Typically, I try to run a 5K on Saturdays and a 10K on Sundays. But I ran a 12K charity run this weekend. Running is not fun, but I get it done. And I run the SF half-marathon Super Bowl Sunday.

Thanks Nichole! It wasn’t so bad during the actual 400m and power cleans part as it was the moment the 3 mins of work ended and you are trying to breathe again and slow that heart rate back down! Anyhow, we were very thankful for the 3 minute rests…2 minutes would have been a train wreck!

Thanks Dave and Pete. My speed and endurance are my saving grace in CF. Even doing the PC at 155 is still 80% of my 1RM. My only choices are to get stronger which has been a slow steady climb or get older where the weights are more manageable for me. I’m afraid the later will occur first.

We are going to continue with much of the same template over the course of the next 8 weeks – building on overall strength, oly technique, overhead endurance improvement and aerobic capacity work. However, we are going to start a deadlift cycle and do some longer emoms (think 30 minutes) as well as progress some of the gymnastics. I want to now build volume with everyones gymnastics.
