AM Workout (0630) 

4 Mile Run 

-31:30 ... got out the door before work ... no court appearances this week for the first time since I got back from in Europe (mid-September). I am extremely happy to be able to take a little time to myself and not stress about immediately hustling to meet a client to go prepare for or go to court. Anyway, didn't push the pace here at all... these were the first steps I've taken since the marathon... overall felt REALLY good, just went casually and ended up running about a 7:50 pace ... enjoyed this and made me miss running ... but it took about 3 weeks to want to actually 'go for a run.' Great stuff, looking forward to lifting later. 

PM Workout (1430)

Today was another tough workout... only because of massive tempo work... if these workout were done at 'my own pace' the weights would be much heavier and the sets would have been completed much quicker...

This morning was the most thorough glute / single leg work I've done in a very long time, if ever.

This morning was a fun/different workout ... wasn't too taxing, but was a lot of good movement.

Today was the most crossfit I've done since the marathon ... overall went well... a bit mentally difficult to not feel as fit as I have in the past, but I was very much prepared for that feeling. Fun way to spend Saturday morning ... still wasn't too taxing despite my lack of fitness at the moment.

A.
Every 2 for 6 (3 sets) of:
Sotts Press x 3 reps 

straight into...

Every 2 for 8 (4 sets) of:

straight into...

12 minutes to hit 6 'tough' Snatch singles

-Result =

Muscle Snatch = 135#, 145#, 155#
Snatch PP + OHS = 135# across
Pausing Hang Snatch = 95# across
Singles = 185# across

-Went very light on all of the sets here ... lots of technique work ... my right should felt very unstable and I didn't want to fuck with this at all ... got through everything and it was nice to move and snatch.

B.
For time:
1000m Row
30 BBJO (24/20")
30 C2B PU

-7:30 ... came off the rower in 3:15 ... BBJO were the worst part ... C2B pull-ups went 20/10 ... probably could have gotten these unbroken on a better bar ... I was on slick piece of shit bar, but got through them

C.
On a running clock:
AMRAP :90
Bike Cals
Rest :30
100' Handstand Walk

-Result = 31 cals, didn't get the time on the handstand walk ... it felt like complete shit ... I think I've been on my hands one other time since February ... so this wasn't surprising... but got through it and got it done, with a lot of breaks.

I was having an okay time in the gym until I missed what should have been a very easy lift ... definitely feel out of shape as fuck. And then after that, had to modify a part of the this 'test' week due to lack of space in the gym to do what I needed to... really frustrating little gym to work in toady... always sets a negative tone in my mind when something like this happens ... in retrospect I should just be happy I am injury free and had the time to workout today. I am looking forward to the continued opportunity to get back in shape... I am also looking forward to moving this summer to a place, hopefully, with a accommodating large gym.

First day back in the gym post-marathon. I am really looking forward to get back into lifting/crossfit shape. All this running and the adventure that was the marathon has been a nice change and a great challenge, but I have missed lifting a lot. Overall enjoyed this day... really blew up my legs. I will likely be sore after this after. Kept the weights consistently light, didn't feel bad about this, it was good to just move.

-Complete, 3 sets, 50# DB for goblet squats 

A) Back Squat
1RM - On a 20min clock build up to a max for the day
*FILM FOR YOUR REFERENCE LATER 

-135# x 10, 225# x 8, 275# x 3, 325# x 1, 350# x 1 ... prior to the marathon was back squat was 430# ... I probably could have done more today, but I really didn't want to push myself too hard and hurt myself. 

B) Back Squat
Take 85% of the total weight lifting in part A max - then perform 1 set of Max Reps at a Strict 30X0 Tempo
Example
- Max Squat Part A = 100kg
- Load 85kg on the bar and perform 1 set for max reps
- Tempo reads as follows:
3 seconds Down
0 seconds Pause at bottom
X Up as fast as you can
0 seconds Pause at top
*most key is that you maintain the tempo on the way down and you absolutely cannot stop moving with a pause at the top. If you pause even slightly at the top the set is over. - Total reps listed
*FILM FOR YOUR REFERENCE LATER 

-Complete, 280# x 5 ... again, maybe more there, but wasn't messing around with an injury coming off this marathon 

C) 3 Sets Not For Time (NFT)
2 Turkish Get Ups/arm
6-8 Rower Pike ups Slow Controlled
6 Lateral box step Downs 30X0


-Complete, 35# KB for the get-ups, 24" box for the step down

D) 3mins AMRAP

5 Full Days of Complete Rest ... got a 90 minute massage on Wednesday that felt amazing ... Monday/Tuesday I was very sore in my feet, calves, back and hamstrings ... a little in my quads, but not much. Overall though, after a full 5 days of "rest" (very busy work weeks, 14+ hour days every day) I am atlas no longer sore.
