the streets, easy pace.

Notes
  • Body: Quads still pretty sore, along with hams and glutes.
  • Run: Today went decent, but I did not feel as balanced as the rest of the week--maybe because I was running on a surface I'm not used to, and the road is slightly crowned.  All said, did 16 miles this week and felt better than I have in the recent past (weeks when I ran 10ish - 15ish miles).

Friday, November 18, 2011

Notes
  • Body: Sore quads, hams and glutes today.
  • Workout: Felt pretty good today and the thrusters went well.  This may be a PR or tied a PR.  I feel like 175# x 2 is.  WC, I've lost my MU, definitely haven't done them enough to keep them.  Workout went well though. 
  • Run: Running has been feeling great this week.  My footstrike has been feeling relaxed and my hips have been feeling balanced, and my tibia has been behaving.  This is encouraging, especially at the volume this week.

Notes
  • Body: Feel pretty good after resting for this weekend.  Tibia/running felt good today.

  • Running: 4 miles total today, counting the farmer's carry which was done at a run pace.  Runs felt good.  I believe that I need to run more from the hips and relax my lower leg in order to achieve balance and avoid injury.  It's difficult to focus on that, but I'm getting better.

Sunday, November 13, 2011
