Trail run:

5 miles with 1250' elevation in 54:43. That's 8:33 faster than last week! I love those early gains in cv endurance. I expect the improvements will slow down quite a bit but hope to get this trail in under 50 min in the coming weeks.

 

The diet is spot on and sleep habits have shown much improvement except for the last 2 nights when I showed a slippage in self disciple in regards to Netflix before bed. I'm going to nip that in the bud tonight.

 

Tomorrow I will get back on the grease the groove train and shoot for a total of 400 pushups, 120 pull-ups, 350 sit-ups, and 6-8 x 600m fast runs.

 

Oh yeah and I've been able keep my weight up at 184 during this time.

That's a ton of push-ups dude nice!

 

Hot out there? It's perfect October weather here now man. Heading up to Madison mid-November. Can't wait!

 

Thanks! I've been working on my capacity. I'm going up against a bunch of young studs in the academy and hopefully I can set myself apart.

 

It was super nice this week but got really hot today at 100 deg and will be hot thru the weekend. You're going to love Madtown. If you ever meet Catfish, local blues guitarist looks like Yosemite Sam, tell him I said hello.

Took a few days off. Ate like a champ

Max test

Dead hang pull-ups - 22 (decent)

Push-ups chest to floor 80bpm tempo with metronome, one beat up one beat down- 44 (needs improvement)

Sit ups 60bpm metronome - 55 (pretty weak)

 

Once I could not keep pace with the metronome the count was stopped for push-ups and sit-ups.

 

60 min later

 

Low intensity/high volume WO

20 sets each of 5 pull ups alternated with 10 slow chest to floor push-ups. Took me 26 min

Total of 100 pull-ups and 200 push-ups.

30 days out.

 

Trail run. 5 miles with 1250' elevation gain. 54:23. Beat my time by 20 sec even though the climb was slower and felt significantly harder today. I made up the time on the way down. I'm not sure why the climb hurt more today but I think some active recovery stretching and foam rolling plus increasing volume will help. You kind of have to run everyday to get good at it.

Trail run: 5 miles with 1250' elevation gain in 53:08.

 

1:15 improvement. I made all the improvement in the climbing portion which felt awesome. But I was much slower on the decent today because my hamstring started to cramp up. I should've drank more in the way up and not saved it but the cramp went away after drinking and the last mile was decent.

I had my pre academy physical today

 

BP - 103/66

Resting HR -44 bpm which was taken while I was standing waiting for to get on the treadmill for the exertion test.

I don't remember the exact protocol for the treadmill test but I was like this. 2 min of a regular walking pace at 0 deg and the pace got faster and faster while the treadmill gradually tilted to 16 deg. I was at a speed walking pace for a couple min. I think it was 12km/hr where my HR hit 136 and BP measured 124/66.

 

Lol my resting HR and BP before vegan was 60 and 124/84
