2.5x85, Trainer/Yard Work

2.5x85, Trainer, Wow heavy legs, I mean real heavy legs. Just did about an 1.5 hours of lifting rocks/trees and shrubs, then got on the trainer. So I am noticing my back is hurting me, not sure why, guess I am neglecting it, time to do more core work.

1x84, Run

1x84, Run, New Newton came, they are great, also the colors are outstanding. Fast and for some reason have a different more comfortable feel to them. What a great company, they keep on improving and pushing the bar higher, for all to try to match.

1.5 x 83, Trainer

1.5 x 83, Trainer, first time on in about 10 days, felt heavy different muscles from swimming all the time. Got to get the MTB in order have an Xterra in about a month.

1x68-82 Swim/Sail

1x68-82, an average of 2 hours swimming, snorkeling, sailing. So I am working this into the hour slot to be fair. Body feels good after all the swimming and free diving on reefs and airplanes (one of the deepest free dives, in about 50-60 feet of water). 

1x67 - Cross Train

1 x 67 - Cross Train, warm up on the bike then went into a dry land swim set, then a push press 3 sets, bar, bar+20 and finally, bar+50. Finished with cable fly cross overs.

1x66 - Bike Trainer

1x66 - Trainer, not bad pushed a little harder in big gears felt tired, seems as though every couple weeks there is a week of bad tired legs.

1x65 - Hockey

1 x 65 - Hockey, so the season is over, I will sure miss these workouts.

1.15x64

1.15 x 64 - Bike trainer again, the weather is starting to break, but the comfort of no lights, traffic, people, cars does have its advantages.

1x63

1x63 - Run, now this was an enjoyable run, ran the railroad tracks, talk about having to pay attention. Trying to land on the wood each step really keeps you thinking, also not getting hit by a coal moving train is an incentive.

1x62

1x62 Swimming, Got to love it when the water is warmer than the air, tough getting out but well worth it. 2500+ yards. Swam and kicked to work out the legs.

1x61

1 x 61 - Ran and stretched, so today was speed work on the treadmill. If you have not done speed work on the treadmill try it, you will get faster. The best part about a treadmill is you set a MPH and you stay at that speed, running on a track or road you will vary, not on a treadmill, unless you jump off.
So

• 10 min warm up 9 min, 1.25 miles
• 6 X 11 MPH - 5:27 mile for 2 min
• 6 x 3.5 MPH walk for 2 min
• total 4 miles

Felt good once I got into the set but starting off was hard, it seemed fast. Once I was done running stretched and did some core work, not lower body, it is time to start working on speed and stop building size. 

1.10 x 60

1.10 x 60 - Trainer again, did a double, legs felt heavy from the day before but cranked through it.

1x59

1x59 - Nothing new, trainer, going through the gears, one leg drill to get a even stroke.

1x58

1x58 - Hockey, again it one of the toughest workouts, your inner thighs will hurt. You can actually feel your legs burn the next day if you are biking, if you are running they feel heavy.
