Long run - 3 loops @ walker ranch; 2 ccw, 1 cw
time - 4:49:01
distance - 22.5 miles


  • Notes: Took aid breaks between each loop to try to simulate a race. Ate pita chips, peanut butter, a clif builder bar, and salt/water. Felt decent except my hip flexor was super sore and kinda acting up.

max pullups - 12

1 arm db row, 50# - 10 each arm

2 x 12 side plank leg lefts, L/R



  • Notes: Really tried to focus on the squat today, but still feeling relatively weak on it at 200. The second and third sets felt pretty strong though. Max pulls were pretty low, but I think it was just from the L-pullups right before. 
  • Body: Good. Neck is still super sore, must have been from some wrestling. Not really tired or sore from yesterday at all.

  • Body: Neck is super sore for some reason. Little tired overall from this weekend, but muscles are feeling good.

Sunday, May 5, 2013

Louisville half

0800

Louisville half marathon - 1:50 ish


  • Notes: Decent outing today, just hopped in with a friend who was running it and took it pretty easy with her. Didn't push the pace much. Course was very flat, which was nice.
  • Body: Calves got pretty sore towards the end, probably some leftover from yesterday's run. Right knee a little tight as well.

1230

press 1-1-1-1-1 (110,120,125,130,130#

20 situps
20 flutter kicks
20 leg levers
20 box jumps (2nd tallest)

time - 14:30


  • Notes: Haven't gone overhead heavy in a while, so this was nice. My jerk wasn't great, the first one at 160# was especially broken, but I fixed it afterwards.
  • Body: Feeling good. Tomorrow and Sunday are going to involve lots of running.

Wednesday, May 1, 2013

DL, pulls, sprints

1000

face pulls/rows

deadlift, moderate sumo

weighted chinups
5 x 25, 50, 65#

100 hollow rocks

tabata sprints
treadmill 12% grade 6:15/mile pace



  • Notes: Really good day. Easy on paper, but the lifts wore me out and the tabata was...a tabata. PR on my 5 rep pull and it felt really strong. I think I can attribute it to a better bracing strategy and mechanics than actual strength. Reading Kelly Starrett's book has really gotten me back in the game with mobility and movement.
  • Body: Anterior shoulders still sore, and my glute/hams are a little knotted up. Really need to massage my feet...

Tuesday, April 30, 2013

swim, pullups

1830

300yd w/u
100yd kick drills
100yd pull drills

30 minutes easy css and freestyle tech. work
-worked on scissor kick, keeping hands close and cupped, and staying long

max pullups - 16



  • Notes: Felt good today, much better than yesterday. I think all the sleep helped yesterday. The new pool setup kind of sucks since there are only 4 lanes, and they are so narrow that if anyone shares it space for css stroke is pretty limited so I worked on freestyle for a bit as well. Scissor kick is getting better.
  • Body: Anterior shoulders are tight, and my feet are kinda crampy for whatever reason. Energy levels felt much improved today.

Monday, April 29, 2013

  • Notes: Still feeling a bit run down. I planned on doing Green today but came hope and napped first and just didn't have the legs for it. Trying to really dial in the diet and sleep to get over this hump.
  • Body: Tired, calves were still really sore today.

  • Notes: So-so weekend of training. My squat felt pretty damn weak today and I couldn't even bang out 3 reps at 215. Soccer game probably didn't help, but still disappointing.
  • Body: Calves are really sore from the track workout strangely. Need to be more diligent about doing mobility like I used to. My shoulders are really tight right now.

  • Notes: Good day. First time trying to regressions but I like them. Gets a little more endurance work in their as by the time the deadlifts come around your legs are pretty worn out. Could have gone heavier. Dips feel so-so right now, but still improving. Hills felt strong.
  • Body: Little bit tired when I went into the gym this morning, but good overall. Shoulders and neck are little tight. Really looking forward to finishing up this semester to get some time to relax.

Monday, April 22, 2013

rest

No training today.


  • Notes: Feel amazingly well recovered. No soreness from the run at all, just a little tight in the hips. Taking the day off just to catch up on some work and do some mobility.
  • Body: Good.

  • Body: Feeling solid. Squat wasn't as strong as I hoped it would be, but still moving up. Curious to see how my recovery is after today.


Thursday, April 18, 2013

green

1100 run

Green mountain from home via saddle rock + greenman - 2:13:14
ascent time - 1:04
distance - 6.84 miles


  • Notes: Very difficult but gorgeous conditions today. Snowshoes would have probably been more appropriate than yaks as I was trudging thru 1-2 foot deep snow the entire time. I call this a "run" but honestly there was little running, especially on the ascent. Still there is something awesome and humbling about struggling up a mountain in the quiet after a big snowstorm. Really peaceful. Plus the view at the top can't be beaten.
  • Body: Upper middle back and hamstrings are really tight today. Lymph node is still slightly swollen, but all the swelling in my shin is starting to get better I think. Given how slow-going today was (and how much fun I had), I would probably consider today active recovery.

  • Notes: Fixed my scissor kick to make it an actual scissor kick, now I just need to work on and improve it. Felt much better today.
  • Body: Feeling normal again. Little sore in the abs from yesterday. Unfortunately, I have some swollen lymph nodes again from the big scrape I have on my leg. Hopefully they will go away on their own.

3x
2 minutes max pushups (25#, feet elevated, regular)
2 minutes max situps (25#, straight leg unanchored, regular)
max pullups (25#, chest to bar, regular)


  • Notes: Easy weekend to try to recover from whatever stomach/systemic shit I have had the past week. I think my gut is just messed up from the antibiotics and getting re-colonized by bacteria, which is probably what has been the source of this GI trouble and feeling crappy. Felt a little bit better today on the run, but I was hurting a lot on walker ranch the other day...it was definitely an unusual amount of fatigue for the intensity level. 
  • Body: Fine, general symptoms have been improving, but I don't have exceedingly high expectations for this week. Tore up my shin and knee nicely during ultimate last night, but it was a good time.

squat, pullups/dips

Squatted a little bit on Wednesday

Thursday
1100

10 x 170#

goblet squats, db
15 x 60, 65, 70#

5x
10 pullups
10 dips



  • Notes: Wasn't feeling the heavy weight today so just went for a 10 rep. Energy levels weren't very good, but significantly improved from yesterday.
  • Body: In some kind of funk right now. Energy levels have been extremely low, having lots of GI issues, not much appetite, and just feeling a little bit off. The stomach issues are the weirdest part, I'm wondering if I am just dealing with some of the side effects of that round of antibiotics. My diet has had a little bit more wheat in it than usual, but I am not sure exactly what the deal is. Anytime I lose my appetite and desire to train I know something is up. Gonna rest this weekend and try to get my diet locked up, maybe take some digestive enzymes and see if I can't take care of this nice and quickly.

  • Body: Legs are tired and a little tight.

  • Notes: Lift was disappointing today. Haven't done jerks in a while and they were feeling pretty sloppy on the complex. I like the klokov and want to be able to put some decent weight up with it. The 5 minute tread was tough, my legs were pretty tired by the time I got around to it. 
  • Body: Legs a little sore.

  • Body: Legs are a little sore from monday. My right hip/IT was a little tender from the run...can't remember the last time I have had any IT issues. Once I get back into the groove and get my hips moving again I'm sure it will be fine.

  • Notes: Solid day, I am finally feeling my energy levels returning to normal. I really like ring pushups with weight. Being able to knock out 20-30 of those would bode well for my 2 minute pushups.
  • Body: Calves are a little tight from when they were cramping up yesterday. Effects from Strep are almost completely alleviated and I am feeling back to my normal self.

5 minutes rest
500m css @ 85% - 9:36
5 minutes rest
500m css w/ short fins

5 minutes leg tread w/ short fins, brick held above water - fail


  • Notes: Coming off being very sick and weak I was actually pretty pleased with how I felt in the pool today. Slow on the 500, but my form felt pretty decent. Calves cramped up terribly on the tread and I had to bail with 50 seconds left, but otherwise I have it in the bag. I would like to work up to holding 2 bricks out of water for 5 minutes.
  • Body: Feeling night and day better from this weekend. Started antibiotics last night and my headaches are totally gone. It's unfortunate that I needed them, as I don't like taking medicine this strong, but what can you do.

Monday, March 18, 2013

Wednesday, March 13, 2013

rest

No training.


  • Notes: Needed to take yesterday and today off.
  • Body: Wow, this is the first time I have literally been too sore to train in a long time. My posterior shoulders and triceps are just torched, along with my hamstrings for some reason. Can also feel a little sickness coming on, so the rest will do me some good.

  • Notes: PR on flagstaff by over a minute, despite crappy conditions. Tweaked my left ankle again playing soccer...gotta stop doing that. Lots of pulling work tonight - the ladders were especially tough, and the slider complex torched my shoulders.
  • Body: Feeling OK except for the ankle. Gonna start doing some compression on it again, hopefully its just another tweak.

  • Notes: Really good day. Challenging trail conditions with a mix of slush, hardpack, and soft/deep snow. Still almost beat my ascent pr even though it felt like I was crawling. Swim felt strong, I was turning in 0:45-0:46 on the sprints. Technique work is really helping.
  • Body: Feel good.

  • Notes: Pull felt pretty solid today. Don't know if I have done 10 pullups w/ 25 before, but it felt pretty easy actually. 
  • Body: No soreness from yesterday's run, already feel like I am recovering well.
  • General: My lifting template is based around mostly feel, especially in conjunction with these longer training runs. The goal will be simply to set a PR when I lift, using 3, 5 and the occasional 10 rep schemes since I would like to work on my endurance a little bit as well. Need to get back in the habit of staying in tune with my body and going off how I feel rather than just doing blind intensity. Having said that, I really want to get after my lifts in the next few months to get my legs strong for the 50, so that's what I am going to do.

The nice weather this weekend made a bunch of slush that froze last night and was covered with about 4-5 inches of fresh powder this morning. Uphills could barely be run or walked and downhills were ice slicks. Other areas were crusted over and nightmares for the ankles. Felt decent though, just a super slow time.
  • Body: Left ankle is a little mangled from a spill I took skiing yesterday, but I think it's just a mild sprain. I've been giving it some love and it's already started feeling better.
