  • Wed Lunch Tire Workout

    admin

    Making the decision to skip leg day in the gym due to my next race, Bad Marsh 50K, this Saturday I figured I needed to get in some additional leg work out so on a

    90° day at 50% Humidity while pulling a tire I am Putting the “If it does not kill ya, it makes ya stronger” saying to the test.  It was hot and decided to pull the tire through the little hills around work today, really trying to fatigue my legs and cause the muscle spasms to appear as they did yesterday after my run.  Interestingly enough that did not happen.  However here are the list of changes from Yesterday to today.

    1)      Took in 16 oz of water + 1 Lemonade Nuun Tab at breakfast

    2)      Ate breakfast with lots of Garlic Salt, 2c Coffee

    3)      Took in 16 oz of water + 1 Lemonade Nuun Tab during training.

    4)      Took in less than 16 of water + 1 Lemonaid Nuun Tab

    5)      Ate a good lunch (1 hamburger patty, 1 Chicken leg / thigh, 1 mixed salad with oil & Vin)

    6)      Drank 1 Red Bull + 1 c Coffee

     

    I’m a little tired (4:10 PM) and feel a bit dehydrated but no spasms at all.

  • Tribe Tuesday / Tire Tuesday

    It was pouring down some of the BIGGEST rain drops I have ever seen but Tribe Tuesday was still going to happen.  Today we had several people show up despite the weather and had a great run.  I had made the decision earlier in the week that I was going to pull the tire for the 1st two miles and then see how I felt.

     

     

     

     

     

    20140617I don’t know if it was the rain making it easier to pull the tire of if it was the drop in temps but I really had a hard time keeping my times down around 9min/m while pulling the tire and afterwards I felt so good that I decided to run an additional four miles and ended up negative splitting each of them.

    PM Workout.

    GovCreekLate this evening a friend and I decided to go and run Governor’s  Creek, a local Mountain Bike Trail.  We had a good time and just cruised along.  The run was uneventful except for the one spill he had.  This time out was the shortest run I have done out there.  Somehow it seems that i always run a different way…EVERY TIME!  Don’t quite understand it but always makes for an adventure.  Anyhow, 4.27 Miles in 50:10.  No speed records being broken but a good time.

  • Finally…

    YAY!  Back on the run.  After 2 weeks of absolutely no running it was nice getting back to it.  Nice easy 30 min on the treadmill.  Now stretch and Ice.

    Note: I have been diligently in the gym strength training.  We have added in a leg day which last week worried me a little bit.  On the 3rd set of leg press my legs started cramping really bad so I immediately stopped.  After sleeping that night I was just sore but no pulls or anything.  At this point in the game I think it is going to be all about listening to the body and stopping BEFORE the body make me.

     

    Monday: Chest – Flat, Incline dumbbell, dumbbell fly

    Tuesday: Legs – Extensions, hamstring curls, leg presses, calf raises (Reg, outer, inner)

    Wednesday: Bi / Tri

    Thursday: Back (pull-ups 7’s descending to 1)

    Friday: Nothing
