Post your times for the intervals to the comments.

Objective: The time domain is set: 25 minutes to get as many intervals as possible of the varied distances. These should be run at your 5k pace, which you should be able to maintain with short rest in between. We’ve ran all these distances before, so you should be familiar with your pacing for these. If you average 7 minute miles on your 5k then see if you can keep that for all of these distances. The key is going to be your rest periods. If you feel good and want to push the pace, shorten the rest and see if you are still able to hold your pace.

D.
Cool Down
5 minutes of Jogging
10 minutes of static stretching (Focus on Achilles, Shins, Quads & Hips)

Today did not start out like I planned- build to a 225 backsquat and tried for 235… I couldn’t bail like normal… no bounce out of my knees so I literally tipped backwards and the bar drug my shoulder blade down and I gave myself a stinger on the left. I have had many of my student athete patients have singers before, but never like this. Did 6 min EMOM at 215 but the same thing happened on my last one. Had to call it a day.

Went for a two mile walk… arm is pretty numb and sore

A. Back squat was supposed to work up to 108-114, but only made 105 and missed 110 B. Dropped down to 105 for the 6 sets (87.5%) Did the strongman warmup and finisher (minus the sled sprint) then coached for a few hours and came back to finish the bulk of the strongman. A. Farmers walk: 115# each B. Sandbag carry: carried two together for 150#ish C. Sled pull: big sled (45#?) +135# Yoke carry: yoke (200#?) plus 180# We found the actual yoke and put it together since that was just as much work as creating something else Sled… Read more »

One sesh:

Strength:
A) up to 235, which didn’t feel as awful as expected. Used a belt last lift.
B) all at 225, no belt, also not awful.

Conditioning:
Shoulder has been cranky since ohs in Monday (haven’t been showing it enough love). Subbed strict press at 80 for the first part, and strict press with 45 for the three rounds. Didn’t hurt so much as burn like a mo’fo.

Session two
Did the gymnastics conditioning from yesterday not for time. Ghd capacity is going up and I was able to move through the legless even though I didn’t feel fresh. Think that’s going to be it for today. Good training week.

Strong man done at home with what I have.

5 rounds

10 dball front squat all unbroken 100# dball
*These were awkward and tough. I love odd object work!

100ft unbroken 100# dball carry

40# dumbbell carry overhead (40# in each hand) 100ft unbroken

Love the overhead carry cause they help my stabilization muscles so much and I always see improvements in my oh positions when I add these in!
