For what ever reason this spoke to me. I don’t know why but I have a huge desire to run this race. Maybe it’s becauses it’s there. Maybe to prove a point or put my training to the test. I think it’s to give me a goal to train for other than just general fitness. The Past few months I’ve been dabbling in my training; Pushing to get my anaerobic recovery down, More mobility and power generation all of which has helped my martial activities but since I don’t fight enough nowdays to notice the results, I’ve been getting bored. PLus, deep down, part of me wants to push myself outside my comfort zone and return to the EMBRACE THE SUCK Philosophy. That part of me that enjoys the struggle and the fight.
So my run yesterday didn’t go that well but went about as I expected. Running in the Vibram Five Finger shoes defiantly had a training effect on my ankles. They were no happy but with some movement and mobility training this morning, they are better. Or, it could be the drugs.
And as much as I want to go Full Tilt Boogie with my training, I’m slowly ramping up the work so I won’t hit the overtraining wall.
This morning, was a warmup of Intu-FLow and 20 minutes on the treadmill for a slow walk to warm the body up. Then it was 5 sets of 5 Pullup with a bungie cord assist and 3 sec negative hangs at the top. Then 5 sets of 10 Creeper Crunches. Using the wheeled creeper from the shop, I went into pushup position and drawing the hips into the air and pulling the legs in like I was going into Crow Pose and back out to plank Pose.
Cooldown was Wind Removing Pose to loosen the low back, Downward Dog and Pigeon pose.
As always the first few days of any program will tweek as I go through it and add or modify to get the results I need and want.
