Training Accountability: Week 2



8/15 - Moved my new bed. If you saw the corner at the top of the stairs I had to get this around by myself, you'd consider it a workout too. Otherwise worthless.

8/16 - Rounds in 30 minutes of: 20-rep man-maker (20 mountain climbers, 20 push-ups, 20 single arm raises without breaking from push-up position), 3:00 freestyle heavy bag rounds, no rest. Got through five complete rounds and the man-maker of #6 before time ran out.

8/17 - 4.5 mile run up and down Cerro Coso hill - 600 ft climb.

8/18 - 1.25 mile run; 15 rounds for distance of: Sprint 20 seconds, Rest 40 seconds, Start each round at previous round's end point - made it 1 mile; 2.25 mile run home.

8/19 - Helped blow up 7,000 pounds of explosives. Count it - C4 is heavy.

8/20 - 4 mile run, mild hills w/ Dirty Derby.

8/21 - Weakness. 12 0z. curls. Lots of 'em.

8/22 - Paddleboarded about 20 minutes with Derby. Pretty pathetic. Ruthless hangover.


All things considered, it was an OK week, but I need to get better. Legs are getting a little dinged up from barefooting the sprints and hills - going to take it easy on them and move to more swimming this week until we hit the Reedley College hill again on Saturday. The sprint workout I did on the 18th is pretty crazy - doesn't seem like much, but it really stacks up around round 7. Crossfit is making a noticeable difference in my cardio - worth looking into.

Sound off, suckers.

  3. Absolutely crushing it right now. I do need to pick up the mileage in terrain running. I gave myself 8/21 and 8/22 off, but I did ride my bike on 8/21.
