I was able to crank through straight sets and felt good. I was going to do a high rep wall ball, pull up, kb swing workout instead but decided that the 800's scared me more. It's easy to pinpoint weaknesses (especially training solo) if I ask myself "is there an element of this workout that scares you a little?"-- or maybe just triggers the nervous poops. Those of you who read this know what I mean :)
Sunday- Sore hamstrings DAHHHH
Ran around campus for an hour!!!!!! Felt good to just cruise and feel fresh. Bloomington is so hilly that it turned into a bit of an interval workout. I will always enjoy going out for a long run every once in a while.
Monday
Woke up feeling way energized and surprisingly recovered.
Rowed 2k..... Didn't have much time to workout today and since there are now erg's in the weight room, it seemed like the thing to do. I made the classic mistake of forgetting how awful flying and dying is. I started out at my former PR (1:49ish) and totally imploded with 1000 to go. I finished with a 7:43.2 which is NOT very impressive, however I was pleased with the ability to even sit down and finish 2000 meters like it was no big deal. It's nice to finally be able to look at the erg as a tool rather than a failure hungry torture machine. My goal is to PR by summer time this year.
Today
Ran a 1 mile warm up
Clean & Jerk 105#
As many reps as possible in 5 minutes
Reps: 33
I think I got closer to 35 but my form was CRAP after 20... I am still working on being strong from the floor for high rep cleans. They turn into a slow dead lift, fast hang clean sort of combo that just isn't very efficient. I am pleased with my score but know that I have more.
I will do a better job updated this and next week.
