Did Conditioning first in the a.m. Wasn’t quite able to keep the 20 cal pace. 20/20/15/15/15/12/10

Primary Training Session
A) 12:07, off the AB in 5:52
B)155/175/185/195 shoulders were smoked after part A
C) 255
D) Worked up to 315 temp fs

Doing the conditioning first today may have not been the smartest but had to break up sessions and didn’t have a tone of time in the a.m.

Mental battle today. Bike metcon: 10:51. I went 5:02 on the bike. I took A risk here and tried to sprint the first 20 seconds than fall back into a 67-70rpm pace. Sprinted for another 20 seconds two other times. I think this affected my hspu. Some lessons learned and things to work on. 25 mins of transition and recovery then.. EMOM. The first 3-4 rounds I held the 20 cals but dropped off on it. Took a minute off and than attacked the rest of it, held 15 cals on the rest of the sets. C2B and thrusters unbroken.… Read more »

Welcome to the community Andrei! The first week or two of a new program will be tough but your body will adapt as long as you dial in your rest and recovery. Keep up the good work!
