    I get a lot out of reading peoples logs on boards so I figured I'd throw my own sessions up here too.

    My main focus is improving my 1-3ish mile running ability and general muscular endurance. I like doing crossfit style workouts and try to follow a 3 on 1 off schedule.

    Rest day today.

    Doing Murph for the 1st time tomorrow (giggity) so just doing some lax ball work on abductors and psoas tonight for active recovery.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭Remmy


    warmup-broom stretch 3x20. jumping jacks, rope jumps.

    Murph
    1 mile run
    100 pullups
    200 pushups
    300 squats
    1 mile run

    Time: 1hr:14 mins.

    I partitioned the bw stuff into 20 rounds of 5/10/15. I definitely feel pacing is a skill that has to be learned for these workouts. I went out fast for the first mile and 7 or so rounds. Then my upper body was filled with lactic acid and I had to spend time in between sets to let my muscles recover.


    Now, I'm going to have a large a large choc milk, contrast shower, lax ball . I have my first spin class tomorrow :D

    My spin buddy was busy so I did this instead;

    Weighted pullups
    +5kg x5
    +10kgx5
    20kgx2.5

    Was hoping for atleast 4 on my final set but my lats said not today buddy.
